How to get Access Token from AliExpress?

Skip to main content

When you begin importing or synchronizing products, shipping methods, product reviews, and other data, you may encounter the following token messages:

  • AliExpress access token is not found
  • AliExpress access token has expired

To resolve this, you need to obtain a new access token from AliExpress. Once retrieved, save it in the AliNext (formerly Ali2Woo) dropshipping plugin. After saving, the token will be automatically renewed for your convenience.

Please follow the instructions below to complete this process.

    I followed all the steps, but it still doesn’t work.

    I generated the Aliexpress API but it always gives the same error:
    “Placing orders from 0/1…
    Please install and link to your website the Ali2Woo google chrome extension to use this feature.”

    and everything is installed, all the same as this link of yours.

    What is the solution?

      It seems that Aliexpress has temporarily blocked your API token. Our research suggests that this can happen when you are actively syncing or importing products. Usually, the token becomes unlocked within a few days.

      We understand that you have already tried to refresh your token using the instructions from the article. However, you can attempt to generate a new token again in a few days. If Aliexpress unlocks your account, then you will be able to import products once again.

      As an alternative solution, we offer AliNext, which doesn’t use the Aliexpress API for product imports or syncing. This means that you won’t encounter any token-related issues while using AliNext. Additionally, AliNext is fully compatible with Ali2Woo, making migration easy. If you’re interested in using AliNext, please check out this page: AliNext plugin

    In the WordPress plugin – ali2woo-Account settings – Aliexpress API – click get actess token. I got an error message undefined while trying to get the access token. Please how to fix this??

      Hello, It appears that Aliexpress has placed a temporary block on your API token. Based on our research, this occurs when you actively sync or import products. Typically, the token is unlocked within a few days.

      You can try generating a new token later by following the instruction from this article.

      As an alternative solution, we offer AliNext, which doesn’t use the Aliexpress API for product imports or syncing. This means that you won’t encounter any token-related issues while using AliNext. Additionally, AliNext is fully compatible with Ali2Woo, making migration easy.

      Hello, it can be a cache issue. Try to use another browser or even another internet connection in order to make sure there is no cache issue.

    Do I have to apply for AliExpress Api in order to use your plugin? Aliexpress says it is not needed if I use a third party program like yours.. Is that correct?

    • Admin says:

      Yes, exactly, you don’t need to apply for AliExpress API.

  14. sami says:

    how ? also it’s happened with me , do i have to delete the old token key first ? because when im klick on get access token it’s open another page ( aliexpress open platform ) and when im applying my username and password i click on authorize but nothing it’s happen I’m still not getting the new access token key ! , can you please help

    • Admin says:

      No, you shouldn’t remove the old token; instead, you can simply obtain a new one. If the AliExpress portal doesn’t provide a new token right away, try again after some time. Additionally, consider using a different browser or internet connection, as the issue may be related to internet cache or an API timeout on the AliExpress side.
