    Thanks a lot for your response, that makes sense now, one last question if you dont mind ^_^ . On the check out page, i noticed customer phone number is not mandatory, i know you can make it mandatory from the settings, but was wondering if you can ship via e-packet and china post to the U.S without the client phone number? or do you fill in your phone number when ordering from aliexpress Thanks.

    Hi,

    1) If you place a big order on Aliexpress, what about import duties/taxes. (I know it depends what country you live in, how much you buy, and what kind of products you buy, but still)
    How and when do you get the invoice for import duties?
    (You don't want your webshop customers having to pay any additional customs duties/taxes later on,).

    2) Do you offer a discount when buying multiple alidropship plugins? What's your pricing plan.

    Thanks for the great info on dropshipping and aliexpress. I've spent hours searching and reading about this subject, but this thread is the best.
    Paul

    1. It is stated on my sites that customers are responsible for any duties and they depend on their country rules.
    2. You can get 30% off on the second purchase. If you need more licenses it is discussed individually.

    Just making sure i'm understanding,
    So if a customer places a $ 500 order, you as a dropshipper are not paying custom duties/taxes, but the customer will receive an additional invoice ($ 100) for custom duties/tax, after receiving his product? If that's the case, then hopefully this customer has read your statement on your website..

    Exactly, I have no idea and don't care what kind of custom duties/taxes are presented in other countries. So far I have not get any complaint from any of my clients.

    Yaros, I just read all 45 pages of this thread, and then registered because I want to congratulate you :)
    I've been in internet/affiliate marketing since 1999, and have often played with the idea of Aliexpress dropshipping. When I started seriously researching it recently, I stranded on Shopify and their Oberlo plugin every time. I'm a WP and Woocommerce fan, and I wanted something like what Shopify and Oberlo promise, but in a Woocommerce environment. Until stumbling on this thread today I hadn't found it :)
    Through the years I've encountered many "internet marketing gurus" giving away a (smal portion) of their secrets so that they could gain popularity and make sales. This is the first time I've found someone with your level of honesty, transparency and patience with beginners. Great job! Your plugin does everything I need, and I'll be purchasing it. Keep up the good work!

    Hey, I just noticed that when I import products from Aliexpress using your plugin... it's not automatically pricing the product like it used to. It defaults the price to $0.00?

    Hi Yaros,

    Pretty good job, especially with WooCommerce. I am using some other plugin right now and want to change to this one. So, I am wondering is plugin supporting auto importing products from let's say category watches from AliExpress (then I can delete that I don't want or my site), or I need to put single product by product.

    Thanks.

    You import products with extension one by one.

    Hi Yaros, thanks for the post as it has been very informative in assisting in my setup - I activated Social Rabbit and have noticed that on Instagram before the post it inserts #hastag1 and then on Twitter the same #hastag3 before the post starts is this a default setting in Social Rabbit. Do you have any feedback on it.

    I would recommend contacting Skype: socialrabbitplugin that we can take a look at this issue.

    Hi Thanks for the response, on another note, when I do a pricing update on Ali, certain product are returned with zero pricing in them as you mentioned in a previous post would an Ali update resolve the issue.

    Does your theme have an area where we can set up a blog or something? If not, maybe you can consider having your themes not so e-commerce focused.. because content marketing is very impt to me.. . ... something like this theme.. magazine style.. https://demo.mythemeshop.com/s/?theme=Clock.

    You can easily add a blog to your store using WP options.
