There are two Taobao wholesale networks: Taobao supply network and 1688.

1. Taobao supply network

Taobao supply network is a website that provides Taobao supply services or a seller who can provide wholesale supply. It reaches an agreement with people who want to open Taobao online stores, provides them with product pictures and other data, rather than physical objects, and provides them to Taobao store owners at a distribution price.

Generally speaking, Taobao store owners put the product pictures and other data provided by the wholesale website on their own online stores for sale, and notify the wholesale website to ship the goods on their behalf after the goods are sold.
