PassKit is happy to say that we officially support WeChat Wallet. Besides being a platform for mobile payments, which you can read more about here<\/a>, WeChat also has the capability of being used as an all out mobile wallet. Using PassKit technology, businesses can integrate their own mobile coupons as well as beacons into the WeChat mobile app. Giving you access to millions of WeChat users.<\/p>\n

Getting started with WeChat Wallet<\/h3>\n

In order to use WeChat Wallet, your business must have an official WeChat account. You can learn how to do this here<\/a>. You will also want to have a beacon that works with WeChat, but\u00a0you\u2019re in luck because our very own GemTot Beacons<\/a> integrate perfectly with WeChat Wallet.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works.<\/h4>\n

For this demo, we created a mobile coupon that will be distributed via a beacon. The process I’m about to show you is the process that a customer would go through in order to use the mobile wallet content that your business provides.
\nFirst,\u00a0go to the discover tab in WeChat.
\n\"WeChat<\/a>
\n 
\nThen select \u201cShake\u201d.\u00a0Once shake is selected make sure \u201cNearby\u201d is highlighted in green.
\n\"WeChat<\/a>
\nOnce the phone is shaken, any beacon signals will be show on the screen.\u00a0When a beacon pops up, select the beacon.
\n\"WeChat<\/a>
\nOnce a beacon is selected, WeChat will bring up the\u00a0page with the offer. The initial offer will look like the picture below.
\n\"WeChat<\/a>
\nAfter clicking redeem, the offer will look like this.
\n\"WeChat<\/a>
\nClick “Use Offer”. A QR code will then be presented that is to\u00a0be scanned by the merchant.
\n\"WeChat<\/a>
\nOnce the QR code is scanned, the offer will then turn into a “Used” pass.
\n\"WeChat<\/a>
\nIf a\u00a0coupon is saved so that it can be\u00a0redeemed later, it will be saved under the “My Coupons” tab.
\n\"WeChat<\/a>
\nThat is how simple it is to use WeChat Wallet. With PassKit, your business can easily integrate beacons and mobile wallet content directly into WeChat. The content can be anything from a coupon to a sweepstakes giveaway. The only limit is your imagination.
\nWith WeChat beacons, a business can provide an experience for the consumer. By simply scrolling down, the user can see new content(the content can even be paired with music). This allows businesses to provide an experience similar to iBeacon, while also\u00a0eliminating the need for\u00a0them to build their own app. Making WeChat Wallet different than mobile wallets from Google and Apple. The image below is an example of the user flow.
