# Official Flagship Mini Program Product Description
# I. Function Overview
An official flagship Mini Program refers to a high-quality enterprise Mini Program launched and operated under a proprietary brand (with an “R” or “TM” mark) or with authorization from the trademark owner. It is officially recognized by WeChat, enabling users to easily identify such programs.

# II. Application Requirements
To apply for the official flagship status, the following three criteria must be met:
- Possession of direct-operated or authorized trademark rights;
- Activation of the transaction protection service;
- Setting up a “Mini Program Order Center” page.
Notes:
- The brand must be unique, with only one store per secondary category allowed.
- Unverified Mini Programs cannot use names like “Official Flagship” or “Flagship”.
- These are merely application requirements; final approval is subject to platform review. (For review criteria, see point IV.)
# III. Application Process

Set Up Mini Program Order Center Go to Mini Program Management Backend → Settings → Service Content Declaration → Set the path for the Mini Program Order Center.
