Spreadsheets rot. If you paste a link into CNFans and it says "Product deleted," do not look for a replacement. Find a new spreadsheet. The sheet is old.
CNFans, as a shopping agent for platforms like Taobao, Weidian, and 1688, provides a native dashboard. However, experienced users often migrate data to external spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) due to high volumes of parcels, QC photos, volatile freight estimates, and reimbursement tracking. This report analyzes why spreadsheets remain a critical secondary tool for CNFans power users despite the platform’s native features.
Open Google Sheets (free) or Excel. Across the top row, create these 12 columns. I have bolded the ones newbies always skip. spreadsheets cnfans

Currently, spreadsheets are manual. However, the community is moving toward automation. Some developers are building plugins that convert a spreadsheet row directly into a CNFans cart order. By late 2025, expect to see "One-click CNFans Haul" buttons inside major spreadsheets.
Furthermore, as CNFans improves its UI, they may integrate popular spreadsheets directly into their "Finds" section, but for now, the external Google Sheet remains the most powerful tool. The sheet is old
An interesting phenomenon specific to the CNFans and "reps" (replicas) community is the sharing of "Spreadsheet Links." In this context, the term "spreadsheet" has morphed from a file format into a genre of content. Veteran shoppers curate lists of verified "trusted sellers" and high-quality items, hosting them on Google Sheets and sharing them widely on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
These community-driven spreadsheets are essentially dynamic catalogs. They bypass the often-inaccurate search functions of CNFans and Taobao. Instead of searching for "Nike shoes" and wading through thousands of listings, a user opens a trusted spreadsheet, finds a row labeled "Best Batch Air Jordan 1," and copies the provided link into CNFans. This culture has turned the spreadsheet into a form of social currency; owning and maintaining a popular spreadsheet confers status within the community, as it saves others time and money.
