Xiaohongshu explicitly prohibits users from diverting traffic to WeChat and other off-site platforms, but this is a common way to maximize the business value on the Xiaohongshu platform. Do take note to avoid sensitive words.

The e-commerce platforms with the highest penetration rates are Taobao, JD.com and Pinduoduo. Other e-commerce platforms have lower user penetration, and a user is unlikely to download an e-commerce app specifically to buy something, thus it is easier to direct the potential buyers to the e-commerce platform that he/ she commonly uses to buy. In terms of user size, Taobao has the highest users while JD.com has the highest number of daily users. On the other hand, Pinduoduo is positioned as a value for money site, with a premium that is usually lower than Taobao and JD.com. 

Internet products, mobile games, etc. do not need traffic conversion to purchase, instead these products need to generate discussion or interest. Users who are interested will search for it through mobile app shops or Baidu searches. The core data sought by such products is the number of downloads; the higher the number of downloads, the greater the commercial value.
