For importers and buyers
Walk the halls; photograph the products and cards; voice-note the FOB, MOQ, lead time, certifications. SourceBot files each supplier by hall, category, and price tier — with your conversation context preserved.
Start SourceBot free →For exhibiting Chinese suppliers
Western buyers visit your booth for 5 minutes and disappear into 25,000 other booths. Photograph the card, voice-note in Chinese or English. BoothBot drafts your follow-up in the buyer’s native language when you ask.

1
One field. WeChat is the primary channel for Canton Fair captures — alongside WhatsApp and Telegram for international buyers.
2
Photograph cards, samples, packaging. Voice-note prices and lead times. Captures tag by hall + day so the post-show sort writes itself.
3
Canton runs three 5-day phases. Use the gap between phases to negotiate test orders with the suppliers you actually want, rather than the ones whose cards happened to be on top of the stack.
The Open Data Model
Everything you capture at Canton Fair 2026 stays in your Google Sheet, shared with you, whether you pay or not. Payment keeps the capture and follow-up engine running beyond opening day. It does not gate access to data you already built.

Budget reality check
Space only · small booth (9 m² / 10×10)
$2,200–4,000
Realistic all-in (build, freight, drayage, travel)
$8,000–16,000
Visitor badge
often free trade registration; on-site queues are the real cost
Space rental is only a quarter to a third of the true cost — budget 3–4× the space rate before deciding. These are industry-typical planning ranges for a show of this region and scale, not organizer quotes — confirm against the official exhibitor prospectus, and watch the advance-freight deadline: it quietly decides half the logistics bill.

You don’t. Focus on the 30-50 suppliers in your category and hall on day 1. DaGaMa captures every one cleanly so you can negotiate seriously instead of guessing from memory.
Yes. Your sourcing sheet is a standard Google Sheet you can export to CSV and import into Alibaba’s RFQ tool, 1688’s supplier directory, or your internal procurement system.
DaGaMa Intelligence extracts FOB pricing from voice notes as a separate column. You always have the raw voice note as audio backup if you need to re-verify what was said at the booth.
