Upgrade Shopping Extension for Your Taobao Order Website

Challenges when using traditional shopping extensions

  • Taobao.com and 1688.com frequently change their interface, causing extensions to quickly become outdated. For example, just the product detail page on 1688.com has dozens of variations depending on the product category.
  • Product information scraping becomes an endless battle: The IT team must continuously analyze new page structures, edit code, send updates to Chrome Store and wait for approval.
  • Maintenance costs for a specialized technical team to maintain extensions can exceed 300-500 million VND/year for small and medium businesses.

Consequences when extensions operate ineffectively

  • Massive loss of orders: When extensions stop working, the automatic ordering process is interrupted and customers cannot pay.
  • Direct revenue loss: According to statistics, 1 hour of downtime can cause businesses to lose 15-20% of daily orders.
  • Pressure on personnel: IT team becomes overloaded with emergency fix tasks, affecting progress of other projects.
