ALD Pro adds product preparation, shipping options, and order fulfillment tools to the AliExpress and WooCommerce process. It includes the free version’s features. When upgrading, existing settings, imported products, and fulfilled orders remain.

Connect stores and import products

WooCommerce is required. Install ALD and the WooCommerce AliExpress Dropshipping Extension, then connect a shop using WooCommerce REST API authentication. The extension can connect multiple WooCommerce stores. Install it from the Chrome Web Store or manually.

Before authenticating, temporarily disable Coming Soon, Under Construction, or Maintenance Mode settings so the extension can connect. Your site needs an SSL certificate, and its permalink structure must not be set to Plain. Once connected, import from an AliExpress product page or category page.

Prepare listings before publishing

Review imported entries in the import list. Edit details such as SKU, price, description, attributes, variations, and gallery pictures, then add a product to WooCommerce or override an existing product. Pro also works with migrating products from another AliExpress dropshipping extension.

• Set general import rules for product status, catalog visibility, descriptions, images, attributes, categories, tags, and stock management. Product status can be Publish, Pending, or Draft.
• Import attributes as global or custom attributes, rename or remove unwanted attributes, and map AliExpress attribute terms to more suitable names.
• Select product images and gallery images. Images from product descriptions can also be downloaded to your server for editing with other extensions.
• Split products with many variations into smaller products for easier management. Imported product variations can be shown on the product page.
• Set price rules for quantity ranges, including a fixed increase, a percentage increase, or a specific price. Configure regular and sale prices, currency conversion, price formatting, and whether shipping cost is added to product cost.

Shipping and order fulfillment

Frontend shipping lets customers pick a shipping company based on their country, similar to shopping on AliExpress, instead of importing one fixed shipping cost with the product. Shipping company names can be masked.

A separate page organizes AliExpress orders. Fulfill orders individually with the Chrome extension or in bulk; automatic fulfillment can process AliExpress orders when a customer purchases from your store. ALD can distinguish AliExpress orders from your store’s initial orders in WooCommerce.

Pro can sync product prices and quantities with AliExpress automatically using cron. Email notifications can report products that go out of stock, change price, or become unavailable, and sync progress can be checked in a log file. Tracking numbers can also sync automatically. The exchange rate can be scheduled to update daily at a specified time.

ALD is compatible with Orders Tracking for WooCommerce for tracking data and Product Variations Swatches for WooCommerce for displaying product variations.

Dokan vendor workflow

With Dokan compatibility, vendors can import AliExpress products and use their own Import list, Imported products, and settings pages in the vendor dashboard.

Installation and support

Install WooCommerce and ALD, install the companion extension, and connect the store with WooCommerce REST API authentication after checking the SSL, permalink, and maintenance mode requirements. Then import products, configure import rules, and manage listings and AliExpress orders in WooCommerce.

Each purchase includes either 6 or 12 months of premium support. The Pro feature list includes lifetime updates.
