Product Sourcing
We source from 1688, Taobao, Weidian, Alibaba and 40+ other China marketplaces — not just one platform — so you get the best-matching product at the best price, backed by a sourcing team with 10+ years of experience.
Full-platform sourcing
We Don't Just Source From 1688
Simply submit a request and let our professional sourcing team — 10+ years in the industry — find products that match your needs, with full visibility into pricing, estimated logistics cost and lead time before you commit. We search across every major China marketplace, not a single one, so you're not stuck if the best supplier for your product happens to be somewhere other than 1688.
China's largest B2B factory-direct marketplace — our default source for the best pricing.
Huge consumer catalog — great for trending and niche products factories don't list on 1688.
Boutique and trend-led sellers — useful for fast-moving fashion and viral products.
International-facing B2B marketplace — useful for larger MOQ or export-ready suppliers.
We also pull from Chinagoods, Tmall, JD.com and other marketplaces when a product is a better fit there — you're never locked to one platform.
How Sourcing Works
Submit & Source
Tell us what you need, or find it yourself with the free Chrome extension. Our sourcing team — 10+ years in the industry — searches 1688, Taobao, Weidian, Alibaba and more for the best-matching, best-priced factories.
We Purchase & Inspect
We place the order, receive it in our warehouse, and inspect every SKU and quantity against a checklist before it moves on.
Pack & Ship
Products are weighed, measured and packed to your spec, then shipped out once payment is confirmed.
Deliver & Rate
You receive your parcel and give us feedback — every step is tracked so you always know where your order is.
Image & Keyword Search — 1M+ Products
Search with any picture or keywords you already have. We match against 40+ China marketplaces — including 1688, Taobao, Weidian, Alibaba, Chinagoods, Tmall and JD.com — then let you pick the listing from the supplier with the best price, MOQ and lead time for that exact product.

Find the Factory Price — From Any Website
Our free Chrome extension, 1688 Dropshipping Pro, works on any website — Amazon, Pinterest, AliExpress, or a competitor's store. See a product you like? Search it by image right from that page, and the extension finds the matching listing back at the 1688 source factory — at the original factory price, no markup layers in between.
Right-click any product photo on Amazon, Pinterest, AliExpress or any competitor site to search it.
Matches back to the original 1688 factory listing, not a reseller marked up in between.
Know the actual production cost before you commit to sourcing or pricing a product.
No paid tier required — free-plan customers get full access to this feature.
Quality Inspection & Global Fulfillment
When products arrive at our warehouse, every SKU quantity is checked, then the batch goes through careful quality inspection against a checklist before it's cleared to ship. From there, flexible warehousing and logistics plans get orders moving fast — streamlining operations, cutting costs, and improving delivery times so you can focus on growing the business instead of chasing suppliers.
