Have you ever experienced this while browsing nearby merchants?

🍽️ You find a restaurant that looks good, but you don't have time to go today.

☕ You see a distinctive café and want to try it on the weekend.

🛍️ You find a shop selling suitable products, but you don't need to buy anything right now.

🛠️ You find a merchant offering repair services and hope to contact them when you need them later.

🎁 You see a gift shop and want to come back around a birthday or holiday.

These merchants may suit your needs, but you don't have to buy or visit right away.

If you have to search again for a merchant's name, address, or contact details every time, it takes unnecessary extra time.

The WeiCity follow feature helps users keep merchants they are interested in, making it easy to return to their merchant channels later to view products, menus, services, and offers.

From discovering and following a merchant to browsing and contacting them again, a chance discovery can become a convenient everyday resource.

This article introduces the purpose and steps of the WeiCity follow feature, which merchants are suitable to follow, and the differences between following, inquiring, booking, and purchasing.

In daily life, we may find many merchants that interest us.

But not every discovery needs an immediate purchase.

For example:

You may discover a restaurant today but only have a chance to visit next week.

You may see a product but only need to buy it next month.

You may find a repair shop and simply want to keep it for future reference.

📍 Makes it easy to find the merchant again.

🏪 Keeps an entry point to shops you are interested in.

🛍️ Lets you review products later.

🍽️ Lets you browse the menu again.

🎟️ Lets you learn about offers the merchant publishes.

💬 Lets you get in touch further when needed.

You can follow:

Merchants you have bought from before.

Merchants you have not yet visited.

Service merchants you may need in the future.

Shops you discovered while traveling.

Suppose you are browsing nearby merchants in George Town, Penang, and find a distinctive café.

You don't have time to go today, but you would like to consider it when you get together with friends on the weekend.

If you follow the merchant first, you can later return to the channel from the related follow entry point to view the menu, business hours, and address.

📌 The value of following is not just saving shops you like, but making your next search easier.

Restaurants, cafés, and dessert shops are merchant types that are well suited to following in everyday life.

This is because dining needs keep coming up.

For example:

🍛 Weekday lunch.

🍽️ Family gatherings.

☕ Meeting friends.

🍰 Afternoon tea.

🎂 Birthday celebrations.

If you see a restaurant that interests you, you can follow it first.

When you plan a meal later, you can then check the menu and location.

Suitable for later:

Gatherings with friends.

Work breaks.

Afternoon tea.

For example:

Birthday cakes.

Bread.

Dessert gift boxes.

Makes it easy to review dishes and availability again next time.

You can return to the channel on your own to see whether there is new offer content.

Suppose you follow a bakery.

When you need to order a birthday cake next month, you can return to the merchant channel to check:

🎂 Cake styles.

📏 Dimensions.

💰 Prices.

📅 Reservation requirements.

📍 Collection Location.

📌 Following food and beverage merchants can make your next search for menus, set meals, and dining arrangements easier.

Some retail shops do not need to be visited every day, but can be useful at specific times.

For example:

🏡 Home products.

📱 Electronic accessories.

🛠️ Hardware tools.

👕 Apparel.

🎁 Gifts.

📚 Stationery.

For example:

Household daily goods.

Office supplies.

For example:

Hardware accessories.

Electronic components.

Photography equipment.

For example:

Birthday gifts.

Festive gift boxes.

Souvenirs.

For example:

Furniture.

Storage products.

Home décor.

You can visit the channel regularly to see whether products have been updated.

Suppose you find a shop that sells computer accessories.

You don't need to buy anything right now.

But if you need cables, adapters, or other accessories later, you can check the merchant's information again.

Product stock, specifications, and prices may change.

Before buying, you should still check the latest information and contact the merchant to confirm if necessary.

📌 For products you buy only occasionally, following the relevant merchants can save you time when you need to find them again.

Some services are not needed every day, but when you do need them, you usually want to find a suitable merchant quickly.

For example:

🚗 Auto repair.

❄️ Air-conditioning repair.

🔌 Appliance repair.

🏡 Home services.

💻 Computer repair.

💇 Beauty care.

You can keep repair merchants you have previously looked into or used.

For example:

Car maintenance.

Tire services.

Car air-conditioning repair.

For example:

Plumbing repair.

Cleaning services.

Home appliance repair.

For example:

Haircuts.

Beauty treatments.

Care services.

You can check the merchant's information again the next time you need it.

Suppose you once found a merchant offering air-conditioning repair services.

Although you have no repair needs right now, you can follow it for now.

