The two have transformed their flagship mobile apps, WeChat as a messaging service and Alipay Wallet a mobile payment tool, with innovative functions and features transforming both apps in each major update. At Tencent’s annual partner conference last week, Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital discussed how their WeChat public account became what it is today. The Shanghai hospital started with a feature for booking appointments on their WeChat public account that has solved the problem of long queues early every morning. This technology is new, and traditional business may not know how to integrate with WeChat or Alipay Wallet, so third-party software developers or marketing agents have emerged. The convenience brought by mobile solutions to both users and businesses is a good thing, whether WeChat or Alipay Wallet eventually come to dominate the market.
