What Are W2C Links and Why They Matter

W2C links are the backbone of the replica shopping ecosystem. They are direct links to seller product pages on Chinese platforms like Weidian. Understanding how to extract the correct information from these links will save you time, money, and frustration.

Common Link Mistakes That Delay Orders

Pro Tips

Sharing a mobile-app-only link

Fix: Always share the browser URL, not a deep link from the app

Forgetting to include size/color preference

Fix: Always specify SKU details alongside the link

Sending a screenshot instead of a link

Fix: Screenshots require manual lookup; links are instant

Using expired or deleted links

Fix: Test the link in browser before sending to your agent
