WeChat and mobile
Use OpenTrip in WeChat, in a mobile browser, or as an installed PWA.
WeChat Mini Program
When the WeChat shell is configured, OpenTrip opens as a Mini Program that hosts the same responsive web app inside a native page stack.
What the native shell provides:
- WeChat sign-in;
- native navigation bar, back button, and swipe-back;
- share cards and deep links into a trip or invite;
- a secure one-time handoff into the embedded web session.
What stays in the web app:
- trips home, Today, and Travelogues;
- the full trip planner (map, schedule, reservations, budget);
- the AI companion.
Open a shared trip card or invite link inside WeChat when a companion sends one. Use the native back gesture to leave a trip and return to the home hub.
Mobile browser
On a phone browser, OpenTrip uses a compact shell:
- home hub bottom navigation for Trips, Today, and Travelogues;
- planner bottom tabs for Map, Schedule, Reservations, and Budget;
- sheets for itinerary, stop detail, and the companion.
Install as a PWA
Where the browser supports installation:
- Open OpenTrip in the mobile browser.
- Use the browser’s Add to Home Screen / install action.
- Launch from the home screen icon for a fuller-screen experience.
Installed mode still talks to the same account and API. Offline behavior covers cached shell assets; treat trip edits as requiring connectivity unless the UI explicitly says a change is queued.
Permissions and notifications
Profile settings may include permission prompts used by the mobile experience. Grant only what you need (for example notifications). Declining location is fine — Today asks you to name a city or region instead.
