WeChat Pay for AI APIs: Pay for GPT, Claude & DeepSeek with WeChat
April 16, 2026 · 4 min read
Most AI API providers only accept credit cards in USD. For Chinese developers and businesses, this means dealing with foreign transaction fees, currency conversion, and credit card application hassles.
AIPower Supports WeChat Pay
AIPower is one of the few platforms that accepts WeChat Pay for AI API credits. Pay in CNY or HKD — no credit card needed.
How It Works
- Go to aipower.me/dashboard/billing
- Select "Add Credits"
- Choose "WeChat Pay"
- Scan the QR code with WeChat
- Credits are added instantly
Supported Payment Methods
| Method | Currency | Min Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Credit Card (Visa/MC/Amex) | USD | $5 |
| WeChat Pay | CNY / HKD | $5 equiv. |
All 16 Models Available
With WeChat Pay credits, you get access to the same 16 models as credit card users — GPT-5, Claude Opus, DeepSeek V3, Qwen, and all Chinese AI models.
