What is RedNote Web Top-up?
RedNote Web Top-up refers to accessing the xiaohongshu.com/recharge top-up page via browser, entering the phone number linked to your account, selecting the amount and completing payment. The biggest advantage of web top-up is that it does not go through the Apple App Store channel, so iPhone users can also get the official standard exchange rate of 1 RMB = 10 RedCoins, avoiding the 30% Apple tax on iOS in-app purchases.
- Official RedNote web top-up still mainly supportsWeChat Pay, Alipay and other mainland China payment methods.
- Even if Taiwan users access the web top-up page, they will get stuck at the payment step without a mainland China payment account.
- Solution: Use 2R (94LIVES) top-up service, where the platform completes the top-up via the official RedNote website channel and supports TWD payments.
2R Web Channel Top-up Process (For Taiwan Users)
The method used by 2R is essentially the official RedNote website channel: 94LIVES customer service uses your Taiwan phone number to complete RedCoin top-up on the official RedNote website. For Taiwan users, this is equivalent to a combined solution of "web top-up + TWD payment".
- Access the 2R Top-up Page: Open the 2R (RedNote Recharge) website via browser and select "RedNote RedCoin Top-up".
- Select RedCoin Tier: Choose from packages including 60 / 300 / 980 / 1,980 / 6,480 RedCoins, or customize the quantity.
- Enter Taiwan Phone Number: Input the phone number registered with your RedNote account, including country code +886.
- Select Taiwan Payment Method: Options include LINE Pay, JKOPAY, convenience store codes, bank transfers, etc.
- Complete Payment & Contact Customer Service: After successful payment, provide your order details to online customer service, who will complete the top-up via the official RedNote website channel.
- RedCoin Credited Within 1-2 Minutes: Once the top-up is completed, open the RedNote App to see your updated RedCoin balance.
Why iPhone Users Are Better Suited for the 2R Web Channel
According to publicly available data, the RedCoin exchange rates vary significantly across different RedNote channels:
| Top-up Channel | RedCoin Exchange Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Android In-App Purchase | 1 RMB = 10 RedCoins | No app store commission |
| 2R Official Website Channel (Web Version) | 1 RMB = 10 RedCoins | No App Store routing, no Apple tax |
| iOS In-App Purchase | 1 RMB ≈ 7 RedCoins | Apple charges ~30% Apple tax |
When topping up the equivalent of 1,000 TWD in RedCoins, iOS in-app purchases yield ~30% fewer RedCoins than the 2R official website channel.
iPhone users topping up 980 RedCoins via 2R can get ~420 more RedCoins compared to iOS in-app purchases (equivalent to saving 30% Apple tax). For users who regularly send tips or run Potato Strips (note promotion) campaigns, this adds up to significant savings over a year.
Web Top-up vs. 2R Top-up Comparison
- Payment Convenience: Web version requires mainland China payment methods; 2R supports TWD payments including LINE Pay, JKOPAY, convenience store codes, bank transfers, etc.
- Operation Difficulty: Web version requires users to handle SMS verification independently; 2R only requires you to provide your phone number, with customer service assisting in completion.
- Crediting Speed: Both credit within minutes; 2R usually completes the process within 1-2 minutes.
- Security: Both top up via the official RedNote website channel, ensuring the safety of funds and account information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the RedNote Web Top-up Link Entry?
You can visit xiaohongshu.com via browser, log in, then navigate to "Me" → "Wallet" → "RedCoin" to find the top-up entry, or directly access the recharge page. If no applicable payment method is available, we recommend switching to the 2R Top-up Service.
Is Web Top-up Cheaper?
The native exchange rate for web top-up is 1:10, which is indeed more cost-effective than the 1:7 rate for iOS in-app purchases. However, if Taiwan users cannot complete payment directly, they still need to use a top-up platform like 2R to settle in TWD while enjoying the same 1:10 exchange rate.
Do I Need to Download an Extra App for 2R Top-up?
No. The entire 2R top-up process is completed via browser, accessible on both mobile phones and computers, with no additional software required.
