Local Pricing Notes
01
VAT in CN ranges from 6% (services) to 13% (goods). Technology services are typically 6%.
02
Alipay and WeChat Pay are mandatory payment rails. Card payments are marginal.
03
PIPL (Personal Information Protection Law) compliance is non-negotiable and subject to active enforcement.
04
Foreign-operated SaaS requires ICP licence or partnership with a licensed CN entity. This is a legal requirement, not optional.
Willingness to Pay Assessment
CN enterprise (SOEs and large private companies) can pay comparably to US for mission-critical software. SME and consumer are highly price-compressed. Freemium-to-enterprise is the viable path.
