To make AliDropship plugin work properly,
you need to install and activate AliDropship
Google Chrome extension.
It allows you to:
add products and reviews to your site directly
from AliExpress.
edit products before import.
update product stock and prices.
fulfill orders automatically and collect tracking
IDs to send your clients.
сompare prices from different sellers.
check the seller’s score before import:
AliExpress’s Score and AliDropship’s Score
don't match – this is because we use a more
complicated formula to get the results.
track a product’s price changes.
look through customer images to get to know
about what the product looks like in real
life.
To use all these features, you need to authorize
AliDropship Google Chrome extension on your
site:
Open your site => log in your admin area => click
AliDropship Google Chrome extension icon => ‘Log
in’ or add a site manually using ‘Website’
field.
Enter your login and password => click ‘Log
In’:
Click ‘Authorize’:
Click the AliDropship Google Chrome extension
icon, and you’ll see a green circle confirming
that authorization is complete.
The Extension settings can be found on the
panel of a product category page of AliExpress.
Click on the cog icon to set search filters
by shipping country (any country or a set
of countries), shipping method, and product
description type.
You can also select a category to which you
want to import the products.
On the AliExpress category page, the Extension
will show you the processing time (how long
it takes for a supplier to prepare the item
for shipping) and shipping method available
for each product.
There are two types of product import you
can choose: single product import and bulk
import.
If you need to add only particular products,
click the orange AliDropship logo to import
items one by one.

store, you will see a tick next to the cart
icon.
A grey icon will be shown if there is no active
store found.
If you need to edit item details before adding
it to your store, click the Edit button on
the gray Extension panel.
In the modal window, it is possible to make
some essential changes to the product listings.
In General, you can edit product title, its
permalink and assign the item to a certain
category.

tab.
Check Remove text and/or Remove images if
you want your products to be imported without

want them to be imported.
You can edit images with the help of Image

Click on the pencil icon in the top right
corner of an image to start editing it.

In Pricing, you can set a new price and apply
a pricing formula (product price will be recalculated
according to the pricing formula you have
set in AliDropship => Settings => Pricing).
In the Attributes tab, you can edit existing
attributes.
Click Reset to Defaults if you do not want
to save the changes you have made to the product.
Edit or delete a product’s item specifics
in the Item Specifics tab.
