Step-by-step
How to make a HipoBuy spreadsheet
- 01
Collect the original product links
Start with full marketplace URLs from Taobao, Weidian, 1688. One source product belongs on one row.
- 02
Create or import the rows
Paste links into a new Repfolio sheet or import CSV/XLSX. During import, map Link, Name, Price, Image, Seller and Notes to the matching fields.
- 03
Choose what Repfolio should collect
Scrape titles, displayed prices, images or sellers for one row or the whole sheet. Blocked and incomplete pages remain editable rather than being presented as confirmed data.
- 04
Select the agent and review links
Choose HipoBuy where supported, add the appropriate code, and open representative destination links before publishing.
- 05
Export or publish
Download CSV or Excel, connect Google Sheets, or publish a hosted catalog. The output uses the fields you reviewed rather than silently replacing them.
Template structure
Columns worth keeping
- Product name
- A short, recognizable name that remains useful if a page title changes.
- Source URL
- The original marketplace link, kept separate from the agent destination.
- Price + currency
- The displayed amount and its currency, with the scrape time available.
- Seller
- The seller or store shown by the source when it can be collected reliably.
- Category
- A consistent value such as footwear, outerwear, accessories or home.
- Sizing + notes
- Variation details, warnings and the exact option you reviewed.
Link handling
Keep source and agent links distinct
Use HipoBuy links produced by confirmed public product routes or the agent's own sharing controls. Repfolio will not invent an affiliate parameter when a complete partner specification is unavailable.
Keep the list small enough to spot-check while the integration matures. Record the canonical marketplace URL, item identifier and scrape timestamp so broken destinations can be repaired without rediscovering the product.
Newer agents can change routes quickly. Revisit HipoBuy links before publication and after any unexplained increase in generic landing-page redirects.
Repfolio is independent from HipoBuy and the listed marketplaces. A generated or imported URL is not an endorsement, authenticity check, availability promise or shipping estimate. Public lists should identify affiliate relationships clearly.
Ordering guide
How to order from HipoBuy
Open the current HipoBuy product destination, confirm it matches the original listing and complete any purchase inside HipoBuy. Review current fees, warehouse information and shipping options there.
Before paying, compare the destination with the original marketplace row and confirm quantity, size, color and price. After purchase, use the agent’s own order status and warehouse tools; a spreadsheet is a planning record, not proof that an item has been bought or inspected.
Creator links
The HipoBuy affiliate program
Public partner documentation is currently limited. Treat HipoBuy referral attribution as beta and verify eligibility directly in the account before advertising expected rewards.
Keep one code per agent, test attribution using the provider’s own dashboard where available, and identify affiliate links prominently. Program acceptance, commission, withdrawal and account eligibility are controlled by HipoBuy and can change independently of Repfolio.
