How to synchronize products with AliExpress?

Ali2Woo can synchronize all imported products automatically to keep them updated. Also you can trigger synchronization manually for particular products.

By default every synchronization task updates product prices, stock and variants. You can change this behavior in the plugin settings and disable stock synchronization (for example).

Automatic synchronization

Ali2Woo tries to update as many products as possible during a day. However, it takes in account your daily updates quota. If it’s not possible to synchronize all products today, it will synchronize remaining items tomorrow.

For example: Consider your daily updates quota is 400 and you have 800 imported products in your store. Ali2Woo will synchronize all products for two days.

Automatic sync

If you enable the automatic synchronization in the plugin settings, Ali2Woo schedule the update tasks automatically. You can’t set the exact time when it performs automatic updates. However, it’s possible to synchronize products manually.

How to trigger manual synchronization?

In case if you want to update specific products only, follow the next steps:

  • Open the products list page in WordPress backend
  • Tick the products you want to be updated
  • Choose “AliExpress Sync” from the drop-down selection (bulk actions)
  • Click ‘Apply’ and wait until plugin updates selected products

Please note: you can run manual synchronization even you have disabled automatic synchronization.

    Do the products in the import list also get updated automatically, or only the products that were pushed to the website into their own product pages? also does the plugin update both published products and product drafts ?

    • Admin says:

      Plugin updates (sync) only published products which are not in trash/draft.
