WeChat Pay accepted my Visa at FamilyMart, but not at a hospital kiosk

Short field report from Shanghai. My overseas Visa through WeChat Pay worked for FamilyMart, Luckin, and the metro QR code. It failed at a hospital self-service kiosk and at one older restaurant QR code.

Cash solved the restaurant. The hospital desk accepted the same card through a staffed terminal.

The pattern seems to be merchant type and terminal age, not the card itself.

Same pattern in Hangzhou. Staffed terminals were more forgiving than unattended kiosks. Keeping one physical card and a little cash still matters.
