What is group buying?

Group buying is a promotional activity where customers team up with friends to unlock discounted prices. Merchants set the number of participants required, discount tiers, and time limits. When enough people join a group, everyone gets the deal. This creates viral sharing and helps attract new customers organically.

How does group buying work?

Here's how it works: 1. Merchants create a group buying campaign for specific products 2. Customers see the offer and can initiate a group or join an existing one 3. They invite friends via social sharing (SMS, email, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.) 4. When the required number of people join, the group is complete 5. All members get the discounted price

What types of group buying campaigns are available?

There are two types: Regular Group Buying: Any customer can participate, whether they are new or existing customers. Old Brings New: All users can initiate group buying, but only new customers (those who haven't participated in a group buying activity before) can join and purchase. This is perfect for customer acquisition campaigns.

How is this different from regular discounts?

Unlike static discounts, group buying creates social engagement and urgency. Customers become your marketers by sharing with friends. It combines social proof, scarcity (time limits), and gamification (progress tracking) to drive higher conversion rates and organic customer acquisition.
