Search 1688 without the language barrier.
1688 is where most Chinese domestic supply is listed. Searching it well takes the right Chinese terms and a way to tell comparable products from lookalikes.
From requirement to search terms
One English product name rarely covers how it is sold in China. From your requirement we write several Chinese terms: synonyms, trade phrasing, OEM wording, material and capacity. A portable dog water bottle becomes 宠物随行杯, 狗狗饮水器, 宠物外出水壶 and more, not one translation.
Keyword and image search, one result set
Keyword and image searches run together. Results are normalised into one format, duplicates are merged, and similar products are clustered.
Comparable, not just similar
Each product gets a requirement match: how closely the listing appears to fit your specification across product type, material, capacity, features, customisation, MOQ and price. The reasons are listed, including what the listing does not say. It measures fit to what you asked for. It says nothing about whether the supplier is reliable.
Listing price is not a quote
A 1688 price is indicative. Your project keeps the listing price and the supplier-confirmed quote apart, so a benchmark never gets mistaken for an offer.
