Card Declined at Checkout

Show this to the cashier

你好,我使用的是海外信用卡(Visa / Mastercard)。 请在您的 POS 机上尝试按"国际卡"或"外卡"键,或者帮我刷外卡通道,谢谢!

📱

WeChat / Alipay Payment Failed

Show this to the cashier

你好,我的微信/支付宝绑定的是外国信用卡,有时候会因为风控被拒绝。 能麻烦您扫我的"付款码"再试一次吗?或者请让我扫您的"商家收款码"。谢谢!

Ask them to try scanning your QR code first; if that fails, try scanning their merchant code.
