Yes, you can import 1688 listings into Shopify, Wix, WooCommerce, BigCommerce or Jumpseller. 1688 is run by Alibaba Group as China's leading domestic wholesale platform, with over a million paying members. Here is why sellers source from it, and exactly where Importify fits.
Domestic wholesale costs that are often lower than AliExpress, especially as your order volume grows.
A deep pool of factories and wholesalers, so you can buy straight from the original maker behind a product.
Many suppliers offer custom branding and packaging, so you can build your own labelled product line.
Millions of SKUs across every category, from electronics and home goods to apparel and packaging.
Built for volume buyers, so your unit cost drops and your margin improves as you grow.
Use 1688 for wholesale cost, then mix in other supported marketplaces for the rest of your catalog.
1688 is built for buyers inside China, so it is not direct international dropshipping. Here is the honest picture, and exactly where Importify fits.
Titles, specs and supplier chat are all in Chinese. Importify translates the listing so you can read, edit and sell it in your language.
Suppliers ship within China and expect bulk orders. Most overseas sellers use a sourcing or forwarding agent to consolidate and ship internationally.
Expect minimum order quantities and supplier negotiation, not one-click checkout. Full auto-fulfillment stays AliExpress-only.
The honest workflow: Importify helps you import product data, images and variants, translate and rewrite the listing, set pricing and publish to your store. For fulfillment, 1688 usually needs manual review, a supplier workflow, or a sourcing agent. See the full 1688 and Taobao dropshipping guide.
This is the real Importify advantage for 1688. One click imports the product, then translation and the AI Product Optimizer turn raw Chinese copy into a clean, branded listing your customers can read. Pick any language and toggle the AI FAQ and trust sections.

A short, honest checklist so wholesale sourcing on 1688 goes smoothly.
Specs, materials and options are in Chinese. Confirm sizes, materials and variants after translating, not just the title.
Most overseas sellers use an agent or forwarder for payment, communication and international shipping. Arrange this before you scale.
Many 1688 suppliers set MOQs. Confirm the minimum quantity and unit price at that tier before you commit.
Quality varies between factories. Order a sample through your agent and inspect it before putting ad spend behind the product.
1688 ships within China. Factor consolidation, forwarding and international transit into your delivery promise.
Wholesale price is only part of it. Add agent fees, shipping and duties to find your true cost before setting retail pricing.
