Checks after connection
The main Alibaba.com workflow covers wholesale inquiries, MOQ, samples, deals, export margin and repeat purchases. Verify products, orders, settlements and inventory for the fulfillment models in use.
Operational reconciliation must reflect that supplies are controlled by deal, batch, case pack, Incoterms and selected logistics.
Protect access and data
Never send tokens or keys through chat, email or screenshots. A connection status and sanitized error text are enough for diagnostics.
When access is revoked, create a new value, save it and run a control import.
