Step 2: Set Up Your Master Sheet

Create the following columns in your sheet. This structure is key:

Column Header Description
Store Platform Dropdown list for Taobao, Weidian, 1688, etc.
Store Name/Link Link to the store for easy reference.
Item Name & Link Product description and exact URL.
Item Price (¥) Unit price of the item.
Quantity Number of units purchased.
Item Weight (g) Per unit weight from the product page.
Domestic Shipping (¥) Shipping fee from seller to agent warehouse.
Subtotal (¥) Formula: (Item Price * Quantity) + Domestic Shipping
Notes/Status e.g., "Ordered", "Arrived at Warehouse", "Waiting for Exchange".

Step 3: Input Data for Each Order

For every item you buy, add a new row. Copy-paste links directly

Step 4: Use Summary Formulas for Totals

At the top or bottom of your sheet, create a summary section with these formulas:

  • Total Product Cost:=SUM( range of 'Subtotal' column )
  • Total Estimated Weight:=SUM( range of 'Item Weight' column ) / 1000
  • Item Count:=COUNTA( range of 'Item Name' column )

These figures will auto-update as you add rows, giving you a real-time financial overview.

Step 5: Share with Your Agent (Optional but Recommended)

Once your list is finalized, you can share the view-only sheet link with your CNFANS agent. This provides them with perfect clarity for purchasing, storage, and pre-packaging checks, streamlining the entire process.

Pro Tips for Effective Use

Color Coding

Use cell colors for status: e.g., YellowGreen

Freeze Header Row

Always freeze the top row so your column headers are visible as you scroll down a long list.

Regular Updates

Update the sheet as soon as you order or receive status updates from sellers to keep data accurate.

Check Store Reviews

Note seller reputation from the platform in your "Notes" column to track potentially problematic orders.
