  2. Pay with PayPal or any card. PayPal emails you a receipt.
  3. We email your license key within a few hours (usually minutes). Paste it into the tool once.
  4. Your key runs until the end of the period you bought. We remind you 7 days before it expires.

No auto-renewal: nothing is charged without an action on your side. Already paid? Paste your key or message us with your PayPal receipt.

FAQ

Do I need a 1688 account?

No. SourceLens queries public 1688 listings through our own infrastructure, so you never log in to 1688 and you do not need a Chinese phone number.

How accurate is the match?

It is the same reverse image search 1688 uses internally. Exact or near-identical products match strongly; generic or heavily edited photos match weakly. Best results come from a clean product shot on a plain background.

Can I pay without a PayPal account?

PayPal checkout accepts a card as well as a PayPal balance. We do not store your payment details.

What happens after I subscribe?

You get a license key by email. Paste it into the tool once and it stays saved in your browser until the subscription ends.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 3 searches, no card required. Open the tool and request a trial key.

Do you support sourcing from other platforms?

Not yet. 1688 is where the factories are; Taobao and Alibaba.com support are on the list.
