How W2C Spreadsheets Are Revolutionizing Group Buying – And How CNFANS Adapts

2025-07-29

The rise of W2C (Want-to-Cop) spreadsheets has fundamentally shifted how users make purchases in group buying communities. Instead of individually searching and placing orders, consumers now increasingly "follow recommendations and batch order"

The Spreadsheet Ordering Trend: Efficiency at Scale

Modern buying groups leverage Excel/Google Sheets as:

  • Centralized product catalogs with real-time inventory
  • Crowd-voted "want" lists with size/color variants
  • Auto-calculated bulk pricing tiers

This method boosts participation rates by 89%

CNFANS Spreadsheet Order Support: Key Features

Recognizing this pain point, CNFANS developed industry-first spreadsheet integration

1. Excel/CSV Batch Import

Direct upload of spreadsheet formats used by W2C groups, automatically mapping:

  • Product URLs with embedded aff codes
  • Size/color/version selections
  • Priority tags and special requests

2. Version Control via Notes

Preserves spreadsheet metadata like:

  • Sheet version timestamps
  • Group voting percentages
  • Member-submitted adjustments

3. Recommender-Based Fulfillment

Automated sorting by:

  • Affiliate/referrer IDs
  • Source spreadsheet tabs
  • Consolidation by warehouse location

Operational Impact for Buying Groups
