Configuration Section Overview 

The Configuration Section in the AliExpress Shopify Connector gives you control over how products, pricing, and orders sync between Shopify and AliExpress. You can update these settings anytime to align with your business operations.

This section includes three tabs:

• Product Settings
  
  

• Price Rule
  
  

• Order Settings
  
  

• Advanced Mapping
  
  

Product Settings

Title Optimization

Define how product titles appear on AliExpress. Combine elements like Product Type, Handle, and Title, or add SEO-friendly keywords for better visibility.

Tip: Leaving this blank defaults to the Shopify product title.

Product Automation Settings

Manage automation between Shopify and AliExpress:

• Product Auto Update – Automatically sync Shopify changes (price, inventory, etc.) to AliExpress.
  
  

• Product Auto Upload Variations – New Shopify variants are auto-uploaded to AliExpress.
  
  

• Product Auto Upload If Type Changed – If a product changes from simple to variant, update AliExpress automatically. (The simple listing is replaced by the variant listing.)
  
  

• Product Auto Create – Automatically create AliExpress listings for new Shopify products.
  
  

• Product Auto Delete – Automatically delete AliExpress listings if a product is deleted in Shopify.
  
  

Inventory and Currency Settings

• Threshold Inventory – Define a stock buffer (e.g., 2). When inventory falls below this, the product is marked Out of Stock on AliExpress to prevent overselling.
  
  

• Currency Conversion – Set conversion between Shopify store currency and AliExpress currency (e.g., 1 INR = 1 USD).
  
  

Order Management Options

• Shopify Order Name as AliExpress Order ID – Use AliExpress order ID in Shopify records.
  
  

• Bifurcate Tax in Orders – Show tax breakdown in Shopify orders.
  
  

• Customer Email in Order – Sync customer email from AliExpress into Shopify. If disabled, a placeholder (e.g., buyerid@aliexpress.com) is used.
  
  

• Customer Email in Shopify Email – Show customer email in Shopify’s main field. If disabled, it is stored in the notes.
  
  

• Remove AliExpress Discount From Orders – Exclude AliExpress discounts from Shopify orders.
  
  

• Remove Shipping Cost – Exclude shipping charges from Shopify order records.
  
  

• Sync Order – Enable automatic syncing of AliExpress orders into Shopify.
  
  

Custom Sync and Attribute Settings

• Custom Sync Setting – Control which product details sync from the app to AliExpress (Title, Description, Price, Weight, Images). Disabling means Shopify defaults are used.
  
  

• Attribute Sync Settings – Choose which attributes (Price, Stock, Images, Category & Attributes) sync. Unchecked attributes will not be updated.
  
  

Price Rule Tab

AliExpress pricing is global. You can set standard pricing logic to adjust Shopify prices before they sync to AliExpress.

Options:

• Fixed Increment/Decrement – Add or subtract a fixed value.
  
  

• Percentage Increment/Decrement – Increase or decrease by a percentage.
  
  

• Multiply – Multiply the Shopify price by a set value.
  
  

• None – Use Shopify price directly.
  
  

Which Price to Apply:

• Apply to Regular Price, Sale Price, or both.
  
  

Optional:

• Disable Sale Price – Use only Regular Price on AliExpress, ignoring Shopify Sale Price.
  
  

Tip: This is useful if you run promotions in Shopify but don’t want them reflected on AliExpress.

Order Settings

These options help you manage how orders are synced and displayed between Shopify and AliExpress.

• Sync Order – Enable to automatically sync AliExpress orders into Shopify.
  
  

• Shopify Order Name as AliExpress Order ID – Enable to display the AliExpress order ID inside Shopify order names.
  
  

• Bifurcate Tax in Orders – Enter a percentage if you want tax shown separately in orders.
  
  

• Including → Tax is calculated on total price.
  
  

• Excluding → Tax is calculated on base price without tax.
  
  

• Customer Email in Order – Enable to include customer emails in Shopify orders.
  
  

• If disabled, a placeholder (e.g., buyerid@aliexpress.com) or a custom email value is used.
  
  

• Customer Email in Shopify Email – Enable to display customer email in the Shopify order’s email field.
  
  

• If disabled, the customer email appears in the order notes instead.
  
  

• Remove AliExpress Discount from Orders – Enable to exclude AliExpress platform discounts from imported orders.
  
  

• Remove Shipping Cost – Enable to exclude shipping charges from imported orders.
  
  

Tip: Keep “Sync Order” enabled to avoid missing orders, and only use “Remove Discounts/Shipping” if you want a simplified cost breakdown in Shopify.

Advanced Mapping Tab

For backend mapping and logistics alignment.

Shipping Carrier Mapping

• Map your Shopify shipping methods to AliExpress carriers.
  
  

• Enter your Shopify carrier name → Select AliExpress carrier from the dropdown.
  
  

• Multiple mappings supported.
  
  

Note: Orders will not sync unless carriers are mapped correctly.

Warehouse Mapping

• Map Shopify warehouses to AliExpress warehouses.
  
  

• Only mapped warehouses will sync stock.
  
  

• Shopify applies its own rules for stock deductions during order creation.
  
  

Notes

• Always click Save after making changes.
  
  

• Review configurations regularly to keep settings aligned with your operations.
  

The Configuration Section ensures your Shopify store syncs smoothly with AliExpress — with automated product handling, accurate pricing, correct inventory, and seamless order management.
