How do you make a Superbuy link?
You don't build it by hand. Superbuy creates its own item page when you paste a product link into its search bar; its user guide says to copy the product link and paste it into the search bar, and that it can capture 99% of Taobao, Tmall and JD listings. So "making a Superbuy link" is two steps: get a clean original link (the cleaner above does that), paste it into Superbuy, and if you want to share the result, copy the address of the Superbuy page that opens.
If Superbuy shows a "Fill in A Shopping Agent Order" page instead, it couldn't read the listing automatically, and you fill in the details by hand. That usually happens with unusual platforms or messy links, which is exactly what cleaning the link first avoids.
item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=… link is the most reliable thing you can paste into Superbuy. Everything else is decoration that can break the import.What's inside a messy Taobao link?

Green: the item page address. Yellow: tracking and session parameters you can drop. Red: the item ID, the only part that identifies the product.
Links copied from the Taobao app are messier still: share text in Chinese brackets, emoji, and a short m.tb.cn link that only resolves when opened. Links from other agents wrap the original address inside their own, often percent-encoded. The cleaner decodes those layers, finds the item ID and rebuilds the standard address for the platform.
Converting links from other agents to Superbuy
Most agent product links carry the original listing inside them, either as an encoded url= parameter or as the item ID. Paste the agent link into the cleaner; if it contains a Taobao, Tmall, Weidian or 1688 item, you'll get the clean original link to paste into Superbuy. That also works in reverse for Superbuy links you want to open on Taobao directly, for example to read the seller's size chart or reviews.
Links that point only to an agent's own internal product number, or shortened affiliate links, can't be decoded offline. Agent links that carry only a platform label and an item number, such as shop_type=taobao&id=… or /product/weidian/…, are read too: the cleaner rebuilds the full marketplace address from them. For anything else, open the link in a browser first and copy the address it lands on.
What about m.tb.cn short links?
A short link is a redirect: the real address only appears after a server lookup, which a page running in your browser can't do on another site's behalf without sending your link to a third party. We chose not to do that. Open the short link in a browser, let it land on the item page, and copy that address. It takes five seconds and keeps your browsing private.
What about Superbuy affiliate links?
Superbuy runs a public affiliate programme; links shared by creators carry a partner code that ties sign-ups to them. That's what searches like "how to make an affiliate Superbuy link" are about. You get your own code by joining the programme on superbuy.com's Affiliates page. This tool strips tracking and affiliate parameters from product links rather than adding them, so the links it gives you are neutral.
Superbuy link converter FAQ
How do I make a Superbuy link from a Taobao link?
Strip the Taobao link down to the item address with its id= number, which our cleaner does in your browser, then paste it into Superbuy's search bar. Superbuy builds its own order page; its user guide says it captures 99% of Taobao, Tmall and JD listings. To share the result, copy the address of the Superbuy page that opens. A clean link imports most reliably.
How do I convert a Superbuy link back to Taobao?
Paste the Superbuy link into the cleaner. Most agent links carry the original listing, often percent-encoded after url=, and the tool decodes it into a standard Taobao, Tmall, Weidian or 1688 address. Opening the original is handy for reading the seller's size chart or reviews. If a link holds only an internal product number, open it in a browser and copy where it lands.
Why won't Superbuy read my Taobao link?
Usually the link is cluttered: Chinese share text in brackets, emoji, spm= tracking parameters or an m.tb.cn short link that only resolves when opened. Superbuy may then show a manual order form instead of the listing. Clean it to a plain item.taobao.com/item.htm?id= address, opening any short link in a browser first, and paste that full address into Superbuy.
Does this link converter add an affiliate code?
No. The cleaner removes tracking and affiliate parameters, so every link it returns is neutral, and it runs entirely in your browser without sending links anywhere. If you want links that earn commission, Superbuy runs a public affiliate programme; join it on the Affiliates page of superbuy.com to get your own partner code. Use clean links for buying and official ones for sharing.
What does Superbuy's 'Fill in A Shopping Agent Order' page mean?
It means Superbuy couldn't read the listing automatically, so you enter the item details, price and options by hand. That mostly happens with unusual platforms or messy links. Try cleaning the link first; a plain Taobao, Tmall, Weidian or 1688 address normally imports without trouble. If the item really is on an unlisted platform, Superbuy's fee there is 10%, capped at CN¥20.
