That's definitely not true. WeChat has a bunch of ecommerce stuff built in among other features. You can pay for stuff on WeChat and there are stores. It even has translation built in to facilitate buying and selling between people from different countries.
I think there are also apps and other stuff there too. It's more like a chat app that became an ecommerce and mini-app platform.
- sho_hn 6y agoIt's similar with KakaoTalk in Korea, which now also has a payment system in addition to acting as a regular bank, and allows you to buy various things including, say, hairdresser appointments. 93% smartphone market share.
- robjan 6y agoAlso Line, which is also used in many parts of East Asia.
- verst 6y agoKakao has a separate app for everything. Quite different from WeChat. KakaoTalk, KakaoTaxi, KakaoPay etc etc I wouldn't say that those are all extremely well integrated with each other.
- sho_hn 6y agoSorta both - the hairdresser booking and other commerce is in the main messenger app.
- lvturner 6y agoFacebook also has all of this, though I conceed that it doesn't have a built in user to user payments solution... Yet.
