"You can really click on the Taobao link directly in WeChat!" Yesterday, the Hangzhou girl Xiaoshuang shared a Taobao link in her girlfriends group as before. The little sisters were surprised to find that they could click to open the webpage directly instead of using it. Copy and paste the garbled code as in the past, and then go to the browser to open it.
This "significant discovery" was a hot search.
The Qian Bao reporter actually found that in the WeChat group chat and peer-to-peer chat scenes, it is indeed possible to open Taobao and Douyin links.
The first time you click on the Taobao link, you need to log in to your account, and then you can directly open the product page.
Similarly, in QQ group chat and peer-to-peer chat scenarios, Taobao links can also be opened.
This is also the first time that WeChat and Taobao have been "interconnected" after shielding each other for 8 years.
WeChat, QQ chat
Can open Taobao link directly
On November 29th, WeChat issued the "Update Statement on the "WeChat External Link Content Management Regulations"", announcing the further interconnection plan under the guidance of the regulatory authorities: in the point-to-point chat scenario, you will be able to directly access external links, and will be in group chat The scenario tries to open the direct access function of e-commerce external links.
The follow-up plan is to develop an independent selection model to provide users with external chain management functions.
This statement is a further upgrade of WeChat's external chain specification in the context of "interconnection".
On September 17, WeChat issued the "Statement on the Adjustment of the Content Management Standards for WeChat External Links", which opened up access to external links in one-to-one chat scenarios. The Taobao and Douyin links that could not be shared on WeChat before can achieve one-click share.
At the same time, WeChat provides users with the function of independent selection and sets up an external chain complaint portal.
In the "Statement", WeChat also stated that it will continue to work with major Internet platforms to promote interconnection plans and actively cooperate with other Internet platforms to implement interconnection.
The Qianbao reporter found in actual measurement that at present, from Taobao sharing to WeChat, there is still a line of Taobao password, a line of links, and then a product introduction.
After copying to WeChat, you can directly click the blue link to open the Taobao page in either one-to-one or group chat scenes.
When you open it for the first time, the account login will appear, and you can open it directly after you log in.
Clicking afterwards will directly open the product page.
The situation with QQ is similar.
However, some people in the same WeChat group said that they still can't open it directly, and they still have to do the same as before.
The Qianbao reporter learned from Tencent that this feature is gradually covered, and some users need to wait.
Regarding this major interconnection event, some netizens said that they "witnessed history."
Taobao and WeChat blocked each other for 8 years
When will payment be interconnected
"The furthest distance in the world is that you are on Taobao, and I am on WeChat." How many steps does it take to share products on Taobao with friends on WeChat?
Some netizens have calculated that it takes 5 steps.
As the two largest Internet companies in China, Tencent and Alibaba have obviously added unnecessary trouble to users.
So far, WeChat has blocked Taobao for 8 years. It has been so long that users have become accustomed to copying and pasting a bunch of garbled codes in the browser and then opening it.
According to Xinhua News Agency, the blocking of Taobao and WeChat originated in 2013.
In July of that year, Ali announced the suspension of third-party application services related to WeChat.
In November, a WeChat user discovered that Taobao links could no longer be opened directly in WeChat.
When Taobao and WeChat's external chain gradually loosened, the outside world also began to expect both parties to go further: When will Taobao be able to use WeChat payment?
In the early morning of September 28, "Alibaba's multiple apps have been connected to WeChat Pay" once rushed to the topic of hot searches.
Alibaba has announced that its Ele.me, Youku, Damai, Koala Haigou, Shuqi and other apps have been connected to WeChat Pay, and apps such as Taote, Xianyu, and Hema have also applied for access to WeChat Pay.
Ali stated that it firmly believes that sharing, connection and openness are the foundation of a healthy digital ecology.
"We will continue to face the future together with other platforms and meet each other halfway."
In the attempt to interconnect the payment field, changes have come quietly.
On September 30, Tencent announced that WeChat Pay and UnionPay Cloud QuickPass App have officially realized mutual recognition and mutual scanning of offline barcodes. Users can scan the WeChat payment code through the Cloud QuickPass App in provincial capitals across the country to complete payment.
At the same time, the WeChat applet also gradually supports UnionPay Cloud QuickPass.
On October 2nd, Alipay stated that it has opened online scenes to UnionPay QuickPass, covering 85% of Taobao merchants in the first batch; offline, it has achieved mutual recognition of receipt code scanning with UnionPay QuickPass in multiple cities, and plans to next year Covering all cities across the country in March.
