China Product Sourcing + AI Photo Generation: The workflow in n8n
The workflow in n8n

The client’s problem

Listing a product from 1688, Taobao or Alibaba meant copying titles and attributes by hand, guessing which colours sell, using blurry supplier photos, and spending hours per product.

What I built

Paste any 1688 product URL: attributes, variants, and colour photos scraped automatically. AI picks the best 4 colours based on your market's top-selling list. Every variant gets a reference photo pulled directly from the supplier. Clean structured output ready to feed into photo generation and Shopify publishing. Works for 1688, Taobao, and Alibaba. Sourcing from a different platform? (Shein, Temu suppliers, AliExpress) The scraping layer is swappable: different platform, different scraping service, same automation logic. Under $1 per product. Fully automated. Zero manual work. Whether you sell on Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Vinted or Depop, if your products come from China, this removes the most painful part of your workflow.

The outcome

Built a fully automated fashion product pipeline that eliminates manual work for dropshippers and resellers sourcing from 1688. Paste a URL: the system scrapes all variants, selects the best colours for your market, generates 16 studio-quality model photos across 4 angles, and delivers everything to Google Drive. Under $1 per product. Zero manual work.
