WeChat funnels that actually convert

Published 28 September 2025 · ~7 min read · By Middle Earth Consulting AB

Strong WeChat funnels meet users where they scan, capture intent in seconds, and hand off to sales without friction. This guide shows how we design QR flows, mini-programs, and CRM automation that move people from hello to repeat purchase.

The core idea, scan to value in under 30 seconds

A good WeChat funnel starts before the scan. The QR code is a promise. The first screen must deliver on that promise quickly, then guide to a next best action, not a menu of everything. We remove choices, surface one clear step, and earn the second tap.

Common entry points and how to shape them

Offline QR, posters and packaging

  • Context specific landing, not a generic home screen
  • One screen offer, instant claim with WeChat login
  • Track location and creative, compare conversion by venue

Social and KOL posts

  • Deep link to the exact SKU, color, or event
  • Prefill contact with OAuth, ask for one missing field only
  • Time-bound incentive that matches the post content

Screen one, a focused mini-program layout

  • Header: compact logo, short benefit line, no carousel
  • Primary action: one big button, clear label, no secondary links above the fold
  • Proof: small line with rating or count, no heavy social widgets
  • Fallback: a tiny text link for details if the user is not ready to commit

Flows that convert for typical goals

Lead capture for B2B

  • Scan, pick interest, auto-assign to a tag
  • Send a short case set in chat, book a call in one tap
  • CRM push with owner, stage, next action, and deadline

Sampling for D2C

  • Scan on shelf or ad, choose flavor or color
  • Address from WeChat profile where available, confirm only missing fields
  • Follow up message with reorder link and limited voucher

Data, tags, and messages that keep the loop closed

Tag by entry source, creative, product, and intent. Use journeys that branch on engagement. Messages should be short and useful, never a blast. Each message should point to a single action and end the flow if the action is complete.

Measurement that actually guides decisions

  • Scan to first tap: did the promise match the screen
  • First tap to submit or pay: did we ask for too much data
  • Time to response: for leads, minutes are money
  • Repeat action rate: reorder or return visit within 14 days

Guardrails that prevent dropoffs

Do

  • Keep the first screen under 80 KB if possible
  • Use native pickers, not custom heavy widgets
  • Show price and delivery early for commerce

Avoid

  • Multiple CTAs on the first screen
  • Mandatory account creation before value
  • Unclear success states after submit or pay

Our build kit for fast launches

  • Event tracking by source and creative, dashboards for funnel stages
  • CRM integration for owner assignment and alerts
  • Message sequences with tests for timing and content
