How much does it cost to develop a self-service group buying app?

Self-service group buying mini program, how much does it cost to develop a group buying mini program? Let’s follow Dongguan Feng Chao editor to take a look!

How much does it cost to develop a group buying mini program? The price will definitely be different based on the difficulty, and the prices in different industries are also different. The development of a mini program is not a matter of overnight. Depending on the difficulty of the requirements, the development cycle is 1 to 3 months, and this cycle does not include adding new functions. Currently, WeChat officially opens new functions to mini-programs basically every week. It is highly likely that merchants will need to adjust their requirements temporarily, which means that the development cycle will be extended indefinitely. We do not consider adding new features or UI design, and completely imitate the successful mini-program interfaces of others. Taking normal development as an example, the initial cost of developing a mini-program is approximately 20,000 to 60,000 yuan.

Is it true that once a mini program is developed, it’s a one-time thing? Obviously not!
For an Internet product, normal operation and maintenance are essential, as well as functional updates. That is to say, the developer we hired earlier with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, we need to keep him/her on, with a fixed expense of 20,000 yuan per month. Therefore, if merchants want to develop their own mini-programs, the cost of 240,000 yuan a year is inevitable.
After the mini program is launched, it will require subsequent upgrades and maintenance, which will also cost a bit.
When choosing a technical service provider, merchants need to pay attention to two points to avoid being deceived and losing more than they gain.
First of all, anyone who calls or invites businesses to participate in conferences under the official name of Tencent is basically a scammer. The only offline activity currently held by Tencent is WeChat Open Class, and all registrations are free online directly through the official WeChat public account of WeChat Open Class. The content of open courses is also to popularize knowledge rather than sell products.
Secondly, anyone who emphasizes that the mini-programs they sell are permanent versions are basically scammers. WeChat officials are currently updating the functions of mini-programs every week. What does the permanent version mean? This means that this is a one-time deal. No matter what you buy it now, it will remain the same ten years later (if the mini program you bought still exists ten years later). Any function updated by WeChat will no longer have anything to do with you.

Scams are everywhere, merchants should be careful
It is completely understandable that merchants want to quickly have their own mini-programs and catch up with this wave of trends. However, we must choose the development method rationally, calmly select the correct technical service provider, and be careful not to be deceived. If you are cheated of money, you can still make money. If you are cheated of money, you not only waste time on a completely useless product, but also miss the trend that may bring about a qualitative change in your business. This is very serious.
