WeChat Mini-Programs

WeChat Mini-Programs

Mini Programs are:

  • Apps within an App
  • Facilitate enhanced functionality within the WeChat account and can be used to build store fronts and other functionality
  • Mini Programs are generally smaller/ more streamlined than traditional apps
  • There is no download/ storage for individuals
  • They load faster than apps as they are hosted on Tencent servers
  • They are cheaper to build than native apps – 20% of the cost, 80% of the functionality

 

Regroup have been building WeChat Mini Programs since their inception. We have produced ground-breaking Mini-Programs for:

Great British Food Program

Regroup developed the WeChat store for The Great British Food program, selling artisanal British food and drink brands to mainland China.

Downing Property

Downing is a leading player in the Student property market in the UK. Regroup developed the first property booking-engine on a WeChat mini program, enabling students to book property via WeChat using WeChat Pay to place a deposit.
