What is a WeChat Official Account?
WeChat Official Account is an official presence established by businesses, media, or individuals on the WeChat platform. Through these accounts, enterprises can build long-term relationships with over 1.3 billion WeChat users, publish content, promote their brand, and provide online services.
How to Choose: Subscription vs. Service Accounts?
Depending on your business focus, you can choose between two types of accounts:
| Feature | Subscription Account | Service Account |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Information dissemination, news updates (similar to newspapers/magazines) | Business services, user management (similar to a bank or government window) |
| Broadcast Frequency | Can broadcast 1 message per day | Can broadcast 4 messages per month (calendar month) |
| Message Display | Folded within the "Subscription Account" folder | Appears directly in the user's main chat list |
| Core Advantage | High-frequency content exposure, ideal for promotion | Powerful API capabilities, supporting WeChat Pay and advanced development |
Recommendation
- If your goal is high-frequency news updates or brand dynamics, choose a Subscription Account.
- If your goal is selling products or providing deep customer service, a Service Account is recommended.
