Pro tips by country
China: Register and test the account before departure. Some foreign signups still trigger friend verification, so do not wait until arrival or rely on WeChat as your only payment method.
China: Save business QR codes before the trip and keep access to your signup number. If verification fails, use the property's booking-platform messages or telephone until staff can help.
Macau: Messaging access does not guarantee WeChat Pay. Verify unexpected links or payment requests through a published channel.
These apps need data

A data eSIM gives you internet, not a local phone number, so it cannot receive SMS verification codes.
