# WeChat Pay

## Overview

WeChat Pay is an online payment method that allows shoppers in China and Hong Kong to send payments through the WeChat social media mobile application. Every WeChat user has their own WeChat Payment account, in which they can acquire balance by linking their WeChat account to their debit card. With an increasing market share in China and Southeast Asia, WeChat Pay offers customers an easy-to-use and reliable payment method.
