What you need
Section titled “What you need”An AliExpress account. There is no API key. You sign in to AliExpress and approve Posty5, and Posty5 renews that access by itself.
Connect it
Section titled “Connect it”Open “Suppliers”, press “Connect a supplier”, choose AliExpress and sign in. Settings — “Main destination”, the country prices and stock are read for, “Ship from warehouse”, and an optional “Shipping service”.
Paste full product links, the kind that contain /item/ followed by a number. Shortened AliExpress links cannot be read. Open one in your browser and copy the full link instead.
Items from different AliExpress sellers become separate AliExpress orders, one per seller, all inside one part of your order.
Paying the supplier
Section titled “Paying the supplier”Posty5 tries to pay through your AliExpress account. If AliExpress refuses because the account is not approved to pay this way, the part shows “Pay at the supplier”. Pay on AliExpress, and Posty5 notices the payment by itself.
“Promise to sell” cannot be used with an AliExpress connection that you pay by hand.
AliExpress orders cannot be withdrawn through Posty5. Cancel them on AliExpress.
Status and tracking
Section titled “Status and tracking”AliExpress sends no notifications, so Posty5 checks open orders about every 30 minutes for status and tracking.
Test mode
Section titled “Test mode”AliExpress has no sandbox. A test connection can browse and import, but never places an order. Your balance is not shown either, because AliExpress does not report one.
