the Alibaba Group. Established in 1999, it is a popular marketplace for global businesses wanting to source products directly from China.<\/p><p>When comparing prices on other B2B platforms in the Chinese market, the products on 1688.com could be anywhere from 4% to 15%* lower in most instances and up to 40% in other cases. One of the biggest advantages of the platform is its ability to take small orders of as little as two pieces.<\/p><p>*Numbers provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/1688.com\">1688<\/a> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-baa9d61 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"baa9d61\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6eabf0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c6eabf0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.15.0 - 02-08-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/20240419074635174.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-26897\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/20240419074635174.png 936w, https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/20240419074635174-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/20240419074635174-768x505.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e6df49 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"4e6df49\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-944de98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"944de98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Why source products from 1688?<\/h4><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Cost-effective and transparent pricing<\/h5><p>Since most suppliers on 1688.com are factory owners and wholesalers, buyers can access products at competitive prices. Furthermore, strong competition and tiered pricing mean the more units you purchase, the cheaper the unit price becomes.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Low minimum order quantity<\/h5><p>On 1688, many sellers allow buyers to purchase one or two pieces per order and the minimum order quantities are generally low. It helps businesses evaluate product quality before placing a large order. At the same time, it can help smaller businesses that may not have big budgets to purchase limited product quantities as they slow scale their operations.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Reliable suppliers<\/h5><p>Suppliers on 1688.com are required to have a Chinese business license to showcase their reliability in the Chinese market. Each supplier provides details about their company\u2019s date of incorporation, registered capital, and company address on their store page. Buyers can also procure from 1688.com\u2019s cross-border site, global.1688.com, which exclusively promotes reliable suppliers selling trending products in the global marketplace.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Vast variety of products<\/h5><p>As the largest local wholesale platform in China with dozens of categories listed, 1688.com offers countless options for products and suppliers. Most factories in China are listed on 1688.com, giving buyers various choices.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Original sources<\/h5><p>Buyers get direct access to manufacturers and suppliers based in China. They can contact sellers directly, communicate their exact requirements, discuss the possibility of customizing orders, and even negotiate prices. All of this directly leads to stronger business relationships based on trust. Moreover, directly working with manufacturers without any middlemen ensures businesses get the best prices for the products they are sourcing.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4>Types of sellers on 1688<\/h4><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Wholesalers<\/h5><p>Wholesalers make up the bulk of shops on 1688.com. Most wholesalers have a minimum order quantity of only a few pieces, and there is also a low minimum spending amount. Wholesalers usually hold more inventory and stock than factories.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Factories and manufacturers<\/h5><p>Factories specialize in receiving production orders, with the minimum order quantity starting at 1,000 pieces in some cases. There is a \u2018Find a Factory\u2019 option in the 1688 app, which buyers can use to find factories in different categories. Factories do not keep much inventory but make products based on orders.<\/p><p>The biggest benefit of working with factory owners and manufacturers directly is bypassing the middleman and talking directly with them. You can also save costs since you will be placing bulk orders.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Brand owners<\/h5><p>Similar to wholesalers, brand owners also offer a low minimum order quantity. However, while wholesalers often sell white-label goods, branded stores on 1688.com operate a storefront with their brand name and logo.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Sourcing agents or virtual factories<\/h5><p>Similar to a middleman, sourcing agents help buyers find a reliable supplier, negotiate the best price, assist with documentation, coordinate with the factory, or oversee the production to ensure it aligns with the required specifications. As sourcing agents, they don\u2019t hold stock. Instead, they help secure products within the promised lead time.<\/p><p>For those with little cross-border business experience or who are overwhelmed by the language barrier, sourcing agents can assist with language translations, timely delivery of your products, and quality control. Agents generally charge a commission between one and three percent.<\/p><p>Some disadvantages of using a sourcing agent include not having a direct line to your supplier and creating communication lags, especially if your agent becomes unavailable. You also don\u2019t have any direct business relationship with your supplier.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4>Getting started on 1688<\/h4><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Opening an account on 1688<\/h5><p>Step 1: To register on 1688, you must first create an account.

