WeChat Channels POI Group-Buy Monetization

Problem

Local merchants setting up WeChat POI group-buy offers often get stuck on onboarding paths, category eligibility, location service APIs, and WeChat Channels ad-boost configuration. Different trademark states trigger materially different documentation flows; a category can exist in data while still being unsupported; and API fields such as access_token, poi_id, and task_id are easy to mix up during integration.

How It Works

The skill routes questions to the relevant sources: onboarding overviews, single-store or chain flows, categories.json, location API references, and ad-boost documentation. Key checks include:
- Trademark status: unregistered-trademark merchants use the 17-field single-store path with per-store face verification, storefront photos, and business licenses; registered-trademark brands use the 13-field chain path and batch claims after brand review.
- Category status: it separates supported, temporarily unsupported, and pending-confirmation categories, avoiding overpromises on high-risk categories such as beauty services, medical care, and massage/foot services.
- API integration: it first checks permission set 195, then covers claim links, status queries, obtaining poi_id, service definitions, and authorization review.
- WeChat Channels boosting: it highlights the required product, carrier, and creative settings, which must all be configured correctly.

Boundaries

It provides operational checklists, material lists, and common error-code guidance, such as 10220009 meaning the location is already claimed. It does not replace official platform review or generate qualification documents; sensitive credentials and IDs are masked or represented with placeholders, and final eligibility follows the latest WeChat rules.
