The same item: ¥38 on 1688, ¥31 on Pinduoduo, ¥29 with free shipping from an old Taobao shop. Until now your ERP only spoke 1688 — buy anywhere else and the bookkeeping was on you. 辉光ERP's Purchasing Centre now brings Pinduoduo and Taobao fully on board: paste the link, place the order as usual, and the order number, logistics and actual payment record themselves.

What this feature does for you

Paste a link, platform detected: drop a product link into the sourcing card and the system recognises 1688, Pinduoduo or Taobao — even from share-text full of emoji or a tb.cn short link, it extracts the real URL. The "go purchase" button switches to the right platform accordingly.
Order numbers captured as you buy: click through to Pinduoduo or Taobao and the browser extension watches that tab — once you pay, the new purchase order number is sent back to the ERP and bound to the right order. No more copying digits out of "My Orders".
Tracking numbers flow back on their own: the extension then checks your purchase orders regularly; the moment the seller ships, the domestic tracking number appears in your Purchasing Centre — ready for scan-in receiving.
PDD actual-paid lands in your costs: the extension collects the true amount you paid on Pinduoduo (after discounts) plus postage, and writes it into purchase cost — the "purchase cost" column in Order Management shows real money, not an estimate.
Manual entry works too: type an order number straight into the "purchase order no." column — the platform is auto-detected and the tracking number back-filled. One order can even hold multiple purchase numbers via "+ add another", with 1688, PDD and Taobao orders side by side.

Multi-source: bundles and split buying

A single product can carry several sources: the components of a bundle, or several sellers on the same platform, each attached and tracked independently — its own order number, its own parcel, its own arrival status. However complex the assembly, the books stay clean.

1688 multi-source also supports merged ordering: when you purchase several orders together, the system groups identical sources into one order automatically — 4 orders each drawing on the same 3 sources would have meant 12 separate 1688 orders; merged, it's 3, saving 9 shipping fees. Each merged order's amount and payment link are listed so nothing goes unpaid.

A smoother Purchasing Centre all round

One-click sync: a single click completes 1688 statuses and waybills on the server, then hands over to the extension for Pinduoduo/Taobao — clearing historical backlog too.
A four-stage flow: to-purchase → purchased → shipped → dispatched, so every order's position is obvious; buyer-cancelled orders get a red flag so you never purchase for a dead order.
Search that reaches everything: title, SKU, TSIN, order number, purchase order number or domestic tracking number — whatever you remember, search it.

Real seller scenarios

Price-shopping your sources: your bestselling plush toy got pricier on 1688; the same item is ¥7 cheaper on Pinduoduo. Paste, purchase, pay — the order number binds itself, the actual payment feeds your cost, and net profit is computed on real figures.
Assembling a bundle: a newborn gift set built from three shops — two 1688 lines plus one PDD line. Each source tracked on its own; who has shipped and who hasn't sits on one screen, and you dispatch when everything's in.
Clearing a backlog: inherited a pile of old purchase orders with numbers but no logistics? One-click sync refreshes waybill status across all three platforms at once.

Pinduoduo & Taobao sourcing is part of 辉光ERP's Purchasing Centre — the all-in-one platform for Takealot cross-border sellers in South Africa. Source freely; account rigorously.
