How Spreadsheet Buying is Reshaping E-commerce – And How CNFANS Adapts
The rise of the so-called "W2C Spreadsheet" (Want-to-Cart Spreadsheet) is fundamentally changing online purchasing behavior. Instead of individually searching for product links, users are now increasingly "following recommendations and placing bulk orders."
The Shift: From Individual Links to Bulk Spreadsheet Orders
The traditional online shopping model involves a user independently searching for a product, clicking a link, and completing a purchase. The W2C model flips this. A recommendation channel (e.g., a Telegram channel, Discord server, or Instagram page) provides a structured spreadsheet. This file contains dozens or even hundreds of pre-vetted products, complete with item names, images, prices, and options. Users simply fill this sheet with their desired quantities, sizes, and colors.
For the resellers or "shopping agents" managing these orders, processing dozens of individual product links per customer is a time-consuming and error-prone nightmare. The W2C spreadsheet centralizes everything, making a customer's entire order visible in one place.
CNFANS's Solution: Streamlined Spreadsheet Order Support
Recognizing this pivotal shift, CNFANS has developed a dedicated "Spreadsheet Order Support" mode, specifically engineered to cater to this new, efficient workflow.
Key Features of CNFANS Spreadsheet Support:

Designed for "Haul Channels" and Resellers
This toolkit is a game-changer for Taobao/Weidian haul channels and resellers who purchase on behalf of their clients.
The typical process involves a customer sending a large, filled-out W2C spreadsheet. Previously, the agent had to painstakingly create dozens of separate orders, which was highly inefficient and susceptible to copying errors. With CNFANS, the agent simply uploads the same Excel file. The system handles the order splitting and creation automatically.
This means the agent can act as a true "bulk buyer," consolidating all customer orders before having them intelligently split and processed for individual shipping. The result is a dramatic increase in both speed and accuracy, allowing a single agent to manage a significantly higher volume of orders with reduced labor.
Conclusion: Embracing the Future of Bulk Shopping
The consumer shift toward curated spreadsheet buying is more than a fleeting trend; it's an evolution toward more organized and efficient e-commerce. CNFANS's "Spreadsheet Order Support" isn't just a feature—it's a strategic adaptation. By providing tailored tools that directly support the workflow of haul channels and resellers, CNFANS positions itself at the forefront of this new era, empowering its users with superior speed, clarity, and control over their bulk order management.
