Turkish Websites Like AliExpress — Options for Wholesale Orders

Turkey is often called the “European China,” and for good reason. The quality of textiles and leather is significantly higher, while logistics to Ukraine are faster and simpler. What often stops entrepreneurs is the purchasing process itself: instead of searching for suppliers in closed groups, they want to calmly explore assortments on a marketplace. Chinese wholesale platforms are well known — but are there similar ones in Turkey? Yes! Below is an overview of business platforms where you can выгодно purchase Turkish goods.

Platforms for Business

These websites are suitable for both beginners and experienced entrepreneurs. It’s worth noting that not all platforms listed offer “pure” wholesale like Alibaba. However, this can be an advantage — you can order small batches to test a niche or start a business.

Trendyol

Often referred to as the “Amazon” of the Turkish market. It is the country’s largest marketplace, offering everything from private-label clothing to electronics, home goods, and accessories.

Trendyol is ideal for small wholesale or retail purchases at very competitive prices. Frequent sales offer quality, trend-driven products at mass-market prices.

Btobturk

A specialized B2B platform that connects Turkish suppliers with international buyers. Manufacturers offer:

  • industrial goods;
  • textiles;
  • food products;
  • equipment.

This is pure B2B commerce. Btobturk is used to find partners for large-scale wholesale, private labeling, and contract manufacturing. It can be considered a Turkish alternative to Alibaba, although prices must be requested directly.

Hepsiburada

The main competitor to Trendyol, with a strong focus on electronics, home goods, books, sports and leisure products, while fashion is also represented. Although it is a B2C platform, prices are often lower than in retail chains, with frequent promotions and sales. International buyers can use the Hepsiglobal section for small wholesale orders. The assortment is more limited but includes attractive deals.

TurkishExporter

This platform is not a store but rather a large export database. Its concept is unique: it functions as a bulletin board and tender platform for large wholesalers. While Turkish online clothing stores produce and offer samples, on TurkishExporter importers submit requests describing what they want to buy or manufacture on demand.

Prices are provided upon request only, and the assortment is virtually unlimited. TurkishExporter is ideal for finding suppliers of raw materials, fabrics, and factories — items not available on standard marketplaces.


Websites for Ordering Clothing from Turkey

Turkey is often referred to as the textile capital of Europe, so clothing platforms deserve special attention.

Lonca

A modern marketplace offering clothing for the whole family and home textiles. Men’s clothing and evening wear are not included. The key advantage of Lonca is the absence of a minimum order requirement — you can start with small amounts. Prices are mid-range: lower than retail but higher than classic wholesale. The site offers a wide brand selection and convenient card payments for international buyers.

Turkopt

An experienced player in the textile market, featuring over 100 brands. The assortment includes exclusive and trendy clothing for women, men, and children. The minimum order is $300. A downside is the outdated interface, which takes time to get used to.

Fimkastore

One of the most well-known platforms for sourcing women’s clothing in all styles and sizes. Fimkastore even has a mobile app for quick ordering, which is unusual for Turkey. Prices are affordable, with no minimum order volume or value. Compared to other marketplaces, Fimkastore is the most user-friendly.

Istanbul Fashion Center (IFC)

IFC offers a vast selection of evening fashion, with a strong focus on evening dresses. There is also a limited range of men’s suits, women’s outerwear, and festive children’s clothing. The site aggregates showrooms, resulting in an impressive brand selection. Due to the niche focus on complex designs, purchase prices are higher. The minimum order value is $500.

Modacan Toptan

A leader in the budget online wholesale segment. The catalog features women’s clothing with a wide range of Plus Size options. Wholesale prices are among the lowest on the market. The minimum order is $500. Returns are accepted, but return shipping is paid by the buyer.

These are far from all Turkish online clothing stores. Many sellers don’t create websites at all and instead share catalogs via messengers. The clothing and textile niche is highly developed — you will certainly find suitable export options.

What Goods DiFFreight Can Deliver

Shipping goods from Europe to Ukraine involves more than route planning. Since each shipment goes through customs control, it’s important to consider restrictions and prohibitions:

  • Counterfeit goods and replicas. Any products bearing famous brand logos that are not original. Such goods are confiscated at customs, and the importer is fined.
  • Products made from rare flora and fauna: accessories or footwear made from crocodile, python, monitor lizard leather, or certain types of fur.
  • Goods without safety certificates. When importing children’s clothing and footwear, appropriate certification is required. Since 2025, control over the chemical composition of footwear and textiles has been tightened.

We do not transport the categories listed above, but we are happy to deliver women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing, accessories, bags, and home textiles — directly from manufacturers or produced under your brand.


How to Organize Logistics from Turkey

When working with Turkish suppliers, pay attention to:

  • reliability: years in business, response speed, willingness to provide documents;
  • reviews (if available on the platform);
  • payment options;
  • consistency of quality from batch to batch;
  • completeness of documentation to avoid customs clearance issues.

When working with a new intermediary, always order test samples. E-commerce is impossible without international logistics. One of our services is road freight delivery from Turkey to Ukraine, with transit times of 5–10 days. We provide top-level customer service, including shipment tracking, dedicated manager support, and assistance with customs clearance.
