Stuck? Pick one.

Prefer the Chrome extension popup: toolbar icon → sign in once → type an English keyword.

Need: desktop Chrome, extension signed in, and you signed in on 1688.com. Legacy website search is optional.

Or skip Search: open a 1688 offer → Generate Report.

That is expected. Search and Generate use your 1688 session. We do not log in for you.

Open 1688.com in the same Chrome profile as the extension, finish login / captcha, leave that tab open, then retry.

Phone Chrome cannot run the extension.

Green = worth a paid sample of that exact SKU — not a wire-the-deposit light.

Yellow = gaps on the public page (MOQ, lead time, tiers). Tick Ask, then sample.

Red = skip unless you already know the factory. Scores are research, not an audit.

In the report, open 6 · Ask before sample. Missing items are pre-checked.

Copy A · WangWang (default) or B · Email · RFQ. Paste on 1688 yourself. We never send.

Prefer A or B next time? Set it on Account after you sign up.

Keep this offer on a report (or Demo) signs you up if needed, then writes that offer into Library.

Demo / stranger: use the floating Keep bar — not bare /signup. After signup or login you land back in Library with the offer saved.

Live Compare (signed in): yellow Keep top offer. The page asks once if you leave empty.

Library is the keep-list — Shop notes is optional factory scratchpad. Export CSV / Excel when ready to sample.

Click the toolbar icon → Sign in or Create account in the popup. No codes to copy.

That pairs the extension to your account for search, Keep, and Compare.

Not needed for: reading the Demo, or the traffic-light lean on a 1688 page (until you save).
