Trying to integrate wechat service so if I need to open a link in my mobile site webpage in Wechat app what will be the proper Scheme prefix for that.

Already gone through these links How do I link to wechat from a webpage? and https://www.zhihu.com/question/30616809?sort=created so WeChat does have a URI scheme that can be used from a browser. The scheme prefix is weixin://.

But not sure which one of these can be used. I tried weixin://Dl/businessWebview/link/url=google.com it opened we chat app but then shows error - 'Unable to redirect'

There's no way to start wechat app using an URL or from an external web browser.

weixin:// is used by wechat only inside its web browser, for example to start the payment process and this type of URL's are meaningless outside of wechat.
