Steps to Edit a Product

• Edit the description to improve clarity and AliExpress SEO.
  
  

2. Add Images

3. Review Inventory
   
   

• Confirm SKU and available stock levels.
  
  

• Ensures accurate product availability on AliExpress.
  
  

4. Verify Barcode & Brand

• These fields are often required for AliExpress compliance.
  
  

5. Set Pricing
   
   

• Enter Regular Price and, if needed, a Sale Price.
  
  

• If left blank or set to 0, only the Regular Price is pushed.
  
  

• Prices apply globally; no regional pricing is supported.
  
  

6. Confirm Weight

7. Check Profile & Status
   
   

• Shows which profile the product belongs to.
  
  

• Displays the current AliExpress status (e.g., Online Product, Pending).
  
  

8. Adjust Custom Sync Settings
   
   

• Decide which product details (Title, Price, Description, Weight, Images) sync automatically.
  
  

• Disable fields if you don’t want Shopify updates to overwrite AliExpress edits.
  
  

9. Set Attribute Sync Settings
   
   

• Choose which attributes (Price, Stock, Title, Description, Image, Category) update during sync.
  
  

• Uncheck fields to keep manual changes made directly on AliExpress.
  
  

10. Fill Attributes
    
    

• Complete all required fields:
  
  

• Required Attributes – Mandatory for listing.
  
  

• Product Qualification Attributes (GPSR) – Mandatory for EU sellers (e.g., Responsible Person info, label photos, warnings).
  
  

• Variation Attributes – Define product variations like size or color.
  
  

• Recommended Attributes – Optional but improve visibility and search ranking.
  
  

11. Save Changes
    
    

• After editing, click Save Attributes to apply updates and push changes to AliExpress.
  
  

Tips for Best Results:

• First image in the gallery is always the primary image on AliExpress.
  
  

• Pricing is global—regional pricing isn’t supported.
  
  

• To edit locked fields, disable sync at the product level.
  
  

• EU sellers must complete all GPSR-required fields to stay compliant.

The Product Section lets you fully manage your AliExpress listings—ensuring products are complete, compliant (GPSR for EU), and synced in real time with your Shopify store.
