FEATURES

Import Products:

This plugin can import products from AliExpress with several methods: via a built-in search module or through the free chrome extension. Additionally, it can pull products from selected categories or store pages on AliExpress. Also, if you want to import a specific product only, you can use AliExpress product ID or AliExpress product URL to do that.

  • Import from single product page

  • Import from category page

  • Import from store page

Import All Products of specific AliExpress seller or store:

The plugin has a separate page allowing you to search for products in specific AliExpress store or seller. Often it helps if you find some stor on AliExpress and want to pull all items form the store.

See a detailed guide on this topic HERE.

Split product variants into separate products:

The plugin allows splitting product variants. For example: a lot of products on AliExpress come with the « ShipFrom » attribute. Often dropshippers don’t want to show this variant for customers. With this feature it’s possible to split such a product by the « ShipFrom » attribute. As result you will get separate products without it.

Please look through the this article to understand clearly how splitting feature works.

Remove « Ship From » attribute automatically: save your time, you don’t need to edit the « Shipping From » attribute for each product one by one, Ali2Woo will do that automatically for you!

Check out an article from the plugin Knowledge Base to know how to use this feature.

Override product supplier:

The product override feature is very helpful if you get a new order for the out-of-stock product and want to fulfill the order from another supplier or vendor on AliExpress.
Also it helps if you have a product that was loaded through other dropshipping tool or it was added manually in Woocommerce and you want to connect the product to some AliExpress item using Ali2Woo.

Check out an article from the plugin Knowledge Base to know how to use this feature.

Change product images through the built-in image editor:

Have you ever noticed the most product images having seller’s logo on AliExpress? And when you import the products into your store, those watermarks are visible for your customers. We know about such a problem and added a built-in images editor to the plugin`s features. The image tool allows to adjust photos right in your WordPress Dashboard.

It’s recommended to check a detailed article about the image editor tool.

Configure settings for all imported products:

This set of settings apply to all products imported from AliExpress. Go to Ali2Woo Settings > Common Settings > Import Settings.

  • Language: Set language of product data such as title, description, variations, attributes, etc. Currently, the plugin supports 17 AliExpress languages. We add new languages periodically.

  • Currency: Change the currency of products. Currently, the plugin includes 145 currencies. We add new currencies periodically.

  • Default product type: By default the plugin imports product as « Simple/Variable product ». In this case, shoppers will stay on your website when they make a purchase else choose the « External/Affiliate Product » option and your visitors will be redirected to AliExpress to finish the purchase.

  • Default product status: Choose the « Draft » option and imported products will not be visible on your website frontend.

  • Not import specifications: Turn this feature on if you’d NOT like to import product attributes from AliExpress. You can see these attributes in the « specifications » tab on the AliExpress website.

  • Not import description: Enable this feature if you don’t want to import product description from AliExpress.

  • Don’t import images from the description: If you want to skip images from the product description and don’t import them to the wordpress media library, use this option.

  • Use external image urls: By default, the plugin keeps product images on your server. If you want to save free space on your server,
    activate this option and the plugin will load an image using an external AliExpress URL. Please note: This feature works if the plugin is active only!

  • Use random stock value: By default the plugin imports the original stock level value. Some sellers on AliExpress set very high value and it doesn’t look natural. To solve the issue just enable the feature. It forces the plugin to generate stock level value automatically and choose it from a predefined range.

  • Import in the background: Enable this feature and allow the plugin to import products in a background mode. In this case, each product is loaded in several stages. First, the plugin imports main product data such as: title, description, and attributes, and in the second stage, it imports product images and variants. This feature speeds up the import process extremely. Please note: In the first stage a product is published with the « draft » status and then when all product data is loaded the product status is changed to « published ».

  • Allow product duplication: Allow the import of an already imported product. This can be useful when you want to override a product with the same product.

  • Convert case of attributes and their values: Products may come with different text case of attributes and their values. Enbale this feature to covert all texts to the same case.

  • Remove « Ship From » attribute: Use this feature to remove the « Ship From » attribute automatically during product import.

Set options related to the order fulfillment process:

These settings allow changing an order status after the order is placed on AliExpress. Go to Ali2Woo Settings > Common Settings > Order Fulfillment Settings.

  • Placed Order Status: Change order status when order is placed.

  • Default shipping method: If possible, the extension auto-select the shipping method on AliExpress during an order fulfillment process.

  • Override phone number: The extension will use these phone code and number instead of the real phone provided by your customer.

  • Custom note: Set a note for a supplier on the AliExpress.

  • Transliteration: Enable the auto-transliteration of AliExpress order details such as first name, last name, address, etc.

ESTAFA Le sugerimos que utilice nuestro nuevo complemento para dropshipping - AliNext.Tiene todas las características de Ali2Woo, pero se basa en nuestros propios analizadores, que proporcionan datos precisos y completos de AliExpress.En contraste, Ali2Woo se basa en la API de AliExpress, que proporciona una baja precisión de datos a menudo.Recibirás este mensaje cuando despues de comprarlo NO FUNCIONA ESTAFA

I tried this plugin and it is a reliable way of importing product with Aliexpress, option to edit the image. For a free plugin, I cant complain anything.

More important than any product created by a company is their customer support. Ali2Woo had all my issues solved within 12 hours. Their product is also outstanding. You simply will not find a better application to build ecom stores.
