Money & Payment

How payments work in China — it's almost entirely mobile.

How Mobile Payment Works
Scan to Pay vs Show to Pay — the two flows.
International Credit Cards in China
Useful in some places, but not reliable for everyday spending.
Cash Situations
Mobile-first, but keep some cash for backup.
Switching Payment Apps
Always have both Alipay and WeChat Pay as backup.
No Tipping
China has no tipping culture. The price you see is the price you pay.
No Sales Tax
The price displayed is the final price. No hidden charges.
Bargaining Rules
Where and how to negotiate prices in China.
