Placing Modalyst Dropship Orders on AliExpress

It’s fast and simple to sync AliExpress orders with your store

Congratulations! You are now receiving orders for your store. It is quick and easy to sync orders for items sourced via AliExpress.

Modalyst will sync orders placed by customers on your store. These orders will be visible under Orders.

Before you sync your order, ensure that you have selected the correct shipping method. You can preselect the shipping method from the Import List selection. You can find out more about selecting your shipping method. To change the shipping method of your order, click the icon below it.

Click the button “Sync to AliExpress” to sync your order with AliExpress. This will sync your order to AliExpress automatically, with the item, variant and shipping method as well as customer details.

Push Sync to AliExpress and we’ll show you that your order is synced to your account. Push the Sync To AliExpress button to sync multiple orders at once. It doesn’t matter if the order is complete before you can sync another order.

After the order has been synced, click on this button to pay AliExpress. To be redirected directly to AliExpress, click on the button. The order has an AliExpress order number. This was automatically created when the order was synced to your AliExpress account.

The order will be paid and shipped by AliExpress. AliExpress orders must all be paid on AliExpress. All orders that include multiple items from the exact same supplier will be combined.

Due to the following reasons, the AliExpress total price may differ from AliExpress’s total.

• Shipping fees will be charged based on the shipping method you select in the Import List. They may vary slightly from time to time.
• Multiple items may be subject to different shipping fees.
• Shipping costs vary depending on the country where your customer is located
• AliExpress doesn’t give us tax information – these will be applied to any AliExpress order
• Modalyst prices are round – AliExpress will list the cost.

Your order will be marked “Payment being Verified” in AliExpress once it has been paid. After AliExpress has verified payment, the order will be marked as “Payment being Verified” in AliExpress. AliExpress will list the product as “Awaiting Shipment”

The supplier will then fulfill your order. AliExpress will notify when the order has been shipped. The tracking number and courier will be automatically synced to Modalyst. We then mark the order as fulfilled in Modalyst. We will automatically sync the courier and tracking numbers for you.

This will notify your customer as a default setting that it is sending the order!
