1688 Account Setup, Verification, and Alipay Integration: A Step-by-Step Guide
How to setup an account on 1688
Creating a 1688.com account is the first step in beginning your purchasing journey on the website.. Even if you are purchasing from 1688.com through an agent, I still recommend that you create your own 1688.com account for your convenience.
