What to know about 1688 imports
Chinese to English
Variant option names like colour and size are fetched in English, and by default the title and description are rewritten by AI.
Yuan to your currency
1688 prices are in CNY. Tick "Convert supplier prices to your store currency" in the plugin to convert them with daily rates before your markup.
You still need an agent to buy
1688 is a domestic Chinese marketplace, so ordering and shipping abroad usually goes through an agent or forwarder. The plugin covers the listing, not the order.
Every import also gets
- Variable products with attributes, and a price, SKU and image on each variation where the supplier has one.
- The SEO title, meta description and focus keyword written to Yoast or RankMath.
- The brand saved as an attribute, and to Brands when your store has it.
- No duplicates: importing the same link again updates the product it made.
- Images that download directly, with a proxy fallback when a supplier blocks them.
