Q1. In the provided test account credentials, which field identifies the partner and which identifies the merchant?
A1. If you are an agent providing payment services to merchants, X-QF-APPCODE and ClientKey identify the partner, while MCHID identifies the merchant.
If you are a direct merchant, then X-QF-APPCODE and ClientKey identify the merchant, and MCHID is typically not provided.
Q2. Can I use the given test or production account in a different country?
A2. No. Both test and production accounts are country-specific and cannot be used outside their designated region.
Q3. How do I test a transaction?
A3. You can use a real wallet (e.g., Alipay or WeChat Pay) to test transactions in the test environment, which simulates the production setup. Contact our technical support if you need assistance.
Q4. I received response code 1143 or 1145. What should I do?
A4. Continue polling the transaction status using the enquiry API.
If your business process requires binary logic (success/failure), you may treat the transaction as failed, and later issue a refund if a successful asynchronous notification is received.
Q5. The payment method I want to integrate is not listed in the documentation. What should I do?
A5. Use the Common Payment Parameters and refer to the Notes section at the end of the Payment Types page for any special instructions.
Q6. Can I refund a transaction made a few days ago?
A6. Refunds are only allowed if the same-day unsettled transaction amount is equal to or greater than the refund amount.
Q7. Will funds be transferred to my bank account when testing in the sandbox environment?
A7. No. Transactions in the sandbox environment are not settled. Please remember to immediately refund test transactions after they are created.
Q8. Can I use my overseas Alipay wallet to make a payment?
A8. No. Only Alipay wallets that are real-name verified Mainland China accounts can be used for cross-border transactions.
