The rise of W2C (WeChat-to-Checkout) spreadsheets has revolutionized the way users place orders online. What began as a manual process of individuals searching and submitting single-item links has evolved into a streamlined system where shoppers follow curated recommendations and submit bulk spreadsheet orders

The Spreadsheet Ordering Revolution
Shopping communities, especially cross-border repurchase channels, now frequently organize product selections into shared Excel/Google Sheets where members:
- Browse pre-vetted item recommendations
- Add desired products to designated columns
- Submit entire spreadsheets as bulk orders
This method reduces decision fatigue and improves accuracy compared to manual link-by-link submissions.