When you need the service in the future, check:

🛠️ Service items.

📍 Service area.

💰 Pricing details.

📞 Contact information.

📅 Appointment arrangements.

Whether the merchant still offers the relevant items, and whether it can arrange the time you need, must be confirmed further.

📌 For services you need only occasionally, keeping a merchant entry saved in advance is also very useful.

After you find a merchant you are interested in on WeiCity, you can go to its merchant channel and check whether the page offers a follow feature.

The exact button name, location, and operation method depend on the current page.

First, find the merchant you want to follow.

You can do this through:

📍 Nearby Discovery.

📂 Industry categories.

🌏 Browse by city or region.

🔎 Search entries actually provided on the page.

View:

Merchant name.

Business introduction.

Address.

Products or services.

If the page asks you to log in, you can follow the prompts to sign in with your own account.

Find the "Follow" button or related entry provided on the page.

Follow the prompts to complete the operation.

Check whether the button or page status has been updated.

Because merchants with similar names may exist in different areas.

The same brand may also have different branches.

For example:

A café may operate in both George Town and Bukit Mertajam.

If different branches use different channels, you should confirm which one you want to keep before following.

📌 Checking the name, address, and business details before following can help you avoid following the wrong merchant.

One of the most important uses of following a merchant is that it makes it easy to return to the merchant channel.

When you need it next time, you can check the pages or entries related to following in your account.

Open:

https://wei.city/

If the feature requires login, please use the relevant account.

Following the navigation provided on the current page, go to the page related to the merchants you follow.

From the merchants you follow, find the channel you want to view.

Browse according to what you need this time:

🍽️ Menus.

🛍️ Products.

🎟️ Offers.

🛠️ Services.

📍 Address.

💬 Contact Information.

For example:

You previously found a shop that was suitable for buying office supplies.

The next time you need to buy something, you can start from the follow entry to re-enter the channel, without having to remember the merchant's name.

If the page layout is updated, the location of follow-related entries may also change.

📌 The follow feature helps you keep an entry for returning to a merchant channel. It does not guarantee that products or services will never change.

Based on its business arrangements, a merchant may publish new content in its channel.

For example:

🆕 New products.

🍽️ New menus.

🎟️ Promotions.

📅 Appointment arrangements.

📷 Photos and works.

🕒 Business notices.

For example:

A clothing store launches new styles.

A retailer adds new products.

For example:

A restaurant introduces a new lunch set.

A café adds seasonal drinks.

For example:

Discounts on specified products.

Free vouchers.

Bundle promotions.

For example:

Merchant updates appointment slots or service items.

For example:

Photography work.

Renovation cases.

Beauty works.

For example:

Business arrangements during public holidays.

Temporary closures.

Changes to business hours.

Whether update reminders are provided, and how reminders are displayed, depend on WeiCity's current features, your account settings, and device permissions.

If you have important needs, it is recommended that you actively visit the merchant channel to check.

📌 Following makes it easier to view merchant content later, but it should not be treated as a guarantee that all updates will be notified automatically.

Some users follow merchants because they want to check promotions again later.

For example:

☕ Favorite cafés.

🍽️ Restaurants you visit often.

🛍️ Retail shops where you often buy products.

💆 Care services you use regularly.

Understand what benefits the merchant offers.

Confirm whether the promotion is still valid.

Especially for merchants with multiple branches.

For example:

Minimum spend.

Designated products.

For example:

Whether you need to claim a coupon.

Whether you need to purchase in advance.

Whether an appointment is required.

Confirm whether it can be used together with other promotions.

Suppose you follow a restaurant.

Later, when you enter its merchant channel, you find that the merchant has published a new lunch promotion.

You can first check:

🍽️ Which dishes are eligible.

📅 Which dates it can be used.

💰 How much you need to spend.

🎟️ Whether you need to claim a coupon.

Promotions the merchant published in the past do not mean they can still be used now.

📌 When checking promotions from merchants you follow, you should still read the latest promotion rules.

Following a restaurant and submitting a food order are two different actions.

Mainly helps you find the merchant again later.

Check dish names, prices, and what is available.

If the merchant offers Online Ordering, you can choose according to the options actually provided on the page.

For example:

Add egg.

Add meat.

Add a drink.

For example:

Self-pickup.

Delivery method actually offered by the merchant.

Complete the required steps as instructed on the page.

Even if you have followed a restaurant, this does not mean that:

A seat has been reserved.

Dishes have been selected.

An order has been submitted.

Payment has been completed.

