Import 1688.com products into Shopify - skip the agent fee

1688.com is where experienced dropshippers go once AliExpress margins get squeezed - usually via a paid sourcing agent. Pasting the URL directly translates the Mandarin content and rebuilds the product in English, without the agent's per-order markup.

1688.com is Alibaba's domestic Chinese wholesale marketplace, offering factory-direct products at the lowest prices in China - often cheaper than AliExpress or Alibaba.
