Which is why it's great to use for advertising. Unfortunately, not too many buy things via we chat yet. Hopefully that will change but for now TMall is where things get bought. It's just a shame that Tencent and Alibaba don't allow click thru links to each other's platforms.
Right now both are necessary for a strong e commerce presence on the mainland.
