It combines the functions of a messenger, a payment system, and a social network for sharing photos, videos, and much more. WeChat’s user audience numbers more than one billion people. It is safe to say that every resident of the Middle Kingdom has this application installed.

CAPABILITIES OF WECHAT
-
Messenger
WeChat users can send messages in various formats, such as text messages, voice messages, create chats, share photos and videos, make calls and video calls, and even transfer money to each other and send gift red envelopes. By the way, you can also choose your own chat design! -
WeChat Moments
Moments is the WeChat news feed where users can share posts with their friends. Moments users can exchange images, text, short videos, articles, and music, as well as react to each other’s posts by leaving likes or comments.
-
WeChat News
In the news feed, users can see content published by subscribed accounts: for example, media organizations they follow.
-
WeChat Channels
Through Channels, WeChat users can create and share short video clips, similar to Douyin or TikTok.
-
WeChat Mini-Programs
Mini-Programs are third-party applications embedded within the WeChat interface. A WeChat MiniApp is an application with a size of up to 10 megabytes, featuring a simplified interface and a more limited set of functions compared to native apps. It exists within the WeChat ecosystem and integrates with a WeChat service account. They offer the same services as conventional applications: shopping, food delivery, transport rental, entertainment, and much more—but they exist solely within WeChat.
-
WeChat Pay
It is precisely this feature that allows users to pay for their purchases directly within WeChat itself, simply by scanning a QR code from their mobile device.
WECHAT FOR BUSINESS PROMOTION
In WeChat, not only personal but also business accounts can be registered.
Managing this type of account is an excellent tool for communicating with subscribers and clients. There are two types of business accounts:
a Subscription Account and an Official Service Account. Our team recommends that businesses register a Service Account, as it will belong to your legal entity.
| ADVANTAGES | STANDARD ACCOUNT | BUSINESS ACCOUNT |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | Available | Available |
| File Sharing | Available | Available |
| Subscription Feature | — | Available |
| Commercial Activity | — | Available |
What is the difference between a Subscription Account and an Official Service Account
A Subscription Official Account is somewhat similar to an official company page on Facebook. Its main feature is that verification is done under a Chinese company name, and the account belongs specifically to it. Users can subscribe to such an informational channel with publications and receive article digests. A Subscription Account can be used to build communication with the client and convey brand value.
An Official Service Account in WeChat provides the ability to conduct commercial activities within the account and sell goods directly through WeChat, as well as to connect customer support services. A Service Account can be registered to both a Chinese and a foreign legal entity, provided that the company’s statutory documents and basic information about the business owner are submitted.
The key difference between Subscription and Service Accounts is that a Subscription Account can publish once per day, while a Service Account can publish fpur times per month.
Subscription Accounts are more oriented towards bloggers, celebrities, and media outlets that frequently communicate something to their subscribers. A Service Account, on the other hand, acts more as a tool for landing and further work with subscribers.
