How can we help you?

Alibaba Group owns and operates 1688.com, an e-commerce marketplace. It is a leading wholesale platform and one of the best resources for the dropshipping business.

If you are familiar with Alibaba and AliExpress, you might wonder why there is other types of online buying website. Alibaba is the parent company and owns a few different online websites, such as AliExpress, 1688 and Taobao.

Online platforms owned by Alibaba Group vary in terms of language and business models. Dropshippers who don't understand Chinese, rely on AliExpress solely for dropshipping.

Alibaba.com: Wholesale platform (Buyer outside of CN)

Aliexpress: Retail platform (Buyer outside of CN)

vs

1688.com: Wholesale platform (Buyer in CN)

Taobao: Retail platform (Buyer in CN)

Per comparison above you may easily see the difference, and gain an impression what is 1688.com.

The answer is simple: prices are much lower than on AliExpress!

Most AliExpress sellers actually source their products from 1688 and resell them on their stores. This means you are paying a markup when you dropship via tools like Oberlo or DSers, as they are synchronized with the AliExpress platform.

Forget about the tedious process of registering for a 1688 account or dealing with language barriers. Unlike other agents, we make sourcing effortless with our dedicated tools.

1. Register on the ZQ system.

2. Add the ZQ Chrome Extension to your browser.

3. Browse 1688.com and use the extension to import products instantly.

4. Pay directly in USD—no Chinese bank account needed.

We make shopping on 1688 as easy as shopping on Amazon.

You generally do not need an LLC just to launch your store and test products. You can start as a sole proprietorship. However, once you start making consistent sales, forming an LLC is highly recommended to protect your personal assets and access better payment gateway options (like Stripe). Note: Always consult a local tax professional.
