Why WeChat Widget is Non-Negotiable for China

In China, WeChat isn't just a messaging app — it's how people communicate, pay, shop, book services, and live their digital lives. With 1.3 billion monthly active users, if you're not on WeChat, you don't exist to Chinese consumers.

A WeChat widget displays your WeChat QR code. Chinese visitors scan it with their phone, add you on WeChat, and the conversation begins. Unlike Western messaging apps, WeChat combines chat, payments, mini-programs, and social media in one ecosystem.

WeChat's Unique Position

  • Super app dominance: Messaging, payments, shopping, bookings all in one app
  • QR code culture: Chinese users expect to scan QR codes for everything
  • Payment integration: WeChat Pay processes billions in transactions daily
  • Business necessity: Chinese B2B and B2C both happen on WeChat

For global reach, combine WeChat with WhatsApp widget for other markets and AI chatbot for instant responses.

Essential for these markets

B2B & Manufacturing

How WeChat Widget Works

Unlike click-to-message widgets, WeChat uses QR codes. Visitors scan your WeChat QR code with their phone's camera, add you as a contact, then message you in WeChat. It's the standard way Chinese users connect with businesses.

  • Display your WeChat QR code prominently on website
  • Visitors scan with WeChat app to add you
  • Conversations happen in WeChat app
  • Accept payments through WeChat Pay (if enabled)

WeChat Widget Questions

How do I add a WeChat QR code to my website?

Sign up for Boei, upload your WeChat QR code (generated from your WeChat app), customize the widget design, then copy the HTML code to your site. Works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, and any custom website.

Do I need a WeChat Official Account or can I use personal WeChat?

Personal WeChat works for small businesses and B2B. For serious business in China, get a WeChat Official Account — it offers broadcast messaging, customer management, and payment processing. Most international businesses start with personal, upgrade to Official Account as volume grows.

Will non-Chinese visitors understand how to use WeChat?

WeChat is primarily for Chinese-speaking users. Most Western visitors won't have it installed. That's why you should offer multiple options — WeChat for Chinese customers, WhatsApp for international, contact form for everyone else.

Can I accept payments through WeChat?

Yes, if you have a WeChat Official Account with WeChat Pay enabled. Chinese customers can pay you directly through WeChat during conversations. This requires business registration in China or through a payment processor that supports WeChat Pay.

Do I need to be in China to use WeChat for business?

No, you can use WeChat from anywhere. However, WeChat Official Accounts with payment processing typically require Chinese business registration. Many international businesses use personal WeChat for communication and handle payments separately.

How is WeChat different from WhatsApp?

WeChat is a super app — messaging, payments, shopping, mini-programs, social media all integrated. WhatsApp is just messaging. Geographic focus is different too — WeChat dominates China, WhatsApp everywhere else. Chinese users don't use WhatsApp due to restrictions.

Can I show both WeChat and WhatsApp widgets?

Absolutely! Smart international strategy. Show WeChat to Chinese-speaking visitors, WhatsApp to Western audiences, Viber to Eastern Europeans. Boei's multi-channel widget makes this easy.

What if I want to automate responses?

WeChat Official Accounts support automated responses and chatbots. For your website, also add our AI chatbot that can answer common questions before visitors even scan your WeChat QR code.
