Alibaba's domestic wholesale platform — a primary sourcing channel.
- Free
DHgate is a B2B cross-border wholesale marketplace, with lower minimum order quantities than traditional wholesale channels.
That low minimum is its practical role: it lets a small seller test a product with a modest order rather than committing to a factory run, which is where most new product lines fail.
Supplier quality varies widely, so transaction history, response behaviour and a sample order matter more than the listing photographs.