You can also convert other available currency balances to CNH currency account.<\/p><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/portal.worldfirst.com\/register?region=NZ\">Streamline payments with WorldFirst<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h4>Finding products and suppliers on 1688<\/h4><h5>Searching products<\/h5><p>Searching for products on 1688 can seem daunting with the marketplace encompassing over 50 industries and 1700 subcategories. There\u2019s no lack of products to search for. Top categories include fashion, accessories, sports equipment, home decoration, office supplies, automobile supplies, food &amp; beverage, and raw materials.<\/p><p>Since the entire 1688 website is in Chinese, there are two ways to search for your desired products.<\/p><p>1. Use Google Translate<\/p><p>You can use Google Translate to convert the desired product name from English to Chinese and copy\/paste the Chinese word into the search bar to find similar product listings. Alternatively, you can also use Google Translate to convert the entire website into English and then search into the categories available in 1688.<\/p><p>2. Search by image<\/p><p>A quick way to find the products on 1688 is by conducting an image search. If you have images of the products you want to source, you can use the image search feature on the website. Start by clicking on the camera icon visible on the right side of the search bar and upload the product images.<\/p><p>The website will then display all the product listings that match the uploaded image.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5>Finding reliable suppliers<\/h5><p>The product quality you receive will depend significantly on the suppliers you choose, so it is very important to find reliable suppliers.<\/p><p>To ensure the reliability of a new supplier, consider the following factors:<\/p><ul><li>Years of operation: You can check how many years the supplier has listed products on 1688.<\/li><li>Response rate: It indicates how quickly you can expect the supplier to respond to your queries.<\/li><li>Delivery time: The metric indicates how fast the supplier can dispatch products based on past performance.<\/li><\/ul><p>Some suppliers can dispatch within 24 hours of the order being placed. It is indicated by the label checkbox 24\u2f29\u65f6\u53d1\u8d27. However, it is not available for cross-border delivery.\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Trustworthiness: The label is only available to suppliers who have achieved a certain standard in quality and timely delivery (You can tick the checkbox \u5b9e\u2f12\u5546\u5bb6 to view suppliers that have the trustworthiness label)<\/li><li>Location: You can filter suppliers based on their proximity to your logistics provider to save shipping costs and delivery time. (It is represented by the \u6240\u5728\u5730\u533a label)<\/li><li>Repurchase rate: It is a very important metric that indicates how many buyers make repeat orders with the seller after their first purchase. Even if the supplier has many years of experience, a low repurchase rate could indicate issues with product quality.<\/li><li>Minimum order quantity (MOQ): MOQ indicates the smallest number of products a supplier can make for any given order. Each supplier sets their MOQ based on their order capabilities. Setting an MOQ helps suppliers ensure they can earn profits even on small orders.<\/li><\/ul><p>Small quantity orders can be expensive on 1688. If possible, consider larger orders to get the most value and save on shipping costs.<\/p><p>In-depth inspection: You can check on factory details of a supplier by going to their company profile and clicking on \u5de5\u5382\u6863\u6848 label, which translates to factory files. You can find a lot of information on the supplier factory, including the number of employees, fulfillment rate, factory address, contact information, list of products manufactured in the factory, and pictures of the factory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b860f65 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"b860f65\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05ce371 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"05ce371\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/20240419080328602.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-26906\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/20240419080328602.png 936w, https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/20240419080328602-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.marmot-cloud.com\/worldfirst\/sites\/17\/2024\/04\/20240419080328602-768x356.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7485ab0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"7485ab0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c596c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c596c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Communicating with suppliers<\/h5><p>Communication with suppliers is one of the most important yet difficult aspects of purchasing products on 1688.<\/p><p>1688 allows you to communicate directly with factories and wholesalers. You can message suppliers through their shop profile using Aliwangwang, the official chat tool of 1688.com. The majority of suppliers will also provide the option of chatting via WeChat.

Without one, you will have to rely on digital translation tools or hire a trusted translator.<\/p><p>Some questions you can ask suppliers include:<\/p><ul><li>Can products be sent outside of China, or are they for domestic sale only?<\/li><li>What is the return policy?<\/li><li>What is the delivery timeframe?<\/li><li>What is the inventory and\/or manufacturing timeframe?<\/li><li>Product certifications (if your product requires these)<\/li><\/ul><p>Note: You can negotiate prices and terms with your supplier.
