Import Taobao products into Shopify

Taobao has the deepest catalog in China but the weakest English support. Most sellers who source from it run products through a forwarding agent just to avoid the translation bottleneck - Product Upload removes that step entirely.

Taobao is China's largest C2C marketplace, owned by Alibaba, with billions of product listings covering everything from fashion to electronics at consumer-level pricing.
