How to Buy from Douyin (抖音): A Step-by-Step Guide
Douyin (抖音) is China’s top influencer-driven ecommerce platform, home to viral products, trending fashion, and exclusive items that often never appear on global marketplaces. However, buying directly from Douyin can be difficult for international buyers due to language barriers, payment restrictions, and lack of international shipping.
That’s why Com&Buy exists — a trusted Douyin buying agent that makes it easy for you to shop directly from Douyin sellers without needing a Chinese payment account. We handle everything — from communication and payment to inspection and global delivery.
Why Buy from Douyin Using Com&Buy?
- Language & Seller Communication
Most Douyin sellers only speak Chinese. Com&Buy bridges that gap — we contact the sellers, confirm details, negotiate if needed, and make sure your order is correct and complete. - Secure Payment & Local Purchase
Douyin requires payment via WeChat Pay or Alipay. Com&Buy handles the local payment in China, while you pay securely in your preferred currency through Wise, credit card, or bank transfer. - Optional Product Inspection
Request our inspection service for extra peace of mind. We’ll take clear photos or videos of your items once they reach our warehouse — ensuring quality and accuracy before shipping. - Consolidation & International Shipping
Ordering multiple items? We consolidate your packages into one shipment to save on costs. Choose express courier, postal, or sea freight — all tracked and supported globally. - No Minimum Order & Dropshipping Friendly
Perfect for small resellers and dropshippers — we support orders with no MOQ (minimum order quantity) and offer repacking options suitable for ecommerce shipping.
