Here are the specific steps for posting sourcing requests from the CJ homepage or My CJ:

After clicking the 'Post Sourcing Request' button, you can choose to source for Store Existing Product/Individual Product.

1. Store Existing Product: The product already exists in your authorized store but there is no matched result found on CJ.

Select store > Sync > Choose Product Tag > Select Product (multiple selections available) > Submit to post sourcing request for your store products.

2. Individual Product: You can also post a sourcing request for a product unable to be found in neither your store nor CJ.

*Target price means the price you're willing to pay for the sourced product.

*Product URL is required, and a link from Taobao, AliExpress, or 1688 is more likely to lead to sourcing success.
