1688 Cross-Border Sourcing, One Backend
Buy wherever it's cheapest — 1688, Pinduoduo or Taobao — and let the bookkeeping follow you: order numbers bind themselves, tracking flows back, and what you actually paid lands in your costs.
- Platforms

- Merged ordering
- Fewer shipping fees
Paste a link; the system does the rest
Platform auto-detected： Drop the link into the sourcing card — even share-text full of emoji or a tb.cn short link is parsed down to the real URL and matched to 1688, Pinduoduo or Taobao.
Order numbers captured as you buy： Click through to purchase; once you pay, the new order number is sent back and bound to the right order — no copying digits out of "My Orders".
Tracking numbers back-filled： The extension checks your purchase orders regularly; the moment a seller ships, the domestic tracking number appears in the Purchasing Centre, ready for scan-in receiving.
Actual payment lands in costs： The true post-discount amount plus postage feeds purchase cost directly — profit is computed on real money, not a figure typed into a product profile.
Multi-source and merged ordering
A product can carry several sources — the components of a bundle, or several sellers on one platform — each tracked independently. 1688 multi-source also supports merged ordering: purchase several orders together and identical sources group into one. Four orders drawing on the same three sources would have meant twelve separate 1688 orders; merged, it's three, saving nine shipping fees.
A four-stage flow, nothing doubled or dropped
To-purchase → purchased → shipped → dispatched: every order's position is obvious. Buyer-cancelled orders carry a red flag so you never buy for a dead order. Search reaches title, SKU, TSIN, order number, purchase order number and domestic tracking number — whatever you remember.
Frequently asked
Does it use my own 1688 / Pinduoduo account?
Yes. You place orders under your own account; the system never holds or pays on your behalf. The extension simply reads your own order number, status and tracking number afterwards and fills them back into the ERP so you can follow procurement progress.
Can logistics be back-filled for older manual orders?
Yes. One-click sync at the top of the Purchasing Centre completes 1688 statuses and waybills server-side and hands over to the extension for Pinduoduo and Taobao — clearing historical backlog too.