You follow a restaurant where you often buy lunch.

The next time you need to order food, you can re-enter the channel, check the current menu, and then follow the Online Ordering process actually provided.

📌 Following helps you find the restaurant, but ordering still requires completing the relevant selection and confirmation steps.

Following a merchant does not automatically reserve products for customers.

This is an important difference between following and buying.

Makes it easier to re-enter the channel later.

Find out product names, specifications, and prices.

Ask whether the product is still available.

Follow the purchase method actually provided on the page.

If you need a reservation, confirm with the merchant whether such arrangements are available.

Suppose you follow a bakery that sells birthday cakes.

Two weeks later, you plan to order a cake.

You can re-enter the channel and check:

🎂 Cake styles.

📏 Dimensions.

💰 Prices.

📅 Required date.

🏪 Pickup location.

Then contact the merchant or complete the order through the actual purchase process.

Even if you have followed a merchant for a long time, that does not mean the merchant has reserved a specific style for you.

📌 Following only makes it easier to find the merchant again. Actual purchases and product reservations must be confirmed separately.

If a merchant offers services that require an appointment, following does not replace booking.

For example:

💇 Hair salons.

💆 Beauty care.

📸 Photography.

🎓 Courses.

🛠️ Repair services.

Find the merchant from your followed pages.

Confirm whether the required service is offered.

Check the actual prices or contact the merchant to ask.

For example:

Saturday afternoon.

Confirm the date and time slot according to the merchant's actual process.

“Hello, I previously followed your merchant channel and would like to book a haircut this Saturday afternoon. Do you still have availability?”

Only after completing the booking as the merchant requires and receiving the corresponding confirmation can you determine whether the booking has been arranged.

📌 Following makes it easier to find the merchant before booking, but the booking must still be completed separately.

Although these actions may take place on the same merchant channel, they serve different purposes.

Purpose:

Makes it easier to find the merchant again later.

Purpose:

Confirm products, services, or other details.

Purpose:

Arrange a specific date or time slot.

Purpose:

Obtain products or services through the actual purchase process.

Purpose:

Select meals and submit an order through the actual process.

Purpose:

Enjoy specified benefits according to the promotion rules.

You discover a cake shop.

You can take different steps at different stages.

⭐ First, follow the cake shop.

🎂 Then, check the cake styles.

💬 Contact the merchant to ask about sizes.

📅 Confirm the pickup date.

🛍️ Complete the order through the actual method.

🎟️ If an offer applies, then confirm its conditions of use.

Following does not mean buying.

Inquiring does not mean booking.

Booking does not necessarily mean payment has been made.

Claiming a coupon does not necessarily mean it has been redeemed.

📌 Understanding the purpose of each action helps you avoid assuming that other arrangements have been completed just because you followed a merchant.

Sometimes we discover merchants of interest in other cities.

For example:

🍽️ Restaurants you enjoyed during a trip.

☕ Cafés you would like to visit again.

🎁 Shops selling specialty gifts.

🏨 Merchants offering related travel services.

🌷 Shops that can take orders for flowers from other locations.

Even if you won't return in the short term, you can decide whether to follow based on your own needs.

For example:

When you travel to Jinma Lun Plateau next time, check the restaurants you followed earlier again.

For example:

You may want to order specialty gifts from a shop again.

If you need to ask a question later, you can find the merchant channel again.

Even if you are not in the same city, you can still check the content published by the merchant.

Confirm the actual delivery range, fees, and purchase method with the merchant.

📌 Following is not limited by where you live day to day, and you can also use it to keep track of merchants you discover while traveling.

As your living location changes, the merchants you use regularly may also change.

For example:

Moving to a new home.

Changing workplaces.

Starting school in another area.

Living long-term in another city.

You can look for merchants near your new home again.

For example:

🍽️ Restaurants.

🛍️ Supermarkets and retail.

🛠️ Repair services.

💇 Beauty care.

You may want to follow these near your new office:

☕ Cafés.

🍱 Lunch merchants.

🖨️ Printing services.

📦 Office supply stores.

Based on your actual needs, decide whether to keep following local merchants.

For example:

You no longer need a certain type of product.

You can tidy up related follows as appropriate.

If the current page offers an unfollow function, you can use it as needed.

Following more merchants does not necessarily make things more convenient.

If you keep only the merchants that still meet your needs, it is usually easier to find what you want later.

📌 Your list of followed merchants can change with your needs, and you do not necessarily need to keep every merchant permanently.

The follow feature not only helps customers but also reminds merchants to keep providing useful content.

