Assisted 1688 ordering for small ecommerce sellers
Send a product link. Supplymo checks the 1688 cost, quotes assisted ordering, receives goods in China, handles light prep, and prepares shipment to your customer, 3PL, FBA, or TikTok-related destination.
No purchase before customer quote approval.
When to use assisted ordering
Use this when you have a real product clue
Cannot order directly
You have a 1688 link but need help with payment, Chinese address, or receiving.
Need China-side proof
Receiving photos and basic count help reduce blind supplier payment risk.
Need light prep
Labels, barcode, polybag, simple repack, and photo confirmation can be quoted.
Process

Warehouse receiving, photos, labels, and simple repack.
Shipping handoff
Prepare route quote to customer, 3PL, FBA, or TikTok destination.
Before supplier payment
Assisted ordering starts only after the product decision is clear
The assisted order path is quote-based. Supplymo should first expose cost, MOQ, prep, shipping, supplier, and risk assumptions before any supplier purchase.
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 should say 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.
Not by default
Clear boundaries keep the service light
Next step
Start with a product check before assisted ordering
Supplymo should first decide whether the product is worth quoting. If viable, the quote becomes the bridge into assisted order, prep, and shipping.
