China supplier search
Find a relevant product before you ask for a price.
Describe what you want to buy in plain English. Poppiki searches for candidate products, checks their title relevance and helps you turn selected results into an inquiry. You can start with a product and add the details as you learn what suppliers offer.
Review source information. Prepare your inquiry. Confirm terms before buying.
From request to inquiry
Three steps to a useful conversation.
Describe the requirement
Name the product, its material or purpose, and the features that matter. Include quantity if you know it; avoid combining unrelated products in one search.
Review the matches
Review candidate products and their source information. AI checks title relevance to bring likely matches forward; check the details yourself before choosing.
Select and prepare
Select products, add your quantity and review an inquiry on the same page. There is no separate brief form required before you begin searching.
A clearer starting point
Write a search that describes a product, not just a category
“Packaging” leaves the product open to interpretation. A material, form and intended use give the search a more useful target. Leave uncertain specifications as questions rather than inventing precise requirements.
I need 1,000 custom kraft paper shopping bags for a clothing shop, with twisted paper handles and a one-colour logo. Approximate size: 25 × 10 × 30 cm (width × depth × height).
Illustrative request only. These dimensions, quantity and material are not an available offer or a purchasing recommendation. Replace them with your needs before submitting.
Buyer’s checklist
Screen candidates using evidence you can point to
Product relevance is one useful filter. It does not settle order conditions or tell you whether a company can manufacture your specification.
Product fit
Look for the requested product type and important features in the source title or description.
Ask or check: Is this the complete product I need, or a related accessory, material or different model?
Material and dimensions
A similar appearance can hide a different material, capacity, construction or size.
Ask or check: Can you confirm these exact specifications and identify any proposed substitutions?
Order fit
A listing minimum may differ from the minimum for your logo, colours or packaging.
Ask or check: Can you supply my quantity and variant split? What changes if I order a sample first?
Supplier identity
A product result or company description is not an independently verified business record.
Ask or check: Who is the contracting company, what is its role in production, and how can its details be checked?
Delivery and compliance
Availability, export arrangements and product requirements depend on your destination and intended use.
Ask or check: Which delivery terms can you quote, and what product-specific documentation can you provide for my market?
Refine a search with too many loose matches
Add the feature that distinguishes the product: “paper shopping bag” instead of “bag,” or “ceramic drinking mug” instead of “cup.” Check whether an unnecessary adjective or an ambiguous term is leading to a different category.
Treat uncertain results as questions
The relevance check assesses available product titles. It does not inspect a sample, verify a certification or negotiate an order. An uncertain match can still be worth reviewing; a high relevance judgment cannot replace those checks.
Put it into words
Use the same core request for each candidate
Comparable questions make later replies easier to assess. Add a specific question for each candidate wherever the source information is unclear.
Hello, I am looking for [product] for [intended use]. Required specification: [material, dimensions and essential features]. Planned order: [quantity and unit], with [variant split]. Please flag any part of this specification you cannot meet. Please provide your unit price and currency, minimum order, sample options and fee, customization costs, packing details and production lead time. Delivery destination: [city and country]. Please state your delivery terms and exclusions. For your listed product [link or reference], please specifically confirm [uncertain feature].Make your own inquiry with the free template
Before you start
Common questions
Can I search in English?
Yes. Start with a plain-English product request in Poppiki. Source listings may still contain Chinese text, so check the original details and confirm unclear terms before relying on them.
Does a relevant result mean a verified factory?
No. Product-title relevance is separate from legal identity, factory ownership, capacity, compliance and quality. A result is a candidate for review, not an endorsement or completed factory audit.
What if I already have a 1688 product link?
Paste a complete individual 1688 product URL on its own into the same tool. That reads the chosen product directly instead of starting a broad description-based search.
Do I need to finish a detailed brief before searching?
No. Start with a recognizable product request. You can select a result and supply the quantity when preparing an inquiry. More precise materials, dimensions and variant information improve the questions you can ask.
