The report is reviewable before the next payment.
Possible outcomes
The report ends with a decision, not a vague sourcing note
Most first checks resolve into one of five clear next actions before any money moves.
The route looks workable
Known product, quantity, destination, and prep fields are enough to move into a quote request.
Do not bulk order yet
MOQ, material, package, supplier, or channel risk means a sample or small test is safer.
The answer needs supplier facts
Ask for SKU table, packed size, carton data, certificates, photos, or delivery constraints first.
The product needs a human check
Restricted goods, brand/IP, battery, cosmetic, wireless, children, customs, or route issues need review.
The payment risk is too high
The visible cost, route, product, compliance, or supplier signal does not support paying yet.
Before supplier payment system
Product check first. Supplier payment only after the decision is clear.
Supplymo is not an open-ended sourcing promise. It is a pre-payment decision workflow: collect the product clue, expose missing fields and risk, then decide whether to stop, sample, quote, or move into assisted ordering.
Submit one product clue
Send a 1688, Shopify, AliExpress, CJ, Amazon, TikTok Shop link, image clue, keyword, quantity, destination, or prep note.
Get a written pre-payment check
Supplymo separates match quality, MOQ pressure, landed cost assumptions, prep needs, supplier signals, missing fields, and risk flags.
Choose the next action
The output says continue, sample first, request info, request quote, manual review, change route, or stop before supplier payment.
Trust boundary
No supplier payment is created by submitting a product clue.
No lowest-price, supplier-quality, customs, tax, freight, delivery-time, or platform-approval guarantee.
Manual review is required when product, supplier, customs, prep, route, or restricted-goods signals are unclear.
Output
Written decision record, not a fake final quote.
Handoff
Human review when facts are missing or risk is high.
Plain answer
What is a 1688 sourcing check?
A written decision record for one product before supplier payment. The goal is to decide whether the 1688 route is practical — not to browse endless supplier options.
Direct summary
What it is
A written pre-payment review of one product's 1688 sourcing route.
What it checks
Comparable 1688 options, MOQ, landed cost, prep work, risk, and assisted order fit.
What you get
A plain recommendation: continue, sample first, request a quote, change route, or stop.
The written report covers
Similar 1688 options
Find likely same or close candidates instead of relying on one listing.
Real landed cost
Estimate unit price, China freight, handling, prep, and shipping assumptions.
Prep needs
Flag label removal, SKU labels, barcode, polybag, repack, and photo proof.
Supplier and product risk
Watch for visible mismatch, restriction, platform, and logistics risk.
After submission
What happens after you submit a product clue
The form starts a review record. It does not start supplier payment, automatic ordering, customs clearance, or guaranteed shipping.
1. Received
Your product clue and contact method are saved.
No supplier payment, order, or warehouse work starts from this form.
2. Triage
Supplymo checks whether the clue is specific enough.
Missing SKU, quantity, destination, weight, carton, or platform context may trigger a request for more information.
3. Manual review
Visible supplier, product, MOQ, prep, route, and restricted-goods signals are reviewed.
High-risk or unclear items move to manual review instead of receiving a fake precise answer.
4. Written output
The check returns cost assumptions, risk labels, missing fields, and next action.
Possible outcomes: continue, sample first, request info, request quote, change route, manual review, or stop.
5. Quote path
Only viable checks can move into quote-based assisted ordering.
Quote approval and payment happen later; they are separate from this first check.
Risk labels
Risk labels trigger a next action, not just a warning
missing_dimensionsPackage size is missing.
Shipping estimate will stay weak until packed dimensions are confirmed.
weight_unknownWeight is missing.
Landed cost cannot be trusted yet.
moq_too_highMOQ may be too high for a trial order.
The recommendation may shift to sample first or stop.
sku_unclearVariant options are unclear.
Confirm size, color, material, and model before payment.
compliance_review_requiredThe category needs manual compliance review.
Electronics, children, food-contact, cosmetics, IP, CE, FCC, or KC risk cannot be auto-approved.
not_quote_readyThe product is not ready for a reliable quote.
Ask for supplier fields first instead of producing a fake precise cost.

What this is not
Clear limits make the check more useful
Not a lowest-price guarantee
The check focuses on viable cost and risk, not unrealistic supplier claims
Not automatic negotiation
Supplier negotiation is not promised as the V1 default workflow
Not compliance certification
Platform, import, and category compliance remain buyer responsibilities
Not customs certainty
Duty, VAT, clearance success, and delivery time can change by country, product, and route
Not full inspection
Basic warehouse photos are not the same as a detailed third-party inspection
Not for counterfeit goods
Restricted or unclear products may be declined before quote
Why sellers trust the check
A decision you can defend before you pay
The value is not a score. It is a written record that separates supplier price from real landed cost, names the risks, and ends in one clear next step.
Written before any supplier payment
You get the decision record first. No money moves to a supplier from this check.
Cost separated from supplier price
Unit price, China freight, prep, and outbound shipping are listed as their own lines.
Honest about what is missing
When weight, carton, or SKU data is missing, the estimate is marked low-confidence — not faked.
Risk flags trigger an action
Every flag maps to a next step: sample first, request info, manual review, or stop.
Humans review the hard cases
Restricted goods, IP, battery, and customs questions move to a person, not an auto-answer.
Clear limits, stated up front
No lowest-price, customs-clearance, or quality guarantees. The boundaries are part of the service.
FAQ
1688 sourcing check FAQ
Can Supplymo tell if a 1688 supplier is reliable?
Supplymo can review visible supplier signals and missing fields, but it cannot guarantee reliability without deeper verification, communication records, and order evidence.
Is a low 1688 price enough to buy?
No. MOQ, China domestic freight, warehouse handling, prep, international shipping, duty or VAT risk, packaging, and product risk decide the real landed cost.
What if the page does not show weight or dimensions?
The check marks the estimate as low confidence and request packed dimensions, gross weight, carton size, and units per carton before shipping is quoted.
Does product check include full inspection?
No. Product check happens before purchase. Warehouse photos, count checks, or detailed inspection happen after goods arrive in China.
Can I use this for Shopify or TikTok Shop products?
Yes. The output includes sales-channel risk such as shipping promise, package size, SKU mapping, labeling, and return risk.
What happens if a product is high risk?
The report recommends manual review, sample first, an alternative supplier, or not proceeding before payment.
Final check form
Submit enough context for the first written check
Add quantity, destination, platform, and prep needs so the result can separate product price from the operational work around it.
