Kakobuy Shopping Agent vs Forwarding: Start With Who Is Buying From the Seller

The simplest way to choose a path is to ask one question: Do you need Kakobuy to handle the seller-side purchase, or have you already handled that part yourself?

Shopping Agent: product discovery becomes a purchase request

Use the shopping-agent workflow when you are starting from: a Taobao/Weidian/1688-style product link, a product search, a seller listing you want the platform to purchase.

Your preparation should focus on: exact URL, desired variant, size/color, quantity, useful order note.

The platform-side workflow then continues toward seller purchase, domestic warehouse delivery, QC and later international parcel submission.

Forwarding: you already control the seller-side purchase

Forwarding is a different starting point.

The key information is no longer "Which product should the agent buy?" but "How will the item I purchased be identified when it reaches the warehouse?"

Before using a forwarding workflow, make sure you understand the current Kakobuy instructions for: warehouse address, recipient/identification format, transfer or tracking information, product declaration/details requested by the interface, what services are available after arrival.

Do not copy old warehouse-address instructions from a forum post. Use the current Kakobuy interface.

Fill & Buy: when the normal product parser is not enough

Kakobuy also exposes a Fill & Buy entry point.

Use the live interface to determine what information it currently requests.

A manual purchase request usually makes sense only when you can describe the product precisely enough to prevent ambiguity: seller/source, item, price, variant, quantity, image or option reference when appropriate.

Do not use a manual form to compensate for an unclear product decision.

A simple routing test

I have a normal product URL and want Kakobuy to purchase it → Start with Shopping Agent.

I already bought the item and need warehouse/international forwarding → Review the current Forwarding workflow.

The listing cannot be handled cleanly by the normal product flow → Review the current Fill & Buy form and requirements.

Why this matters for kakobuy-s.net

Product cards on kakobuy-s.net and w2cspreadsheet.net are discovery tools.

They should not pretend every shopper needs the same Kakobuy entry point.

The site can explain the route, while the live Kakobuy interface remains the final authority for current fields, warehouse addresses and service availability.
