The real problem

China sourcing is more than calling a few APIs.

If you choose to operate the China side yourself, these become part of your own infrastructure and operational responsibility.

ProcurementOrder placement, seller follow-up, price changes and exceptions.

Two ways to build

Choose who operates the China side.

Both modes use HIOBuy technology. The difference is who owns the marketplace accounts and fulfillment operations.

Self Fulfillment account responsibility

Taobao / 1688 registration, business or identity verification, account restrictions and marketplace risk-control decisions are managed by the marketplaces. HIOBuy cannot resolve these account-level issues on your behalf. Please contact the relevant marketplace directly for assistance.

When should I use Self Fulfillment?

Use it when you already have China infrastructure.

Self Fulfillment is a strong fit if the following capabilities are already solved inside your company or partner network.

✓Stable Taobao / 1688 marketplace accounts
✓Required marketplace verification and authorization
✓China-side payment capability
✓Procurement staff or automation
✓Warehouse receiving and parcel operations
✓Seller communication, returns and after-sales capability
!
Marketplace account support is outside HIOBuy’s scope

If your Taobao / 1688 account cannot be registered, verified, authorized, or is restricted by marketplace risk control, please contact the relevant marketplace directly. HIOBuy does not control marketplace KYC, eligibility or account-review decisions.

→ Don’t want to manage marketplace accounts? HIOBuy Fulfillment is usually the faster path.
