Just before you give up on your AliExpress suppliers, there’s still hope for you. You’ve probably been disappointed by the long shipping times and lack of professionalism by AliExpress.
If you’re a beginner intending to get into dropshipping, let me say, you’re quite lucky, to bump into this blog post. Why? Because in this article, you’ll learn how to integrate AliExpress with Spocket through Aliscraper.
With AliExpress’s big database of products and Spocket’s credibility, you’ll have the ultimate successful dropshipping store on steroids.
But first things first, let’s get you started here.
If you’re an old dog in dropshipping, I’m sure this comes as great news to you.
How it’s Going to Work
Aliscraper is a chrome extension that allows you to import products from AliExpress to your Spocket store. And don’t worry, Aliscraper is compatible with almost all types of E-commerce platforms such as Shopify, Big Commerce, Wix, Square, Squarespace, Felex, Woocommerce, and Ecwid.
With an active Spocket account, you’ll be able to log in to AliExpress through Aliscraper. You’ll then select all your desired products, which you’ll import to your Spocket account. When you finally get orders, Spocket will automatically fulfill these orders. Easy Peasy!
Let’s Get Started
To get started with importing products to your Spocket store, the first step is to download Aliscraper Chrome extension. Ensure that you’re using the Google Chrome web browser in order to accomplish this. Now, navigate to your Spocket account, and on the left sidebar, click on AliExpress.
Proceed with the instructions, and you should be able to install the extension.
In order to access Aliexpress through spocket, simply navigate to Aliexpress, then select Aliscraper extension and a spocket login tab will appear.
After logging in, you’ll browse through listings based on desire. You can filter products by shipping method and shipping destination.
For example: If you’ve searched for womens’ hoodies, and would like to filter according to shipping method & destination; simply click on the Aliscraper extension while on the page. It will give you a small tab where you can choose your ideal shipping destination and the shipping method.
Like in the above example, I’d like to filter the listing according to women’s hoodies with “United Kingdom” as the destination and “Aliexpress standard shipping” as the shipping method.
You can further filter your listing by enabling the “Hide items without above options” in order to filter items based on ratings.
Importing products to your Spocket store
Once you have identified your desired listings, Spocket makes it easy to directly import them to your store. You can import your products in 3 major ways.
- Click on an individual/single listing and on the right bottom corner, you’ll see an option to “import to Spocket”. Alternatively, you can click on your Aliscraper extension while on the single listing, and you’ll see a button to “import product to Spocket“
- After doing your search for a particular product; on the listing that appears you can simply hover on each product, and you’ll see an option to “import to Spocket”. It’s an easy way to import products without going to each individual page.
- Perhaps the easiest way to import products to your Spocket store is to do it in bulk. To achieve this, navigate to the homepage of Aliexpress and identify particular categories of interest to you. For example: Under featured categories, I have identified the “kids category” as my desired category. Once I click on it, I’ll be redirected to the Kids collection, and on the bottom right corner I’ll see the option to “Bulk import products to Spocket”. However, it takes some time before your imported products appear on your imported products on Spocket.
Aliscraper Reverse Image Search Tool
Aliscraper has a smart tool known as the “Aliscraper reverse image search tool”. With this tool, you can get any product picture on the internet, and let the tool search for the product on Aliexpress.
For example, I found a cool hoodie picture on the web and wanted to search for it on Aliexpress. All I had to do was right-click on it, and click on the “Search Aliexpressby this image” option.
Upon clicking, I was redirected to an Aliscraper page, that identified a list of similar products.
Alternatively, you can upload the image of the product from your local device to Aliscraper image search tool on app.aliscraper.com
Ensure that you have downloaded the Aliscraper chrome extension for this to work.
Finding winning products
Finding winning products is of importance if you’re to be successful with your dropshipping store. As such, Spocket has quite an effective method for identifying winning products, via Aliscraper.
Upon searching for your desired product on the search bar on Aliexpress, click on any product, to go to the single listing. Besides the single listing, you’ll find a “Recommended products” button. Upon clicking, you’ll be redirected to a list of popular winning products, and you can directly import them to your Spocket store.
Orders & Fulfillment
Once you’ve imported all your desired listings from Aliexpress, you will have a fully functioning Spocket store where buyers can make orders.
Upon receiving orders, navigate to “my orders” on the left sidebar of your dashboard. You will then need to check out the products in order for Spocket to fulfill them. You have the option to bulk checkout in case you have more than one product on your list.
