You can customize the features tailored to your business, such as JSAPIs, QR codes, and more. The more features added to your mini program, the better user experience you will get, thus increasing the chance that users use your mini program and keep returning for more.

For more information, see Manage Alipay+ mini programs in partner apps.

Cross-app launch

Releasing mini programs is another feature. In addition to releasing a mini program to a native app, you can choose other Alipay+ partner apps, such as Alipay China. With this capability, you can bring more customers from these apps to your own mini programs.

The launching feature brings more exposure to your mini program through the target app's strong customer base. More exposure means a wider audience and more customer visits, which also enhances customer trust and loyalty.

The maturity of a target app allows you to lower your customer acquisition costs by getting more value from the visitors and users of the app. With an optimized conversion rate, you can increase revenue per visitor, acquire more customers, and grow your business.

While most of the steps are similar to those for Alipay+ partner apps, there are minor differences in the launching capability to Alipay China. For more information, see Manage Alipay+ mini programs in Alipay China.
