Powered by WeChat's payment platform, Weixin Pay, international residents and visitors in East China's Shanghai can now link their foreign bank cards with WeChat.

By activating the Shanghai public transit QR code through the "Transit QR Code" WeChat mini program, they can also gain access to seamless travel across multiple transport modes. They can use the mini program to take buses, subways, ferries, maglev trains, the Jinshan Railway and Songjiang trams.

In tandem with this innovation, the "55@Shanghai, Destination of Shopping" global promotions campaign was launched recently.

The campaign introduces a series of service measures designed to enhance the shopping experience for international visitors.

To help out, WeChat has distributed over 100,000 bilingual guides throughout the city, covering more than 2,000 commercial outlets.

These guides are also incorporated into the 55@Shanghai, Destination of Shopping international handbook, providing comprehensive assistance for payment transactions made by international visitors.
