- Click Test Compatibility to check whether your mini program can run in different operating systems, network environments, or mobile devices.
- After the compatibility testing is finished, click View Report to view the test results. In addition, you can still check and modify the configurations at this step.
- If you are not satisfied with the result, adjust the mini program and retest its compatibility.
- If you are satisfied with the result, apply to release the mini program directly.
Step 3: Under review
- Click Apply to Release. Check the basic information, server domain whitelist, and H5 domain whitelist. Then click Apply.
Note: Currently, only basic information can be modified during the release process.
- The release request of the mini program is sent to the Alipay+ and partner app for approval.
Step 4: Release preparation
After the request is approved, you can choose the release type based on your needs:
- Grayscale Release: Gradually increase the release ratio, from 1% to 100% (full release).
- Final Release: Fully release the mini program directly.
Grayscale release
- Select the release type as Grayscale Release and click Confirm.
- The grayscale ratio ranges from 1%-100%, with seven options to choose from. Choose any ratio within the range for grayscale release. For example, to release the mini program at 1% grayscale, select 1% and click Submit. At the initial grayscale, you can detect problems and make adjustments.
- If everything goes well, you can gradually increase the ratio to 100% to fully release the mini program. Then the whole release process is completed.

If the mini program is ready to run online during the release preparation step, select the release type as Final Release to fully release the mini program. Then the whole release process is completed.
