Adding Products to AliExpress Marketplace: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction

Welcome! This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of adding products to the AliExpress marketplace. Whether you're a seasoned dropshipper or just starting out, we'll cover everything you need to know, from the initial setup to advanced tips and troubleshooting.

Login and Add New Products

Adding products to AliExpress is straightforward once you have the necessary tools. Follow these steps to get started:

Log in to your WP admin area. Navigate to the Products section. Click on Add New. Once added, your product will appear alongside all other products on AliExpress.

Important: Do not fill in any Supplier options under AliDropship features. This will ensure the product works as intended.

Price Update and Troubleshooting

Price updates on AliExpress can sometimes cause issues. One common problem is that after every price update, the prices in your own products are set to 0.00. While this issue is currently being addressed by the AliDropship team, here are some tips to help you manage it:

Avoid updating prices too frequently. Each update requires you to manually edit prices in each added product. Monitor your products closely and keep backups of your data.

If you have encountered this problem or any other issues, feel free to reach out to the AliDropship support team for assistance.

Alternative Methods: Manual and Automatic

There are two main methods for adding products to your store: manual and automatic. Each has its pros and cons, so let's explore them in detail.

Manual Method

The manual method involves adding each product to your store one by one. While it's time-consuming, it allows you to have full control over the details of each product. Follow these steps:

Log in to your WP admin area. Go to the Products section. Click on Add New. Fill in all the necessary details for the product, including Title, Description, Images, and Pricing. Review your work and save the product. Repeat the process for each product you want to add.

Automatic Method

The automatic method uses the Oberlo app to streamline the process. Here's how it works:

Install the Oberlo app on your Shopify store. Go to AliExpress and find the products you want to add. Click on each product you want to include. Navigate to the Oberlo website in your browser. Import the list of products you want to add. Follow the prompts to add the products to your store.

Using Oberlo can save you a significant amount of time, especially if you're adding a large number of products.

Conclusion and Next Steps

Once you've added products to AliExpress, the next steps include optimizing your listings for search engines, managing your inventory, and handling customer inquiries. Be sure to continuously monitor your products and adjust your pricing strategy as needed.
