I built a Chrome extension that finds 1688 / Alibaba suppliers behind products you see online

I do product sourcing from China, and one of the repetitive parts of the workflow is seeing a product online and then trying to trace it back to possible suppliers. So I built Catalayer Find. The idea is pretty simple: Product page → detect the product → find matching supplier listings → compare the results Right now, Find can surface matching suppliers from sources like 1688 and Alibaba and help compare things like: • supplier matches • supplier pricing • price ranges • match si

AI 分析

痛点:跨境电商卖家看到网上的产品后,想反查 1688/阿里巴巴上的货源,需要在多个网站间反复复制标题、图片、关键词,流程重复且低效。

目标用户:亚马逊/Shopify 卖家、私标(private label)卖家、一件代发从业者、采购与选品人员、小型采购代理

证据:I do product sourcing from China, and one of the repetitive parts of the workflow is seeing a product online and then trying to trace it back to possible suppliers. / It’s still early, and supplier matching is obviously the hardest part to get right. / What information would you want to see before deciding whether a supplier match is actually worth investigating?

变现:Chrome 扩展免费基础版 + 订阅制(按每月搜索/匹配次数分档,如 $9–49/月),工作区团队席位加价,或按次出售供应商匹配 credit;面向采购代理可做白标授权。

MVP:2 周内做出:Chrome 扩展一键抓取当前商品页的标题+主图,调用 1688/阿里图片与关键词反查接口,返回 Top 10 候选供应商卡片(价格区间、MOQ、工厂/贸易商标签、匹配置信度),并提供可保存的简易工作区列表,匹配不准时支持人工搜索词修正。

竞品:1688 拍立淘/图片搜索、Alibaba 图片搜索与 RFQ、ImportYeti、Jungle Scout Supplier Database、SaleHoo、SupplierHunter、Google Lens / Yandex 以图搜图

摘要:一位做中国货源采购的开发者发布了 Chrome 扩展 Catalayer Find,可在任意商品页直接反查 1688/阿里巴巴的匹配供应商,并对比报价区间、匹配信号与供应商信息,同时提供可回访的工作区。帖子本身没有付费或收入数据,但切入的是跨境卖家真实且高频的找货源流程,该领域已有 Jungle Scout、ImportYeti、拍立淘等成熟付费/免费竞品,竞争空间有限;作者也承认供应商匹配准确率是最难的技术点。变现路径清晰(订阅制 Chrome 扩展),单人可做,但需解决反爬与匹配精度问题。
