Many products? Start with your top 1-3 SKUs. Deep supplier communication, formal quotes, sample handling, or batch checks may move into a paid report or deposit-backed workflow. We do not run unlimited free price comparison or promise the lowest supplier price.

Prep or evidence needs

These do not start warehouse work. They tell the report what to check if the route proceeds.

No login or supplier payment is required to submit. Anonymous evidence is private, draft-bound, and content-checked. Only a separately authorized eligible photo may be sent to 1688 for provisional product matching; no upload authorizes a quote, purchase, payment, or supplier message.

The checklist

What Supplymo checks

Review product match, supplier signals, MOQ, cost, prep, shipping, and missing evidence before any supplier payment.

The inputs that shape the decision

Product clue

Decides source type, visible match quality, supplier page signals, and whether the check can start from a real URL or only a keyword.

Quantity

Changes MOQ pressure, cash exposure, sample-first advice, and whether the 1688 price tier is realistic.

Destination

Changes shipping assumptions, customs boundary, restricted-product review, and the official sources that may need checking.

Platform

Changes prep, labeling, carton, delivery promise, return risk, FBA or 3PL handoff, and channel-specific warnings.

Stage

Separates research checks from supplier questions, quote requests, sample orders, assisted buying, and prep or shipping handoff.

FAQ

1688 sourcing check FAQ

Can Supplymo tell if a 1688 supplier is reliable?

Supplymo reviews visible supplier signals and missing fields, but cannot guarantee reliability without deeper verification, communication records, and order evidence.

Can I start if I only have a supplier name or product screenshot?

Yes. A weak clue can start triage, but the written decision keeps missing evidence visible and may request a direct link, SKU table, package data, certificates, or supplier replies.

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 determine the real landed cost.

What if the page does not show weight or dimensions?

The check marks the estimate as low confidence and requests packed dimensions, gross weight, carton size, and units per carton before shipping is quoted.

Can I start with a keyword instead of a 1688 link?

Yes. Supplymo first searches for likely 1688 products and asks you to choose the correct one before the written check begins.

Does this form contact or pay the supplier?

No. Submitting a clue creates a review record only. Supplier contact, quotation approval, ordering, and payment are separate confirmed steps.

What happens when product data is incomplete?

Missing SKU, material, weight, carton, certificate, or destination facts remain visible and may change the result to request information, sample first, manual review, or stop.

Ready to check a product?

One product clue is enough. The first check is free and you get a written decision before any supplier is paid.
