• Registration Legitimacy: Per WeChat’s official rules, overseas enterprises can currently only register verified service accounts; subscription accounts are temporarily restricted to domestic entities. One overseas enterprise can verify a maximum of 1 service account (no multi-account operation allowed).

• Core Functions & Value:

• Message Reach: 4 mass sends per month (up to 8 articles each time), messages appear directly in users’ chat lists—open rates are over 40% higher than subscription accounts;

• Commercial Functions: Supports WeChat Pay activation, membership card configuration, and mini-program mall integration. A European luxury brand built a "content marketing - mini-program purchase" loop via its service account, generating over RMB 2 million in conversions in the first month;

• Brand Endorsement: Displays an "Overseas Enterprise Verification" badge after certification, enhancing Chinese users’ trust. An Australian health product brand served by Yuwei saw a 65% increase in customer inquiries post-certification.

• Suitable Scenarios: Ideal for overseas enterprises targeting "business services, customer management, and transaction conversion," such as cross-border e-commerce, high-end brands, and financial service institutions.

• Domestic Subsidiary/Branch Holding: Register a subscription account under a domestic affiliate, requiring the subsidiary’s business license and affiliation proof with the overseas headquarters. A U.S. tech brand registered a subscription account via its Shanghai branch, publishing daily industry news and accumulating 30,000+ followers in 6 months;

• Third-Party Compliant Agency: Entrust a qualified service provider for registration (requires a signed authorization agreement and notarization). Yuwei offers end-to-end agency services (qualification review - document notarization - registration implementation). A Southeast Asian catering brand completed subscription account registration in 15 days via this method.

• Notes: While subscription accounts allow daily mass sends, they lack WeChat Pay access; messages are filed in the "Subscription Accounts Folder" (lower reach efficiency), making them more suitable for lightweight content operations.

• Entity Documents: Color scans of company registration certificates or business licenses, translated into Chinese and notarized by a local notary public;

• Personnel Materials: 1 designated administrator (requires a Chinese mainland phone number for verification codes and an email not linked to other WeChat accounts—administrators don’t need to be company employees but must complete identity verification);

• Additional Materials: For WeChat Pay activation, a domestic corporate bank account or third-party payment institution filing is required. Yuwei assists in connecting compliant payment channels.

1. Preparations: Yuwei’s compliance team reviews material completeness, focusing on notarized document validity to avoid rejection due to flaws;

2. Official Registration: Log in to the WeChat Official Platform, select "Service Account - Overseas Enterprise," fill in the email for activation, and choose the entity’s country/region;

3. Qualification Submission & Certification: Upload notarized materials, pay the RMB 300 certification fee. Yuwei’s exclusive review channel reduces the certification cycle from 7 days to 3 days;

4. Function Configuration: After certification, assist in setting up menus, auto-replies, and payment interfaces—ensuring the account is "ready to use upon registration."

1. Mistake 1: Assuming direct subscription account registration – WeChat has strict restrictions on overseas entities’ account types; incorrect materials lead to registration failure. Yuwei once helped a UK brand recover 20 days wasted on mismatched materials;

2. Mistake 2: Ignoring document notarization – Unnotarized foreign-language materials are 100% rejected. Yuwei provides integrated "translation - notarization - verification" services, achieving a 100% notarization pass rate;

3. Mistake 3: Using overseas phone numbers for administrators – WeChat only accepts Chinese mainland numbers for verification codes. Yuwei offers temporary number solutions to avoid registration delays.

1. Dual-Team Support: "Compliance consultant + registration specialist" collaborate—consultants interpret policy details, while specialists handle implementation. A German kitchenware brand commented, "No cross-border communication needed; saves time and hassle";

2. Risk Guarantee: If registration fails due to material review errors, Yuwei fully refunds service fees and reprocesses for free (has helped 15+ clients avoid registration risks);

3. Value-Added Adaptation: Post-registration, provide "account diagnosis + function planning" (e.g., designing "mall entrance - customer service" menu logic for cross-border e-commerce brands to boost conversion efficiency).
