# Enable WeChat Pay for in-app payments

Learn about additional steps that you need to do to accept WeChat Pay in-app payments.

[View source](/payment-methods/wechat-pay/wechat-pay-in-app-payments/enable-wechat-pay.md)

Before you can start accepting WeChat Pay in-app payments, you need to:

* [Create a developer account](#create-developer-account) on the WeChat Open Platform.
* [Register your mobile app](#register-mobile-app) with WeChat.

Additionally, if you prefer to build your own WeChat Pay integration and not use our existing Drop-in or Component, you need to:

* [Integrate WeChat's mobile SDKs](#integrate-wechats-mobile-sdks).

## Create a WeChat developer account

To register a WeChat Developer Account:

1. Go to <https://open.weixin.qq.com/> and select **Sign Up**.
2. Fill in your information and complete your developer profile.

WeChat will contact you to verify that the details you provided are correct. Once approved, you can register your mobile app.

## Register mobile app

To register your Android app with WeChat:

1. Go to <https://open.weixin.qq.com/> and click **Log In** .

2. Navigate to **Admin Center** > **Mobile Application** > **Create Mobile Application**, and enter the following for your app:

   1. Name.
   2. Short introduction.
   3. The official website.
   4. **iOS only**: The App Store download link and Bundle ID. The Bundle ID is usually in the format **com.your-company.app-name**

   When your app is successfully registered, you'll receive an **AppID** and **AppSecret** from WeChat.

3. Contact our [Support Team](https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/ca/contactUs/support.shtml?form=other), and provide them your **AppID** and **AppSecret**. This will ensure that payments made with your app are settled to your Adyen account.

## Integrate WeChat's mobile SDKs

1. [Follow the steps for registering with WeChat for in-app payments](https://pay.weixin.qq.com/public/wechatpay/apply_guide).

2. Integrate the WeChat Pay SDK into your app:

   1. Go to <https://open.weixin.qq.com/> and navigate to **Resource Center**.

   2. Open **Downloads**, and select either:

      * **iOS Resource Download** > **iOS Development Kit (version x.x.x with payment functionality)**.
      * **Android Resource Download** > **Development Kit (SDK)**.

   3. Follow the instructions provided in the downloaded file to integrate the SDK.
