Configuration Overview 

The Configuration Section in the AliExpress WooCommerce Connector gives you control over how products, pricing, and orders sync between WooCommerce 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

• Advance Sync
  
  

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 WooCommerce product title.

Product Automation Settings

Manage automation between WooCommerce and AliExpress:

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

• Product Auto Upload Variations – New WooCommerce 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 WooCommerce products.
  
  

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

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.

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

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

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

• 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 WooCommerce 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 WooCommerce price by a set value.
  
  

• None – Use WooCommerce 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 WooCommerce Sale Price.
  
  

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

Order Settings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

• 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.

Advanced Mapping Tab

The Advanced Mapping tab helps align WooCommerce order and tax settings with AliExpress requirements.

• Choose Shipping Method
  
  

• Select the WooCommerce shipping method (e.g., Flat rate) that will be used to add shipping cost when creating an order.

• Select the applicable tax class from WooCommerce (e.g., Reduced rate).

• Map AliExpress order statuses to WooCommerce equivalents.
