How to use Laiye?
After talking with with Genius222, the company is currently developing an APP, but you can already benefit from the services of your virtual concierge, using the Laiye Wechat account (scan the QR code to access it).
I tried the service to buy something on Taobao, and here you have the screen shoots of the conservation I had with Genius. They help you for FREE to buy something on Taobao and then can even ask the fapio in case the reseller is able to provide it!
Once you transfer the amount with your Wechat wallet, they will order the goods on Taoabo!
