But the only nuance is that it asks for a Chinese phone number to complete verification. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can you do to walk around these restrictions? Let\u2019s explore it in today\u2019s reading, but first, let\u2019s find out the main functionality of this Chinese service.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_is_meituan?_the_key_offerings_features\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Meituan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?

As it usually happens, the Meituan company started off with initially offering only a service for joint ordering of goods and services to receive shared discounts. Roughly speaking, it was close to the American Groupon platform. Though, in 2013, the range of services expanded to delivery of prepared foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be more precise, this functionality is still the most demanded in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Meituan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Meituan<\/a> app<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Through the interface, you can select dishes both through suppliers or using the search bar. In the Chinese cities, there are a few hundred of various suppliers available, allowing you to order the following food options:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various fast foods, including Chinese food, cuisines of other countries, dumplings, pasta and pizza, Japanese food, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready meals such as steaks, seafood, Sichuan cuisine, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An abundance of snacks, for example, several dozen types of kebabs, shrimp, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the payment options available, you can choose from AliPay, Wechat Wallet, and a bank transfer. Besides, if paying with a digital wallet, you can also get a discount. For only registered users, the discount amount can reach half of the order price. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the food delivery option is not the only offering by the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meituan app<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-18468\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-Meituan-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"What is Meituan\" width=\"843\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-Meituan-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-Meituan-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-Meituan-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-Meituan.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_is_meituan_in_terms_of_other_features_but_food_delivery?\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Meituan<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Terms of Other Features But Food Delivery?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2015, the company merged with another Chinese giant Dianping, the leading aggregator of client reviews for various eateries, cafes, restaurants, and other places and events.

After having installed the software on your smartphone, fill out the registration form that includes a few screens. Among other things, to complete registration, the app will ask you to verify your account with a phone number. As you may already know, this is a protective measure to prevent unauthorized access to your account. After filling out the relevant field in the form, you will get a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meituan code<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in an SMS message.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are Chinese, there\u2019s nothing complicated for you: add a Chinese phone number to your account and finish registration by applying the OTP.
