    # Applying for WeChat Pay for a Mini Program

    # Linking a Mini Program to a Weixin Open Platform Account

    Linking a Mini Program to a Weixin Open Platform account allows the Mini Program to connect to other mobile apps, website apps, and Official Accounts of the same account. The UnionID mechanism supports using a unified user account for multiple apps and Official Accounts.

    UnionID mechanism: If a developer owns multiple mobile apps, website apps, and Official Accounts (including Mini Programs), the developer can use UnionIDs to distinguish and identify users. The UnionID of the user is unique if the mobile apps, website apps, and Official Accounts (including Mini Programs) belong to the same Weixin Open Platform account. In other words, the UnionID is the same for different apps owned by the same Weixin Open Platform account. The user's UnionID can be obtained by calling the "Obtain User Information" API.

    For more information on this API, see APIs > Open APIs > User Information in the Development documentation.

    How to link a Mini Program: Log in to the Weixin Open Platform (open.weixin.qq.com) and select Management Center > Official Account > Link Official Account.

    Note: Weixin Open Platform accounts can be linked to Mini Programs only when developer qualification certification is obtained.

    # Linking an Official Account with a Mini Program

    After linked to an official account, the Mini Program can be used in features such as article, custom menu, and message template.

    Linking rules

    1. All Official Accounts can be linked with Mini Programs.
    2. An Official Account can be linked with up to 10 Mini Programs owned by the same entity and up to 3 Mini Programs owned by different entities.
    3. A Mini Program can be linked with up to 500 Official Accounts.
    4. An Official Account can be linked with up to 13 new Mini Programs per month, and a Mini Program can be linked to up to 500 new Official Accounts per month.
