AliExpress is a very large retail eCommerce website owned by the Alibaba Group that enables vendors (mainly Chinese) and international shoppers to connect. AliExpress has low prices and a diverse selection of goods attracting customers from around the globe.
The Alidropship plugin offers a complete set of features that allow you to easily start and run a successful dropshipping webstore from the AliExpress website.
The plugin can easily search for and add products to your site just by specifying categories, keywords, purchase volumes and other filtering options to find the best products for your store.

Versions
AliDropship plugin is a WordPress dropshipping plugin that sources products directly from AliExpress and displays them 2 theme types of WordPress themes:
- On a WordPress theme built by AliDropship (some are free, some paid)
- On almost any other WordPress theme and adding the Woocommerce Plugin
Each of the two types require a different plugin but perform the same function.
- AliDropship original plugin
- AliDropship Woo plugin.
Depending on your personal preferences, skills and business aims, you may choose either version of the plugin. Refer to the comparison chart below to learn the major differences between the two plugins.
It is not recommended to add more than 400-500 products to your WooCommerce site. It can lead to issues with high CPU usage on your server and heavy database load created by multiple WooCommerce queries.
Sometimes this is NOT always the case as mentioned by some of the more experienced users in their forum.
In fact I personally run a successful AliExpress Woocommerce store that has over 2000 products.

It is recommend choosing AliDropship Woo plugin if:
- You already have a deep understanding of WooCommerce and are highly experienced in this field
- You already have a WooCommerce-based online store, and you need to fill it with AliExpress products in a quick, efficient, and effortless way
It is recommend choosing the original version of AliDropship if:
- You are making your first steps in the whole eCommerce sphere and you don’t have a solid previous experience in the field
- You’re creating a brand new online store from scratch
- You are looking for a full-scale solution that contains all the necessary features in a single package and doesn’t require you to search, install and pay for any additional plugins and themes.
Please note that AliDropship original plugin is only compatible with the built-in themes and does not support Woocommerce themes.
The AliDropship Woo plugin works with themes produced by WooCommerce and cannot be installed with the built-in themes.
I personally run 2 webstores:
- One on the Flatsome theme
- The other on the Rehub theme
Since AliDropship original plugin is not compatible with WooCommerce and AliDropship Woo plugin, you should carefully consider all options of the two plugins before making your final decision on which version to go with. If you decide to switch to the other version of the plugin, you will need to reinstall your WP and start your website from scratch. This must be done to avoid possible conflicts between the plugins.
I have used both versions and I much prefer the flexibility of the WooCommerce version for the following reasons:
- The vast amount of choices in themes
- The ability to modify components and display pages
- I like that all the tools and plugins I use with a standard WordPress theme
(I find the “built-in” tools in the AliDropship themes less flexible to work with)
I find the AliDropship original themes to look like out of the box clones on many other sites.
If you want a more exclusive store with one-of-a-kind design or to better match your BRANDING then WooCommerce version is the best solution.
Once again, choose wisely. Remember you CANNOT import, export or transfer anything between versions.

Custom Stores Summary
The Staff at AliDropship are helpful and have flexible options in helping you create the eCommerce store you desire. The price of the custom store can be very different from the posted price because of addon plugins and other options. You would best consult your Personal Manager.
A ready-made store does not guarantee its success. You will have to be consistent in working on ways to advertise and market your store. You will have to realize that it may take some time before you see consistent results.
Do not give up quickly and especially with search. Oftentimes it takes between a few and many months for products to appear in SEO results.
This issue can of course can be resolved by advertising. A targeted campaign can be your best asset when beginning your store.
You should also have an advertising budget before ordering an AliDropship Custom Store.

Conclusion
I have found the AliDropship plugin very reliable and useful. Out of all the “flakey product importing crap” I’ve paid good money for over the years, the AliDropship plugin is by far the best I’ve used thus far. Especially at the ONE-TIME price they offer it for.
I love the auto-update of prices and inventories feature and the general overall integration with the AliExpress website. The Chrome import extension is very handy as well.
Auto order filling to Aliexpress is also a huge time saver. It’s kinda like having a VA.
I would highly recommend the Alidropship Plugin along with the support I’ve received.
Note: I did not purchase a custom store so I could not review that section.
