Using WeChat Pay as backup in summer: how do I know it really works?

Payments & Money

A traveler asks how to test WeChat Pay as a real backup during summer travel before relying on it for small purchases or rides.

I can bind things at home, but that does not always mean it will work in a small rushed moment. Would you actually pay for something tiny before relying on it as a backup?
