In the Main menu, you can see a wonderful Activities List section – here, you will find the details of the recent changes that happened after the latest products update.

So, it’s super easy for you to keep track of the events like the original AliExpress price modification or stock availability change: you don’t manually browse every product to monitor its individual update, you simply use the system to access and view all the important changes automatically!

What’s new in our WooCommerce WordPress plugin: product import and editing

Thoughtfully picked products with wisely edited descriptions and reviews are the foundation of your successful dropshipping business. This is why we focused our development efforts on making it easier for you to import and manage products on your website!

Notes’ field

As a dropshipping store owner, most likely, you deal with several various AliExpress suppliers: all of them have their own peculiarities and distinctive features (preferred payment methods, package dispatch period, special price offers for dropshippers, etc.).

You don’t have to bear all this in mind: simply write down the most important details about this particular seller in the designated Notes field, and enjoy the easy access to this data at any given moment.

Images’ choice

AliExpress product pages are commonly filled with various images – and, as you probably know, the more pictures a page has, the longer it takes it to load.

This is why AliDropship Woo plugin now has an exciting feature: you can choose which visual references (featured images, gallery photos, or variations pictures) will be imported along with the desired products.

Select the type of the images you want to upload, and all the other pictures will stay where they are – on AliExpress. This way, you will only fill your store with the strictly necessary photos, and won’t have to waste your time on elimination of the unwanted images – and besides, you won’t overload your server with unnecessary pictures!

Oh, and there is one more useful image-related update: from now on, you can add the images located into the item description to the product picture gallery.

Bulk actions for product attributes

The newest version of AliDropship Woo plugin makes it possible to automatically apply the same actions to several product attributes.

With this long-awaited feature, you can, for example, delete Item Specifics from the attributes in a single click – at the same time, the attributes related to product variations will remain unchanged.

Certainly, such automated operations save lots of your time; what’s even more important, they prevent you from mixing something up and worrying about incorrect product amendments.

Bulk reviews import

Actually, our Woocommerce WordPress plugin already had the function of mass reviews import: AliExpress product reviews are an important element of social proof, and we understand their necessity for your dropshipping store.

But, we decided to improve the importing function, so, now you can use more flexible search parameters to pick the desired reviews more carefully!

With the newest plugin version, it is possible to import reviews for specific categories, or only import feedback for the products that have a small amount of reviews as for now. You can read more about it here.

What’s new in our WooCommerce WordPress plugin: product management

After your dropshipping store gets filled with good-looking products of high quality, you need to keep an eye on these items. Thanks to the newest implemented features, some of the routine daily tasks can be delegated to the AliDropship Woo plugin.

Flexible pricing formula

From now on, you can set up a specific pricing formula for any product category, or complement the basic formula with the additional one to cover your taxes, shipping fees, or other expenses.

Also, you can enable discount settings if you want to make special offers in your store. You can apply these settings to all the pricing formulas you’ve specified, or to any product categories at your choice.

This option could be enabled in all pricing formulas and could be applied to all product categories or to the particular one. Nothing stops you from modifying your pricing strategy as you wish!

Convenient stock management

It’s not a rare occasion for an AliExpress product to go out of stock, but, with our cutting-edge plugin innovations, these situations won’t take you by surprise.

‘Notify Me’ option

With AliDropship Woo plugin, once a day, you get specific email notifications describing the changes made by the original AliExpress seller. It’s up to you to decide what types of notifications to receive – the options are the following:

  • When a product goes out of stock or disappears from AliExpress
  • When a product variation goes out of stock or disappears from AliExpress
  • When the original AliExpress price changes
  • When AliExpress product stock changes

So, you stay aware of all the changes happening on AliExpress, and none of the sellers’ actions pose a threat to your business.

Besides, you can activate the ‘Set quantity to zero’ settings: when a product disappears from AliExpress or goes out of stock, its quantity is displayed as zero in your dropshipping store – as the result, your potential buyers don’t get disappointed by a half-completed purchase.
