The Anatomy of a Cnfans Product Link
Every product on the Cnfans Spreadsheet is tied to a Weidian item ID — a unique numeric identifier for a product listing on the Weidian marketplace (similar to a Shopify product ID or Amazon ASIN). The Weidian ID is the core of every Cnfans link.
When you click "Buy on KakoBuy" or any other agent in the product modal, the system takes the product's Weidian ID and inserts it into a pre-built agent URL template. For example, KakoBuy's URL template is:
`https://kakobuy.com/item/details?url=https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID={weidian_id}&affcode=tc6hu`
The `{weidian_id}` placeholder gets replaced by the actual 10-digit item ID, generating the final URL that takes you directly to that product's page on KakoBuy.
Why This System Is Better Than Manual Links
The URL template system means every agent on Cnfans can work with every product automatically. New agents can be added to the system without manually updating thousands of product links. Existing products automatically become available on new agents the moment the agent is added to the database.
It also means Cnfans links stay functional even when the underlying Weidian product changes URLs — since the system is keyed to the item ID rather than a hardcoded URL. This is one of the key advantages of the Cnfans Spreadsheet architecture over simple Google Sheets where links go dead constantly.
Each agent in the Cnfans product modal constructs a unique buy link by substituting the product's Weidian ID into that agent's URL template. All 30+ agents work with every product automatically.
Do Cnfans Links Contain Affiliate Codes?
Yes — most agent URLs on Cnfans include referral/affiliate codes appended to the URL. For KakoBuy, this is the `&affcode=tc6hu` parameter. For MuleBuy, it's `&ref=xxxxxxx`. These codes attribute your registration and purchase to the Cnfans affiliate relationship, which supports this site at zero cost to you.
Important: affiliate codes do NOT affect the product price, service fees, or shipping rates you pay. They're purely a tracking parameter on the agent's side. You pay exactly the same whether or not an affiliate code is present.
How to Find Weidian Finds Using the ID
Sometimes you might have a Weidian ID from a community thread and want to find it on a specific agent. Simply take the template for your preferred agent and substitute the ID:
KakoBuy: `kakobuy.com/item/details?url=https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=XXXXXXXXXX` MuleBuy: `mulebuy.com/product/?shop_type=weidian&id=XXXXXXXXXX` OopBuy: `oopbuy.com/product/weidian/XXXXXXXXXX`
This manual method works for any Weidian product, whether or not it's listed on the Cnfans Spreadsheet.