If customers can clearly see what a merchant offers on their first visit to the channel, they may be willing to check it again later.

Explain the main products or services offered.

This helps customers decide whether a visit is suitable for them.

Let customers understand your actual business hours.

For example:

Product name.

Specifications.

Price.

Images.

Food and beverage merchants can check their menu content regularly.

Help customers easily understand promotions.

Show products, environments, and service examples.

For example:

New arrivals.

Business hour changes.

Service updates.

So customers can ask further questions when needed.

Promptly update products, prices, and service arrangements that have changed.

After following a merchant, customers may return after a few weeks or months.

If information has not been updated for a long time, customers may be unable to tell whether it is still valid.

A merchant having followers does not mean those users will necessarily make a purchase.

📌 The key to a merchant channel is letting customers find clear, authentic, and useful information every time they return.

The merchant follow feature mainly helps users find channels of interest again within WeiCity.

Google SEO, on the other hand, concerns how search engines discover, understand, and display web pages.

The two are not the same thing.

Main uses:

Makes it easier to visit again.

Keeps track of merchants of interest.

Lets users proactively check merchant content.

Mainly involves:

Web page content.

Titles.

Regional information.

Product and service descriptions.

Website technical settings.

For example:

🏪 Use a clear merchant name.

📍 Provide an accurate address.

🛍️ Clearly state product names and specifications.

🍽️ Organize menu content.

🎟️ Explain offer rules.

📷 Use authentic images.

You cannot assume that an increase in followers will necessarily improve your Google search ranking.

Search engine rankings are affected by many factors.

📌 The follow feature helps users find merchants again, while clear web content helps users and search engines understand the business.

If the current merchant channel offers a follow feature, you can follow the instructions on the page.

There is no need to treat following and purchasing as the same action.

You can follow merchants that interest you, based on the follow features actually available.

If the page asks you to log in, please use your account as instructed.

You can check the pages or entry points related to following in your account.

Not necessarily. It depends on the platform's current features and notification settings.

If the merchant has published product information, you can return to the channel to view it.

If the merchant has published a menu, you can browse it on the actual page.

Do not assume this. To claim coupons, follow the actual promotion process.

No.

No.

You can follow based on the follow features actually provided on the current page.

If the current page offers an unfollow option, you can follow the on-screen instructions.

This depends on the actual settings of the merchant channel. Please confirm the specific channel before following.

Refer to the information the merchant's current page actually displays.

No guarantee can be made. Whether exclusive offers are available depends on the merchant's actual promotion arrangements.

This cannot be judged directly that way. When choosing a merchant, you should still consider the actual products, services, and your own needs.

📌 The main value of following is making it easier to find a merchant again, not replacing purchasing, booking, or other actions.

In daily life, we keep discovering new merchants.

Some are right for an immediate visit.

Some may only be needed later.

And some are worth keeping for the long term as references for finding products or services in the future.

For example:

🍽️ A restaurant you like: Check the menu again the next time you gather for a meal.

☕ A café with a distinctive character: Plan a visit for the weekend.

🛍️ A suitable retail store: Look at the products again when you need to buy something.

🛠️ A repair service merchant: Easy to contact when you need it in the future.

🌷 A flower and gift merchant: Browse again before a holiday or birthday.

💇 A beauty and care merchant: Visit the channel again the next time you book an appointment.

🏡 A neighborhood merchant: Easier to find when you need it in daily life.

On WeiCity, you can start getting to know merchants through Nearby and Discover, then keep the channels that interest you using the follow features provided on the page.

Learn which restaurants, shops, and services are around you.

View merchant introductions, products, menus, and images.

Makes it easier to return to the channel later.

Learn about products, menus, offers, and announcements.

For example:

📞 Contact us for consultation.

🛍️ Buy a product.

🍽️ Choose a meal.

📅 Booking services.

📍 Plan a visit in store.

WeiCity hopes to help users move from "discovering a merchant" to "being able to easily find it again when needed in the future."

For customers, following can help keep merchants that suit their daily needs within reach.

For merchants, consistently providing clear, accurate, and useful content makes it easier for customers to learn about the latest products and services when they revisit the channel.

You do not need to buy immediately every time you discover a merchant, nor search again every time you have a need.

Discover first, then follow; when you have a need, come back to learn more and take action.

Let one discovery gradually become a merchant resource that is convenient to use in your daily life.

Specific functions for following, unfollowing, follow lists, update reminders, product purchases, Online Ordering, and reservations are subject to WeiCity's current actual pages and merchant settings.
