How to develop small program plug-ins to achieve profitability?

A applet plug-in is a functional component that can be added to the applet by developers and used directly, and can provide users with specific services.

Plug-in developers can develop plug-ins in the same way as mini-programs. In addition to using them in their own mini-programs, they can also be provided to other mini-programs for direct use.

Plugin users do not need to independently develop all services in the applet, and do not need to understand the internal logic and implementation of the plugin, and can directly use the plugin developed by others to provide users with corresponding services.

Why Mini Program Plugins are Needed

With the popularity of Mini Programs, more and more mobile developers also choose to join the mobile track of Mini Programs.

For developers with limited development skills or for small programs that are difficult to implement complex functions, or for development teams with insufficient manpower and equipment, the applet plug-in may help.For example:

1. Development and sharing to avoid repeated development

Using plug-ins in the applet can avoid repeated development by the applet developer and reduce the development workload to a certain extent.

For example: the live broadcast track is getting more and more popular, and many businesses hope that their own mini programs can have functions such as live broadcast and video. For such users, they can directly use some live broadcast plug-ins provided by third parties.Open it again independently, and directly use the plug-in to provide users with live broadcast, video and other scenarios, saving a lot of development work.

2. Lower the service threshold and realize "service sharing"

Developers with development capabilities and service qualifications can encapsulate their own services into plug-ins and provide them to other applets to achieve "service sharing".

How applet plugin developers can benefit

If you are very good at applet plug-in development, or have exported some high-quality applet plug-ins, the Finclip.com applet application market can take a look.

First of all, I will briefly introduce FinClip, a front-end container technology that enables any APP to have the ability to run small programs. Simply integrating the FinClip SDK, it can be used on iPhone, Android, Windows, Linux, macOS, Tongxin, KylinRun your applet in the application under the platform.

In addition, FinClip has also developed a small program IDE development tool. The interface is similar to the development tool of WeChat applet. It comes with debugging and real machine preview, which is easy to use.In addition, FIDE also includes various extension plug-ins and interfaces (payment, face recognition, audio and video live broadcast, login, OCR, UI components, etc.), developers can independently select the required support plug-ins to enhance the applet capabilities.

In order to continue to expand the construction of the mini-program ecosystem and allow mini-programs to access more and more functions, FinClip has released a mini-program application market, and mini-program plug-in developers can use FinClip app market is on the shelves, and the official also has traffic support for high-quality applets:

1. The high-quality mini-programs will be displayed on the details page as a high-quality recommendation

2. The high-quality mini-programs will be promoted in FinClip's full self-media channels (public account, blog, video account, station B, developer community, open source project platform)

3. Private domain user group promotion - reaching users who use FinClip in depth through EDM, community, news, etc.

4. Promotion of online and offline activities - FinClip will host or participate in developer summits independently every year, covering more than 10,000 developers

Here are some suggestions for developers who are ready to put on the shelf:

Provide sufficient interface documentation and examples to facilitate plug-in users to understand how to use the plug-in;
Pay attention to maintaining the stability of the interface between different versions of the plug-in, so that plug-in users can upgrade the plug-in smoothly;
Calculate the applet codeWhen the package size is changed, the plug-in code will also be counted, so the size of the plug-in code should be controlled.
