Verify a Chinese supplier before you contact, sample, or pay
Paste an Alibaba product page, supplier store, or company website. We identify the supplier-level pages, collect public signals, and show what still needs manual verification before you make a buying decision.
What you get from the free scan
Our crawler extracts publicly accessible parameters to highlight basic status and alert you to immediate risks.
It is a first-pass screen, not a guarantee. Use manual review when the order size, product risk, or payment decision needs human judgment.
- Supplier homepage or storefront identity
- Alibaba ratings page when reachable
- TrustPass / company profile summary when reachable
- Product list and product-category signals
- Website homepage plus important public pages
- Company-name, product-line, and public-footprint consistency

Shenzhen Smart-Tech Co., Ltd.
A typical trading-company profile: broad product listings but highly localized registry scope.
Ningbo Precision Forging Factory
A strong manufacturer profile: single-category product consistency and matching unified social credit code.
Yiwu Commodity Trading Co., Ltd.
High-risk warning sample: mismatched registration status, newly established license with broad scope.
Paste any of these page types
The scanner accepts multiple URL structures and maps them to the corresponding manufacturer.
Alibaba product pages
Paste the product page your buyer found. We keep the product context, then look for the supplier storefront behind it.
Alibaba supplier stores
Use a storefront, company profile, product list, rating page, or other public supplier subpage.
Company websites
Paste a homepage or product page from a supplier website. We start from the homepage and review key public pages.
A supplier can exist and still be the wrong choice for your order
Alibaba badges, product photos, and a business license are useful, but they do not answer every buyer question. You still need to know whether the company identity matches the store, whether the product category makes sense, what evidence is missing, and what to ask before payment.
You found a product on Alibaba
Most buyers paste product pages, not company homepages. The tool is built for that: it keeps the product context and looks for the supplier store behind the listing.
You need a quick red-flag screen
Use the free report to spot missing ratings, weak public footprints, broad product categories, or gaps that should be checked before you spend time with the supplier.
You are close to samples or payment
If the order matters, upgrade to manual review for identity fields, legal-risk interpretation, operating capability, IP / brand signals, and buyer questions.
Why upgrade to manual verification?
When a decision has financial or operational weight, human-in-the-loop checks provide verification parameters:
- Verification of company registration details directly inside mainland China registry databases.
- Analysis of domestic court disputes, administrative violations, and business anomaly flags.
- Evaluation of the supplier's real business scale (insured employee counts, intellectual property ownership).
- Cross-platform social media footprints (Xiaohongshu, Zhihu, Douyin) manually checked by sourcing experts.
What the free scan cannot verify
- No Alibaba login, contact unlocking, CAPTCHA bypass, or private-data collection
- No guarantee that a supplier is safe, compliant, or suitable for payment
- No certificate authenticity verification or factory audit
- No legal opinion and no replacement for sample testing or purchase-contract review
How it works
Three automated steps to compile a full public-source profile.
Paste the supplier-related URL
Use an Alibaba product page, supplier store, company profile, official homepage, or official product page.
We expand to supplier-level pages
For product pages, we identify the supplier homepage or store first. For websites, we review the homepage and key public navigation pages.
Read the first-pass screening report
You get public-source signals, missing evidence, buyer questions, next steps, and a clear path to human review when the decision needs judgment.
5 Sourcing Red Flags the AI Scan Evaluates
Most import risk stems from gaps in basic company credentials. The free screening tool analyzes public footprint parameters to immediately identify discrepancies:
Registration Status Discrepancies
Checking whether the official Chinese business status is active or if the company has been dissolved, revoked, or placed on abnormality lists.
Mismatched English and Chinese Registries
Verifying if the English store name, logo, or declared company name aligns logically with the Chinese legal registration record.
Unrelated Business Scope (Broad Operations)
Detecting if a supplier selling high-precision mechanical parts is registered as a commodity trader, or if their official scope covers completely unrelated products.
Absent Official Public Footprints
Spotting if the supplier lacks an official website, brand registries, corporate emails, or matches domain registrations that are less than 6 months old.
Exhibition and Trade Activity Inconsistencies
Correlating store claims against database records of physical booths in domestic and global export databases to confirm active trading history.
Pick the right verification tier

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common inquiries regarding the supplier checker capabilities.
Can I paste an Alibaba product page?
Yes. That is the most common use case. The scan keeps the product context, then tries to identify the supplier storefront and supplier-level pages instead of only analyzing the product listing.
Does this verify that an Alibaba supplier is legitimate?
The free scan is a public-source screening report, not a final legitimacy guarantee. It helps you see what is visible, what is missing, and what should be verified manually before samples or payment.
What does the free report check?
It checks reachable Alibaba and website signals such as storefront identity, ratings when reachable, TrustPass or company profile summary when reachable, product-list signals, website pages, consistency clues, missing evidence, buyer questions, and next steps.
What is the difference between the free scan and manual review?
The free scan summarizes public pages automatically. Manual review adds human judgment across company identity fields, Alibaba / website consistency, risk records, operating capability, IP / brand signals, and buyer-specific decision questions.
Do you bypass Alibaba login or CAPTCHA?
No. The tool only works with publicly reachable pages. It does not bypass login, unlock private contacts, scrape protected areas, or collect private personal data.
Can this tell whether a supplier is a factory or trading company?
The free scan can show product-line and public-footprint clues. The $249 Buyer Decision Review is better for judging factory, brand owner, group company, or trading-company signals because that requires cross-source human interpretation.
Check your supplier before the conversation gets expensive
Paste the Alibaba listing or supplier website you are evaluating. The first-pass report is free and helps you decide what to ask next.
