Making a Three-in-One Tipping Link

Machine-translated (anthropic, claude-haiku-5-5) from the Chinese original. Read the original in 中文

Recently, while browsing blogs, I noticed that many of them come with a tipping feature. Although few people may actually tip, it is still a gesture of goodwill. It lets the blogger know that their writing has been useful and has helped someone. So I wanted to add a tipping feature too~

But after browsing around on GitHub, I found that tipping plugins are pretty much all the same: QQ scan / WeChat scan / Alipay scan.

Some display every payment code all at once:

Scan this one for WeChat, that one for Alipay. Not only does it load multiple QR codes, but it also needs CSS/JS to make it look nice. For a lazy programmer who doesn't want to write any of that, that just won't do.

So, could we merge QQ, WeChat, and Alipay into one, so that only a single payment code needs to be scanned?

This involves a knowledge point: the User-Agent. The webviews of major tech companies include their own app's UA information. For example:

QQ:

text
MQQBrowser/6.2TBS/043221Safari/537.36QQ/7.0.0.3135

WeChat:

text
MQQBrowser/6.2 TBS 043220 Safari/537.36 MicroMessenger/6.5.8.1060NetType/4GLanguage/zh_CN

Alipay:

text
UCBrowser/11.5.0.939UCBS/2.10.1.6Mobile Safari/537.36AliApp(AP/10.0.15.051805)AlipayClient/10.0.15.051805 Language/zh-Hans

This makes it easy to tell whether a scan comes from QQ, WeChat, or Alipay:

That's the analysis done, so let's get to work.

User-Agent containing QQ/ means QQ

User-Agent containing MicroMessenger means WeChat

User-Agent containing AlipayClient means Alipay

Since we can distinguish each app, we can build a URL of our own. After a QR code pointing to this URL is scanned, the server checks the browser's UA and serves different payment codes accordingly.

The general flow is:

Client scans code -> server determines client type from User-Agent -> returns different handling for each type

First, decoding: you can go here to decode

QQ:

text
https://i.qianbao.qq.com/wallet/sqrcode.htm?m=tenpay&a=1&u=17878127&ac=E04BE442991E7FFED28B3B5C3E187148F063DC3C6DACAD2983C87B482FC9E7AD&n=薛定谔的猫&f=wallet

(https protocol, cannot wake up QQ)

Alipay:

text
HTTPS://QR.ALIPAY.COM/FKX03549OW666ME7BXWF7A

(https protocol, can directly wake up the Alipay APP)

WeChat:

text
wxp://f2f09hjzo72AAYEITIBaolV-3cvGrDjE0q7k

(WeChat's own payment protocol, cannot wake up WeChat)

Now we can write the code directly. If the User-Agent is Alipay, redirect directly to the Alipay link; if it is QQ or WeChat, redirect to the QQ or WeChat link.

However, since QQ and WeChat cannot be woken up directly, we simply output a QQ and WeChat QR code, and users long-press to scan it and complete the payment.

The code is as follows:

php
<?php
  $ua = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
  if (strpos($ua, 'MicroMessenger')) {
    $type = 'wepay';
    $name = '微信支付';    
    //你的微信支付链接
    $url = 'wxp://f2f09zG5DQPSOuUPNNMrMyxwFPagCJUzo30v';
    $icon_img = '<img src="http://ww2.sinaimg.cn/large/005zWjpngy1fojrwgr20oj303k03kglg.jpg" width="48px" height="48px" alt="'.$name.'">';
}elseif (strpos($ua, 'AlipayClient')) {   
    //你的支付宝链接
    $url = 'HTTPS://QR.ALIPAY.COM/FKX05405VRFBWPNF4WJ98E';
    header('location: ' . $url);
}elseif (strpos($ua, 'QQ/')) {
    $type = 'qq';
    $name = 'QQ钱包支付';  
    //你的QQ钱包支付链接
    $url = 'https://i.qianbao.qq.com/wallet/sqrcode.htm?m=tenpay&a=1&u=1242251966&ac=EBF630D218693B4D2D518335739288674D54816FED8990141085439E9F9715B4&n=%E6%80%BB%E5%88%86%E4%B8%8D%E4%B8%8A600%E4%B8%8D%E6%94%B9%E5%90%8D&f=wallet';

}else {
    $type = 'other';
    $name = '打赏作者';
    $url = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    $icon_img = '<img src="http://ww2.sinaimg.cn/large/005zWjpngy1fojs089x6tj303k03kjr6.jpg" width="48px" height="48px" alt="'.$name.'">';
