Buyer portal major redesign · H5 scan support
The Jenny buyer portal is a tool for enterprise customers to browse samples, make selections, and send inquiries. This major redesign accomplishes three things:
- Complete rebuild: comprehensive upgrade of UI / workflow / performance
- H5 scan support: it can now be opened in non-WeChat contexts (phone system camera, WhatsApp, Alipay, QQ, Line, Telegram, overseas browsers, and more)
- Multilingual support: overseas customers can read it and send inquiries in their local language
Redesign highlights
1. Brand-new architecture and interface
- Rebuilt on a brand-new front-end framework, with faster first-screen loading and smoother list scrolling
- Product cards and sample detail pages have a fully updated UI, better suited to mobile browsing habits
- Image lazy-loading and smart thumbnail switching mean smooth browsing even on weak networks
2. Scan straight to sample details
- Scan a sample label or share card sent by a salesperson to open the corresponding sample detail directly
- Sample detail pages are viewable without logging in, so the buyer's browsing isn't interrupted
- A large image at the top + basic information (composition/width/weight/price) + a color card grid below (multiple color SKUs at a glance)
- An "Add to selection cart" button at the bottom; tapping it brings up continuous scanning / color selection
3. Selection cart (home tab)
- The buyer lands on the "selection cart" as soon as they enter the Mini-Program home page
- Put samples you like into the selection cart first; they're still kept after you close and reopen
- Different colors / specifications of the same sample are added independently
- Continuous scanning mode: after scanning one hang tag you can scan the next right away, greatly improving efficiency
- The selection cart supports select-all, quantity changes, and batch deletion
- Submit in one tap → a "selection order" is generated automatically, and the enterprise side is notified in real time
4. Favorites + browsing history
The "My" page centrally manages all buyer activity:
- Stats at the top: three counts — favorited companies / favorited samples / favorited documents
- Favorited companies: favorite suppliers of interest in one tap, and go straight back into the store to see new items next time
- Favorited samples: favorite fabrics you fancy in one tap for easy review
- Favorited documents: quotations / sample dispatch orders / sales orders / purchase orders sent by salespeople can also be favorited
- Browsing history: samples / documents recently viewed are recorded automatically, shown as relative times, with long-press to delete and one-tap clear all
- 3 tabs at the bottom: selection cart / selection orders / My
5. Inquiry / quotation loop
- Buyers can start an inquiry directly on the sample detail page
- The enterprise's salesperson is notified → quotes on the PC or in the app
- Once the quotation comes back, the buyer is notified in the Mini-Program and can view the full quotation details
- The entire process stays within the Mini-Program
6. View documents sent by salespeople
Whatever document a salesperson shares, the buyer can open it and see the full content:
- Quotation: includes validity period, total amount, currency, minimum order quantity
- Sample dispatch order: includes logistics tracking, copy order number
- Sales order: includes shipping progress bar, status tag
- Purchase order: includes receiving progress
Dual-channel support: WeChat Mini-Program + browser H5
WeChat users
- Scan a sample label → automatically open the Jenny WeChat Mini-Program "Jenny Software"
- The most complete experience: supports one-tap WeChat authorized login, WeChat account login, and message push
Non-WeChat users (H5 scan)
The old QR code can now be opened in almost any phone environment:
| Scenario | Available? |
|---|---|
| WeChat Scan | ✅ → Mini-Program |
| Phone system camera | ✅ → H5 |
| WhatsApp / Telegram / Line / Messenger | ✅ → H5 |
| Alipay / QQ / UC / Douyin / Xiaohongshu | ✅ → H5 |
| Safari / Chrome / Edge / Firefox | ✅ → H5 |
| Links in email / SMS | ✅ → H5 |
H5 likewise supports: browsing sample details, adding to the selection cart, starting an inquiry, and favoriting. No app installation needed — just scan or tap the link to use it.
Overseas customers can scan too
Overseas mainstream messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Line, and Messenger all open links in a browser engine, so they automatically jump to the H5 web version, an experience just as smooth as Alipay or QQ in China.
One QR code, automatic adaptation
- The salesperson only needs to print one kind of sample label, with no need to prepare two sets for WeChat users and overseas users
- After scanning, the system automatically detects the user's environment and routes to the right version
- The old QR code remains valid — no need to reprint
Why this matters
Every scan scenario can open the sample page directly — WeChat scans into the Mini-Program, the camera/overseas apps scan into H5. One kind of label from the salesperson covers all customers, and overseas customers don't have to switch network environments.
Multilingual support (overseas-friendly)
The buyer portal supports switching between Chinese / English and other languages, making it convenient for overseas customers:
- The browser H5 automatically selects the interface language based on the system language
- Users can also switch the interface language manually
- Sample details, selection cart, documents, favorites, inquiries, and other features are all localized throughout
An overseas customer in their own country scans a sample label via WhatsApp → automatically jumps to H5 → sees a local-language interface → sends an inquiry right back. The entire process depends on neither WeChat nor Chinese.
Login strategy
