● Reasons to sell on Alibaba.com

A wholesale channel no other marketplace covers.

Alibaba.com isn't another B2C marketplace. It's the largest B2B wholesale layer in the world — higher AOV, longer relationships, and a sales motion that B2C platforms can't replicate.

B2B scale

40M+ B2B buyers in 200+ countries

Alibaba.com hosts 40 million+ active business buyers from 200+ countries — wholesale, distribution, OEM, white-label. Higher AOV than B2C marketplaces, longer cycles, but stickier customer relationships.

Trade Assurance

Built-in trust through escrow

Trade Assurance holds buyer payments in escrow until shipment and quality terms are met. Free for sellers to certify, drives more inquiries, more clicks and higher buyer conversion — without you carrying the credit risk.

RFQ pipeline

Inbound leads, not just listings

Alibaba's RFQ (Request For Quotation) engine matches buyer requests to your products. Instead of waiting for organic browsing, you quote actively against named opportunities — a higher-conversion sales motion than passive marketplace listing.

● What Huup syncs with Alibaba.com

Wholesale + B2C, side by side.

Most multi-channel platforms treat Alibaba like a B2C marketplace and break on MOQs, tiered pricing and Trade Assurance flows. Huup is built for both motions.

Storefront Storefront product publishing

Publish to your Alibaba.com storefront from Huup. MOQ, tiered pricing, lead time, product attributes — all handled in one place across your whole catalogue.

RFQ RFQ pipeline management

Inbound RFQs route into Huup with buyer details and product specs. Track quote status, win rate and follow-up — alongside your B2C orders.

Orders Trade Assurance order ingestion

Trade Assurance orders ingest with full buyer details, payment status, escrow conditions and shipment milestones. No re-keying into your ERP.

Inventory MOQ-aware inventory sync

Wholesale moves stock in cases, pallets or container loads — Huup's inventory model handles MOQs and pack hierarchies so a 1,000-unit order doesn't look like 1,000 individual sales.

Pricing Tiered & negotiated pricing

Set price tiers by volume, region or buyer segment. Override per-RFQ for negotiated deals. Currency conversion handled per buyer.

Logistics Multi-modal shipping

Alibaba.com Shipping or your own freight forwarder — Huup tracks ocean, air and courier shipments through one timeline with milestone visibility.

Finance Multi-currency invoicing

Invoice in USD, EUR, GBP or buyer-local currency. FX-rate aware. Reconciles with Alibaba.com escrow release for clean P&L per customer.

Documents Customs & trade documents

Auto-generate commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and HS-code declarations from order data. PDF export for the buyer and the freight forwarder.

Customer Account-based customer records

Wholesale buyers are accounts, not transactions. Huup keeps the full relationship — past orders, negotiated terms, contact list, lead-time SLAs — under one record.

Channels Side-by-side with B2C

Run Alibaba.com B2B alongside eBay, Amazon, Etsy and Shopify D2C. One product graph, one stock pool, one team. Reserve B2C stock automatically when a wholesale order books.

Portal Branded customer portal

Wholesale buyers get a branded portal to track shipments, download invoices and re-order. Under your brand, your terms, your colours.
