Start dropshipping with AliExpress

Dropshipping lets you sell products without holding inventory. Saleporia's AliExpress integration handles importing, pricing, syncing, and fulfillment.

   Authorize

   Approve the connection. You'll return to the admin with a Connected status.

2. Set pricing rules

Before importing, go to Sourcing → Pricing rules and set how you'll price imported products. A multiplier of 1.4–1.6 (40–60% margin) is a common starting point. Preview the effect on a sample cost before saving.

3. Find and import products
