More convenient! Taobao will fully support WeChat payment!

For a long time, due to commercial competition and other factors, Taobao and WeChat have not been able to achieve interconnection in payment methods, which has brought many inconveniences to consumers. With Taobao and Tmall announcing plans to add WeChat payment capabilities, this situation will be fundamentally changed. Consumers will be able to directly use WeChat payment to settle their purchases on Taobao and Tmall, which will undoubtedly greatly improve the shopping convenience of consumers.

Driven by the wave of digitalization, China's e-commerce and mobile payment sectors are developing at an unprecedented speed. Among them, Taobao and WeChat, as two major Internet giants, have each occupied a pivotal position in the fields of e-commerce and payment.

However, for a long time, due to commercial competition and other reasons, Taobao and WeChat have not been able to achieve full interconnection in payment methods, which has brought many inconveniences to consumers. But recently, this situation is expected to be fundamentally changed.

Recently, Taobao and Tmall released an announcement stating that in order to further enhance consumers' shopping experience, it plans to add WeChat payment capabilities and adjust platform rules after the opinion collection is completed.

This adjustment will cover all Taobao and Tmall merchants, which means that in the future consumers will be able to use WeChat Pay directly to settle payments when shopping on Taobao and Tmall.

Regarding this cooperation, Taobao and Tmall said that they always uphold the concept of open cooperation and actively explore interoperability and cooperation with various platforms to continuously improve consumers' shopping experience. WeChat Pay also responded that it is currently working with Taobao platform merchants to adapt its functions. Please pay attention to the Taobao platform announcement for the specific launch time.

Both parties stated that they will continue to provide users with a more convenient, pleasant and efficient payment experience while ensuring transaction security.

It is worth mentioning that before cooperating with Taobao, WeChat Pay had already carried out payment interoperability cooperation with UnionPay QuickPass, JD Pay, payment platforms under the three major operators, and digital RMB.

This shows that WeChat Pay has been actively promoting interoperability and cooperation with other fields to expand its payment ecosystem. The cooperation with Taobao is undoubtedly an important step in this open strategy.

In fact, before Taobao and Tmall officially announced support for WeChat payment, the Taobao Special Edition App had quietly added the WeChat payment option. When consumers shop in the Taobao Special App, they can choose Alipay payment first, or they can click "Change" to see the newly added WeChat payment option.

Although this change is only piloted on a local scale, it undoubtedly lays the foundation for comprehensive cooperation in the future.

Netizens expressed warm welcome to the news that Taobao will fully support WeChat Payment.

Many netizens said, "Shopping is now more convenient," and some expect the process to be accelerated. Some netizens also recalled the history of WeChat and Taobao blocking each other, and lamented that they have finally achieved "interconnection and interoperability."

The interconnection between Taobao and WeChat will not only bring consumers a more convenient shopping experience, but will also have a profound impact on the entire e-commerce and payment industry.

This cooperation will break the long-standing competition barriers between the two giants and promote the further integration and development of e-commerce and payment fields. At the same time, it will also provide new cooperation ideas and models for other e-commerce platforms and payment institutions.

The news that Taobao will fully support WeChat payment is undoubtedly exciting news. It marks that the development of China's e-commerce and payment fields has entered a new stage, and also brings consumers a more convenient, efficient and pleasant shopping experience.
