I download this tv app apk file and install at Mibox, no problem so far... tomorrow is the last day preview. 30 days for USD 1 for new member.

dunno lol not mi box user

My original question is about WeChatPay or AliPay for China online apps... can anyone help ?

got vpn into china eg transocks, ufunr, gotocn etc...

u can register your malaysian bank card with wechat & alipay because that's linked to the malaysian wallet

but if u want to pay to china, that wouldn't work

might as well pay direct using credit card if there's an option

Hmm... I am using MiBox and this particular TV apps only provide WeChatPay or AliPay QR code for payment. I am stuck.

Thanks and noted your suggestion.

The apps only allow me to pay by WeChat or AliPay with their QR code. When I scan the code, it doesn't link to my credit card, and my bankcard doesn't recognize.

easy, u need change your wechat wallet to china version. Bind credit card does work but not debit card.
if you dont have credit card, find money changer for RMB and exchange ur Ringgit to RMB. Then u can subscribe with wechat pay

oh, you mean install another wechat apps (chinese version?)

My current wechat app can bind malaysia credit card, but when i scan the QR code, the apps ask to key in card number, but credit card and bankcard not recognise and accepted .

alipay can what ... only wechatpay is too troublesome

I try AliPay too, same problem with wechatpay.. After scanning QR code, ask me manually enter card number... i try both credit card from different banks, debit card. All not recognised..

use china app, must use china bank also. everything must be china made..

no need to install another wechat, just use ur current wechat. there is an option to switch wallet zone, just switch it to china

Can only talk from my experience as both Alipay and WeChat requires identity verification even after you add a China bank card or credit card.

For WeChat:

You can only add China Credit or Debit Card. After that you have to go tru identity verification. Back when I tried, it didn't recognize my passport number so I gave up. But I still manage to get a China wallet activated.

Back then to activate it was simple, just get someone to send you a red packet and it'll automatically activate. There are also services that you can pay locally to get WeChat China Wallet balance, which should solve your problem.

However, I was also told that when u receive a red packet for the first time, you'll need to go tru the same identification process to receive it. So if you do not have a China wallet activated on WeChat, tough luck.

For Alipay:

Can't say anything about the card adding process as when I linked my China bank card with it, the process wasn't so strict.

But I can talk about the identification verification process, which is also a pain in the ass. They do accept passport no. but you'll have to take a picture of your passport. And this can only be done on your phone, so no, you can't scan and upload that, it's strictly camera only. And you know our passport is quite shiny, so no, they'll reject it (tried 5 times, rejected 5 times). Then I finally managed to get hold of customer service and send them a scanned copy of my passport to get verified.


IMO, you should try searching taobao to see if you can buy the membership via there instead.

As what i understand, for international Alipay and Wechatpaya malaysian credit card is fine. But for chinese Alipay and Wechatpay a chinese card is necessary.

Thanks for your detailed reply. I have no problem with Taobao online shopping , can use Malaysia CCard to pay and automatic link with AliPay .

I have emailed to the apps contact person, asking any other alternative payment or direct TT , still waiting for their reply.
