How Do I Enter 1688 Favorites?
Saving products to your 1688 Favorites is a simple way to keep track of items you're considering while you compare suppliers, prices, and product options. Here's how to access it on both desktop and mobile.
On Desktop
Log in to your 1688 account, then navigate to "My Ali" and find the "Favorites" section. From there you can view and manage the products or suppliers you've previously saved.
On Mobile
- Open the 1688 app and tap "My" in the lower-right corner of the main screen.
- If you're viewing the seller interface (blue background), tap "Switch to Buyer" in the upper-right corner first.
- Once in the buyer view, tap "Favorites" to see your saved items.
Why Favorites Matter for Dropshippers
When you're evaluating multiple suppliers for the same product — comparing price, minimum order quantity, and shipping terms — Favorites lets you build a shortlist without losing track of listings across 1688's huge catalog. It's a small habit that pays off once you're managing sourcing for more than a handful of SKUs, especially if you revisit suppliers periodically to check for price changes or restocks.
If you're working with a sourcing agent, they can also help maintain a running shortlist of vetted 1688 suppliers on your behalf, saving you the step of managing favorites manually as your product catalog grows.
