WeChat console menu structure (after the 12/2025 split)
WeChat's developer-related menus are now split across two sites — mp.weixin.qq.com and developers.weixin.qq.com. Here's where to find what.
Contents
Why was it split into two?
In December 2025, a Tencent policy change moved the developer-related features to a separate console.
- mp.weixin.qq.com — OA operations (content · menus · subscriber management · verification) — the original site
- developers.weixin.qq.com — developer tools (AppSecret · server config · webhook) — added in 12/2025
Some accounts registered before 2024 can still use every menu in mp.weixin, but accounts registered after 12/2025 must use both sites together.
💡 If you're not sure which console to use, start with mp.weixin. If you can't find the menu, go to developers.weixin.
mp.weixin.qq.com — OA operations console
What you handle here:
- OA profile (name · photo · description · QR)
- Content publishing (订阅号 or 服务号 push)
- Subscriber management (remark aliases, etc.)
- Auto-reply · menu settings (when an external webhook is off)
- 微信认证 application + payment (USD 99/year renewal)
- Send statistics · performance
- Operator (运营者) changes
Visit: mp.weixin.qq.com
developers.weixin.qq.com — developer console
What you handle here:
- Check your AppID (shown in both consoles)
- Issue / reset your AppSecret (here for accounts registered after 12/2025)
- Server config (服务器配置) — Webhook URL · Token · EncodingAESKey
- Manage the IP whitelist
- API call logs · debugging
- JS-SDK domain registration
Visit: developers.weixin.qq.com

Both consoles use the same account
The good news: both consoles log in with the same WeChat account (operator). No separate registration needed.
How to log in:
- Option 1: Email + password + operator WeChat verification
- Option 2: Scan the QR with the operator's WeChat app (faster)
📍 If you can't find a menu in the mp console, check the dev console. Don't mix up the two domains.
