  • Needed for integration with third-party platforms or development environments.

Pro Tips for International Developers
1) Creating WeChat Official Accounts Platform requires business registration — ideally with a Mainland China business license otherwise use the oversea business license but normally will take longer to be verified.
2) If you are collaborating remotely with Chinese partner such as YIVA Digital, make sure your partner or your team in China has the right permissions to share the AppID. 
3) Ensure you store the AppID securely (treat it like a credential). Avoid sharing it in public repos or documentation.
