In recent years, the essential roles of digital payment have gradually emerged. However, current research on adoption models rarely incorporates outcomes payment, and it also gives less consideration to rural residents. Considering these two issues as a gap, this article establishes unified use credit availability model by extending UTAUT2 framework in aspects applying China’s The first extension is add an outcome variable use. second factors important farmers, perceived riskiness innovativeness, constructs. Structural equation modeling employed analyze data collected from nearly 500 Chinese results show that almost 90% residents used payment. only low proportion for many purposes or frequently. Rural residents’ can increase availability. Performance expectancy, effort social influence, price value, innovativeness significantly positively affect intention behavior, thereby indirectly improving risk does not influence adoption, possibly due effective protective behaviors. addition indirect effect, has direct impact JEL Classification: M15, G21.

After adjusting sample period, changing policy implementation time point, excluding other interference, Propensity Score Matching-Difference-in-Differences (PSM-DID), model was still robust. (2) mechanism test found that would improves through three mechanisms: adoption new agricultural technology, land transfer, leisure time. (3) In terms heterogeneity analysis, based region type, education level, marital public supporting system, can enhance in western region, those with low married people more system. This study suggests continued promotion infrastructure, focus level regions, narrow “digital divide” between different groups, improve facilities backward areas, so as further groups.
