FAQ
Zalo Mini App FAQ
Can't find your question? Call our hotline 0932 092 002 or message 123Website's Zalo OA for an immediate reply.
What is a Zalo Mini App, and how does it differ from Zalo OA?
Zalo OA is your business's official account on Zalo, used to message and publish posts for followers. A Zalo Mini App is a small app running inside Zalo, connected to that OA. Customers can browse products, order, book and earn points without installing another app. You need an OA before creating a Mini App.
How much does Zalo Mini App development cost?
Basic starts at VND 10 million excluding VAT, with interface design, products and shopping, booking, promo codes, loyalty points and basic Zalo notifications. Advanced and Custom are quoted by required features, such as payments, shipping, referral partners and Zalo ZNS. Call 0932 092 002 for a detailed quote.
How long until my Mini App is live on Zalo?
There are two stages: our design, development and testing, followed by Zalo's review. Development time depends on the package and features; we specify it when agreeing on scope. Zalo determines review time. To keep things moving, prepare your Zalo OA, logo, content and product images before starting, and confirm the test version promptly.
What do I need to prepare for a Mini App?
You need a business Zalo OA, logo, Mini App name, introductory content, product or service lists and images, and a contact person to test and confirm the test version. Your Zalo OA requires verification with a business registration certificate. Zalo may request further documents during review; we will let you know what to provide. If you have no OA, we guide registration.
Do I need a Mini App if I already have a website?
Your website helps customers find you on Google and learn about your brand. A Mini App lets existing customers order, book, earn points and receive notifications inside Zalo. The channels complement each other. Basic and Advanced include an integrated website; we advise on connecting to your existing site.
Can I update products myself after handover?
Yes. The Mini App has a simple admin system for adding products, banners and promotions yourself. We show you how at handover. For new features or integrations such as CRM, ERP or ZaloPay, contact us for advice and a separate quote.
