Overview
The "WeChat Pay - Create Order" operation allows users to create a payment order through the WeChat Pay service. This node action is useful for automating payment processing workflows where an order needs to be generated and sent to WeChat Pay for transaction handling.
Common scenarios include:
- E-commerce platforms generating payment orders when customers check out.
- Subscription services creating recurring payment orders.
- Any business process requiring integration with WeChat Pay to initiate payments programmatically.
For example, after collecting order details in a previous step, this node can be used to send those details to WeChat Pay and receive confirmation or payment instructions.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Order Data | The payment order details in JSON format. This should include all necessary fields required by WeChat Pay to create an order, such as amount, currency, description, and any other relevant payment parameters. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the response from the WeChat Pay API after attempting to create the order. This typically includes information such as:
- Order ID assigned by WeChat Pay
- Status of the order creation request
- Payment instructions or URLs if applicable
- Any error messages if the creation failed
The exact structure depends on the WeChat Pay API response but generally contains all data needed to proceed with payment or handle errors.
This node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires valid credentials for accessing the WeChat Pay API via an external API service (referred to generically as an API key credential).
- The node performs an initial validation call to a subscription-based API service to verify the API key and subscription status before proceeding.
- Proper configuration of these credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid subscription or API key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
- Malformed Order Data: Ensure the JSON provided in the "Order Data" property is well-formed and includes all required fields expected by WeChat Pay.
- API Validation Failure: Network issues or incorrect endpoint URLs may cause validation failures. Check connectivity and API URL settings.
- Unsupported Operation Error: This node only supports operations defined under the WeChat Pay resource; ensure the operation selected is "Create Order".
- Error Handling: If the node is set to continue on failure, errors will be returned in the output JSON under an
errorfield for easier debugging.
