About Shoploop
Shoploop is a free sourcing index for wholesale products. We collect listings published on DHgate, clean them up and organise them by tag and price, so a seller can get from “I need a supplier for this” to a real listing in minutes instead of an afternoon.
What Shoploop does
The wholesale catalogue behind this site is enormous and messy: millions of listings, titles written for search engines rather than people, and the same product repeated a hundred times at a hundred prices. Shoploop takes that catalogue and makes it browsable.
- Search — one keyword box over the whole catalogue. “Wireless earbuds”, “linen tote bag”, “stainless steel water bottle”.
- Tag pages — listings grouped by the attribute they share, so you can see the shape of a niche before you pick a product.
- Product pages — unit price, supplier photos, and a direct link to the supplier’s own listing.
- A rolling refresh — new listings come in, listings that no longer exist go out.
What Shoploop is not
We are not a shop. Shoploop does not hold stock, take payments, arrange shipping or handle returns.
Every order is placed on the supplier’s page. That is deliberate: you buy at the supplier’s live price, with their live stock level and their buyer protection, instead of paying a reseller in the middle. It also means the contract of sale is between you and the supplier, so returns, refunds and disputes are handled under their published policy, not ours.
The short version: we help you find the product and the supplier. The supplier sells it to you.
Where the catalogue comes from
Listings are collected from the public DHgate catalogue. For each one we store the title, unit price, product photos and the attributes we can read reliably. Prices and stock are captured at collection time and refreshed on a rolling basis, which means a page you open today may be a few days behind the supplier.
When a listing disappears at the source, we remove it here too. A dead page is worse than a missing one: it wastes a crawl and it wastes your time.
How we decide what to index
Not everything in the source catalogue is worth indexing. A listing has to clear a few basic bars before it appears here:
- A readable product title — not a keyword string, not an empty template.
- At least one usable product photo.
- A real unit price, not a placeholder or a range that starts at $0.01.
- A product type we can tag consistently, so it can sit on a tag page next to comparable items.
Listings that fail these checks are skipped. It is a blunt filter and it does let some good products through the net, but it keeps the catalogue from turning into a dump.
Who uses Shoploop
- Shopify, WooCommerce and Etsy sellers sourcing a product they already know sells.
- Dropshippers testing a niche with sample orders before committing to inventory.
- Small retailers and market stalls buying 20–200 units at a lower unit price.
- Buyers comparing supplier prices before negotiating directly.
How we make money
Shoploop is free to use. When you follow a product link and place an order, the marketplace pays us an affiliate commission. Three things follow from that:
- The price you pay is the supplier’s price. The commission does not change it.
- Commission never affects ranking. Search results and tag pages are ordered by listing recency, not by what a supplier pays out.
- No paid placement. Nobody can buy a position in our results.
Corrections and takedowns
Prices drift, photos get swapped, suppliers close. If you find a listing whose price, photo or product no longer matches, send us the page URL with a note about what is wrong. We re-check it against the source and either refresh the listing or remove it.
If you are a brand owner and a listing infringes your rights, the fastest route is the marketplace’s own intellectual property complaint process, because they control the listing. We will take our page down as soon as the source listing comes down.
