Sugargoo Link Converter: Turn Other Agents' Links Into Links Sugargoo Reads
Checked · the Sugargoo Spreadsheets team
The short version
Sugargoo's search reads original marketplace links — weidian.com, taobao.com, tmall.com and 1688.com — not other agents' links. Every agent link has the original inside it: a platform and an item ID, either as parameters like shop_type=weidian&id=… or as a whole encoded address after url=. Paste one link or a whole spreadsheet column below and the converter rebuilds the originals, one per line, ready to paste into Sugargoo. Taobao short codes (m.tb.cn) can't be decoded offline — open them once and copy the full address. Nothing you paste leaves your browser.
8 finds to test the converter on
Open one on repbuysheet.com, copy the address from your browser and paste it above — the Weidian ID comes straight out. The grid is only a sample; repbuysheet.com, where every card points, lists 10,000+ products you can filter by category and price.

Convert links for Sugargoo
Reads plain Weidian, Taobao, Tmall and 1688 links; agent links with shop_type, platform or channel plus an id; links that wrap the original after url= (even double-encoded); and repbuysheet.com links ending in a Weidian ID. Lines it can't read stay blank in the list, so your rows keep lining up.
How agent links are built
Agents all need to tell their own system which marketplace item you mean, so their links follow a handful of patterns:
| Pattern | Example shape | Rebuilt as |
|---|---|---|
| Platform + ID parameters | …/product?shop_type=weidian&id=7612345678 | weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7612345678 |
| Taobao via shop_type | …?shop_type=taobao&id=6812345678901 | item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=… |
| 1688 via shop_type | …?shop_type=ali_1688&id=7212345678901 | detail.1688.com/offer/….html |
| Wrapped original | …?url=https%3A%2F%2Fweidian.com%2Fitem.html%3FitemID%3D… | The decoded original |
| Catalog link | repbuysheet.com/…-7627094110rep | weidian.com/item.html?itemID=7627094110 |
IDs shown are made-up examples of the right length. CNFans used the shop_type pattern; many agents use url=.
The converter decodes each line up to three times, looks for a marketplace address first, and falls back to a platform name plus an ID. The result is the address the seller's listing actually lives at, which Sugargoo's search opens directly.
Links the converter can't rescue, and what to do
A few kinds of link can't be converted here, and the result box says which:
- Taobao short codes (m.tb.cn, e.tb.cn) redirect through Taobao's servers. Open one in a browser, copy the long address it lands on, and convert that — Sugargoo's own guide notes that short links often fail in its search too.
- Shop links such as shop.weidian.com point to a whole store, not an item. Open the shop and copy the item you want.
- Internal agent numbers. Some agents use their own product numbers with no marketplace ID inside. Open the link while the agent still works, or find the item by photo in the seller's shop.
- Deleted listings. If the seller removed the item, the ID leads nowhere at any agent.
For links from Xianyu, Xiaohongshu or a seller's chat, which Sugargoo's search can't read at all, use its DIY order form and enter the item by hand.
Sheets worth converting first
These are the sheets most worth converting right now, because the agent behind the links is closed, offline, unclear or renamed:
| Agent | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| CNFans | Closed | Convert every link, then paste into Sugargoo |
| Pandabuy | Closed | Convert every link, then paste into Sugargoo |
| AllChinaBuy | Offline | Homepage is a maintenance notice blaming a hacker attack |
| WeGoBuy | Offline | Dark since early 2025, never announced |
| ACBuy | Unclear | Website works and posts no notice, yet rep.tools calls it closed and reviews stop at July 30 |
| MuleBuy | Delays | Raid talk never confirmed; August reviewers describe orders stuck for weeks |
| JoyaGoo (ex-JoyaBuy) | Renamed | Trades as JoyaGoo since 2025; joyabuy links must be converted |
From our agent status check; each agent's page has sources.
Once a column of original links sits in your sheet, keep it. The next time an agent closes or changes its format, nothing in your list breaks.
From a converted link to a Sugargoo order
- Paste an original link into Sugargoo's search bar and open the item.
- Pick the exact variant. Old sheets rarely say which colour or print a row meant; check the photo in the sheet.
- Write the variant in the remark if the listing names it differently from the sheet.
- Check the size with the Sugargoo size chart.
- Collect items in the warehouse — they're stored free for 100 days — and estimate the parcel with the shipping calculator.
Sugargoo link converter questions
How do I convert a link for Sugargoo?
Paste it into the converter. It finds the marketplace and item ID inside the link and rebuilds the original Weidian, Taobao, Tmall or 1688 address, which Sugargoo's search accepts.
Can Sugargoo use CNFans links?
Not directly, and CNFans closed in August 2026. Each CNFans link carries shop_type and id parameters, which the converter turns back into the original listing link for Sugargoo.
Why doesn't Sugargoo accept my Taobao link?
Short share codes such as m.tb.cn often fail. Open the code in a browser, copy the full item.taobao.com address, and paste that instead — or use Sugargoo's DIY order form.
Can I convert a whole column at once?
Yes. Paste one link per line; you get one original link per line back in the same order, with blanks where a line couldn't be read.
Is anything I paste uploaded?
No. The conversion happens in this page's own code, on your device.
What if the converter can't find an ID?
The link may be a shop page, a short code or an agent's internal number. Open it to find the item page, or search the seller's shop by photo.
