    Hello Yaros: would you consider protecting your plugin with ionCube as well? That way for those whose webhost cannot support Zend Guard but support ionCube can also purchase the plugin.

    On another topic, often times applying automatic updates to plugins are not recommended, is it possible to have the same licence used on domain (abc.com - production site) and subdomain (demo.abc.com - testing/demo site)? I myself rather to test updates for plugins on subdomain (the subdomain is of course created from the main domain) before performing the updates on the prod site.

    Thank you for the information! Currently I am not planning to integrate other protection systems, however this is a topic to consider. The Plugin works with sub-domains and if you want to move from your sub-domain to a root one later, no problem, the license can be updated.

    Digital Ocean seems to be good. Which price droplet did you use? How do you handle receiving emails? Did you install a mail server as well?

    It is solved with Mailgun or Sparkpost. These systems are already integrated in the plugin.

    ok I have bought thanks.
    I'm using siteground hosting, will update here after setting up .
    for siteground , zend guard not enable by default you must enable it or contact support.
    Also for mailgun I just contact siteground support for dns management.

    Hi. Nice plugin. The $89 licence is for just one store or multiple stores?

    @BishopStill $89 for the plugin + themes + future updates and support. It is a one-time payment and one license is valid for one domain.

    Hi Yaros,
    I must say that because of you and this post , i've learned the basics of dropshipping, and i have decided to start my own website, im not really a developer so i can't start a site from scratch, i choose shopify because its simple, for the past 4 days i was working hard on adding products, i went for some MARVEL itemes and now giving it a thought i m affraid that all my hardwork is ruined if shopify block my store for using trademark itemes, and also when i will use facebook ads nand use images of MARVEL characters, will my account be blocked ?

    I think it's better to ask Shopify first.

    Hey Yaros, really appreciate you sharing your ecommerce journey with us, it has helped a lot. Also, are there any coupons for Alidropship and is the Alidropship plugin available to use with shopify? Interested in purchasing it as soon as I set up my shop.

    The AliDropship Plugin is based on WordPress platform only.

    I'm running it on $5/mo node which has 512MB of RAM and 20Gb disk Space (both can be increased later) with Nginx-php5-fpm-hhvm-MySQL stack. It is not on full production yet, but so far 99.99% uptime over past 60d. Definitely I'll increase both RAM and Core Processors when store will have more incoming traffic.
    As Yaros said no need in mail server, nowadays Mailgun like services handling email stuff.
    I also have standard SSL from Godaddy (bought it on a deal for ~$10 for 5 years), but if you don't want to pay for SSL you can use Cloudflare's DNS service.
