In actual operation, after the Chao News reporter opened the Taobao order payment page, they have not seen the WeChat QR code payment entrance yet.
In response, a reporter from Chao News also asked Taobao's official customer service, who said, "WeChat Pay is a service launched and gradually opened by Taobao to pay Taobao orders through WeChat Pay (whether WeChat Pay can be used, please refer to the payment page display)." The customer service also mentioned that WeChat Pay is currently only gradually open to some users and only supports the option to purchase certain products.

Netizens also remember that in 2021, in the WeChat group chat and point-to-point chat scenarios, Taobao and Tiktok links can be opened. The first time you click on the Taobao link, you need to log in to your account. Next, you can directly open the product page.
This is also the first time that WeChat and Taobao have achieved "interconnectivity" after blocking each other for 8 years. At that time, some netizens expressed that they "witnessed history" regarding this major event of interconnectivity.
In 2022, according to online reports, Taobao is launching an internal test of WeChat payment function for a small scale, and has added two payment modes related to "WeChat payment" in the payment options, namely "WeChat QR code payment" and "Go to WeChat to find friends to help pay".
In recent years, Alibaba and Tencent have been deepening their interconnection in the payment field. As the external links of Taobao and WeChat gradually loosen, the outside world is also looking forward to both sides taking further steps.
