The Role of Spreadsheets in the vigorbuy Ecosystem

What Is Commonly Referred to as a vigorbuy Spreadsheet?

In general, a vigorbuy spreadsheet is a Google Sheet that collects shopping links from Chinese e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, Weidian, and 1688. These links are intended to be used with the vigorbuy agent service, which handles purchasing on behalf of the buyer.

Most spreadsheets provide a consistent set of details:

• Item names
• Prices converted into USD
• Quality control (QC) images
• Occasionally, short reviews or basic ratings

They are most often created by influencers or TikTok creators and usually revolve around specific themes, including fashion items, budget selections, or niche product categories.

Are vigorbuy-Compatible Spreadsheets Available?

Yes. Although Pandabuy spreadsheets are more widely known, similar spreadsheet-style resources are also available for vigorbuy users.

In addition, vigorbuy has taken the concept further by indexing more than 84,000 product links and automatically adapting them to work directly on the vigorbuy platform. This has resulted in the largest ready-to-shop vigorbuy product database, regardless of whether the original links came from other agents.

Why Spreadsheets Were Useful to Shoppers

Spreadsheets originally gained popularity because they made it easy to explore large numbers of products without searching individual marketplaces.

Their main advantages include:

• High item volume collected in one place
• Structured layouts that are easy to scan
• Visual support through included images
• Theme-based grouping, such as by price or category
• Low setup effort, since Google Sheets is free

The Limits of Spreadsheet-Based Browsing

Despite these benefits, spreadsheets are not ideal for long-term use:

• Mobile navigation is poor, especially on phones
• Duplicate entries frequently appear across different sheets
• Agent-specific links may restrict where purchases can be made
• The format is outdated compared to modern shopping platforms

How vigorbuy Improves on the Spreadsheet Model

vigorbuy retains the useful parts of spreadsheets while solving their core issues:

• A single catalog of 84,000+ curated products
• Duplicate detection that removes repeats while preserving reviews
• Links that work natively within the vigorbuy platform
• Advanced filtering and search tools beyond basic text queries
• Integrated features, including QC photos and shipping cost estimates
• A shopping-first interface, rather than a data table layout

What Makes vigorbuy an Effective Product Discovery Tool

The platform combines automation with human input:

• 112 influencers help keep listings accurate, current, and relevant
• Products are given clear names and descriptions instead of raw marketplace titles

This balance improves clarity and helps users make decisions faster.

Where Does the Large Product Library Come From?

Instead of relying on one source, vigorbuy aggregates content from 112 separate spreadsheets, creating a selection far larger than any single curator could realistically manage.

How Spreadsheet Quality Is Evaluated

To determine which spreadsheets add the most value, vigorbuy reviews:

• Total item count
• Overall uniqueness across the platform
• Internal consistency, ensuring no duplicate listings within one sheet

The most valuable spreadsheets are large, original, and internally clean.

Is Detailed Spreadsheet Information Available?

Yes. Each indexed spreadsheet has its own detail page showing:

• Community rating
• Date added to the index
• Most recent update

More contextual information will be introduced over time to improve transparency and comparison.

Do Users Still Need Google Sheets?

For most shoppers, vigorbuy effectively replaces traditional spreadsheets.

The primary reason to browse a Google Sheet today is inspiration—casual scrolling through random items. On vigorbuy, users can simply start with a keyword, and even broad searches like “pants” or “home decor” return a wide range of relevant results.
