3 🧰 What seven things can a WeiCity merchant channel help merchants do?

In the past, building a complete online business could require merchants to separately prepare an official website, online store, content platform, ordering system, and customer contact methods.

These tools were spread across different platforms, which not only added management work but also meant customers had to search across multiple pages for information.

The WeiCity merchant channel brings together brand presentation, content publishing, product sales, local discovery, online payment, and customer contact in one place.

So, what exactly can a WeiCity merchant channel help merchants do?

🌐 A merchant channel can serve as the brand's official online entry point.

Merchants can introduce their brand story, business philosophy, products and services, business hours, location, and contact information in the channel.

Customers do not need to dig through past social posts to quickly find the merchant's basic information.

Content that can be displayed includes:

• Brand name and merchant introduction

• Products and service details

• Business hours and location

• Contact details and social accounts

• Brand story and business highlights

• Latest news and important notices

A well-organized channel with complete information and clear content can help merchants build a more professional online presence.

🛍️ Merchants can build a product catalog in their channel, making it easier for customers to browse and compare different products.

Each product can include a name, description, price, and multiple images. Merchants can also set colors, sizes, or other specifications as needed.

Merchants can showcase:

• Physical products

• Digital products

• Food and beverage menus

• Professional services

• Courses and teaching content

• Photography, design, or creative works

Whatever type of business you run, clear categories help customers find the products or services they need more quickly.

💳 Once customers are interested in a product, they can select items, add them to their cart, and check out directly in the merchant channel.

Merchants can use the channel to handle:

• Product specification selection

• Product inventory management

• Discount pricing

• Pre-sale products

• Customer orders

• Online payments

When brand information, products, and payment features are all in one place, customers don't need to jump to other websites or wait for the merchant to reply one by one with prices and payment methods.

A simpler purchasing process can reduce the chances of customers abandoning their order.

🍽️ Restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and food merchants can use the Online Ordering feature.

Merchants can publish dishes, drinks, and set meals, and can also set different sizes and add-on options.

Food merchants can offer:

• Food and drink menus

• Multiple add-on options

• Different sizes and prices

• Delivery or in-store pickup

• Minimum spending amounts

• Scheduled pickup dates and times

Customers can view menus online, make selections, and pay, reducing repeated questions about dishes, prices, and pickup times.

📝 A merchant channel is not only for selling products. It can also continuously publish valuable content.

Customers usually don't make a purchase the first time they see a merchant. They may first need to learn about the brand, how a product is used, the service process, or the experiences of other customers.

Merchants can publish:

• Brand story

• Product introduction

• How-to tutorials

• Industry knowledge

• Customer stories

• New product news

• Festival promotions

• Offers and discounts

Useful content can help merchants attract customers and gradually build a sense of professionalism and trust.

Merchants can also use coupons, discounted products, and limited-time promotions to encourage customers to take action.

📍 Merchants can set their location so that nearby customers can find them more easily.

Customers can search for merchants by city, distance, or industry, and can also browse nearby offers, products, food and beverage listings, and merchant channels.

In addition to local discovery within WeiCity, merchants can also share their channel link or QR code through other promotional channels.

Good places to display a channel link or QR code include:

• Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok profiles

• WhatsApp messages and customer groups

• Digital business cards, menus, and flyers

• Store entrances and checkout counters

• Product packaging and shopping bags

• Trade shows, events, and market stalls

This way, whether customers first get to know the merchant online or offline, they can enter the same channel to review complete information.

💬 A merchant channel can become a long-term gateway for connecting with customers.

Customers can follow the merchant channel, view the latest content, learn about offers, and contact the merchant.

Merchants can also keep updating products, promotions, and brand news, giving customers a reason to come back.

If a merchant has a team, multiple administrators can be assigned to manage the channel together.

The team can divide responsibilities for:

• Brand content

• Product information

• Promotional activities

• Customer inquiries

• Orders and business information

This makes the merchant channel more than a display page; it becomes a business space that can be continuously maintained and developed.

A WeiCity merchant channel can help merchants:

• Build a brand website

• Showcase products and services

• Accept orders and online payments

• Offer food ordering and pickup scheduling

• Publish content and promote offers

• Gain local exposure and more traffic

• Connect with customers and grow long-term

Merchants do not need to enable all features at once.

You can start by completing your brand information and core content, then add Shop, Online Ordering, video courses, or Gallery features based on your type of business.

🏪 Your merchant channel helps customers learn about your brand, view your products, and take the next step.
