Thanks I just tried and it works.
Search the mini program 跨境汇款 to receive the funds.
Only took a few minutes for the balance in WeChat pay to be credited.
You able to 创建名片? Weird no idea why keeps getting stuck on my side.

If you are scared of sideloading and security issues, use the pinduoduo app within Wechat.


Been using their iPhone apps, since day 1, so far so good.
As long you download from legit sources, like Apple App Store, Google Playstore shld be safe.
Some more PDD is a multi billions legit businees, its in their interest to protect the brand name....

I scanned the APK with VirusTotal. No malware detected. But when I wanted to install on my phone, it is blocked by Intune Company Portal. :mad:

Followed the instructions which says must search for this "Tenpay Global" within WeChat and create a namecard in order to receive transferred funds. But whenever i tried to click "创建名片" the app will show 系统繁忙. Been like this for the past 2 days.
Created the name card with no issues. Insert the sg phone number, full name and address then can le

Don’t mention! Mine came in within seconds, almost as fast as local PayNow. Just in time for my China trip later this year.

On the contrary, I find the more expensive stuff more reliable, like seldom 踩地雷, whereas is those super duper cheap stuff that are questionable.

So far my biggest purchase on PDD is a indoor spin bike for around $120. No issues. Bought 5-6 pairs of running shoes all authentic and no problem. PDD is like any other chinese ecommerce platform where there are official stores, authorized resellers and then 3rd party sellers. No worries as long buy from official stores.

No esp for financially stuff I will not do from App Store I’ll get it direct from the website itself.

for this app, I’ll just use droid apk. And leave iOS out of it.

My China friends tell me Alibaba is for foreigners that cannot read Chinese and made to pay a premium for it.

PDD on the other hand is known for poor quality goods and dodgy sellers. That's why the items there are so cheap and there's a reason. Why Taobao don't allow some of the sellers is also due to quality and reputation.

That's what they told me.

I don't trust side loading apps which covers financial payments. There must be a reason for Android to ban this app on their platform and for banning it for so long.

Scanning for malware alone isn't foolproof in the first place.

Do you know what is being coded in the apps? The IP addresses coded within the app that sends data to?

These few days saw the ads and downloaded to try. Orders reach 99 RMB free sea shipment to Singapore

Some stuff are really cheap and if can tahan the long delivery time may not be a bad option
Can't find on play store :s14:
