Auto syncing and an increase-price rule

Price configuration

OptionSelling price
Same as AliExpressRegular price = AliExpress price; sale price = AliExpress sale price.
Custom PriceEvery product and variation gets the fixed amount you enter.
Increase PriceAliExpress prices raised by the percentage you enter.
Decrease PriceAliExpress prices lowered by the percentage you enter.
  • The rule is applied when a product is created and every time it is updated from AliExpress.
  • An empty or zero amount leaves the AliExpress price unchanged.
  • A price you type in the Chrome extension's edit dialog or in a CSV file overrides the rule for that product.
  • Prices are fetched in the Default Currency and are not converted to your store currency, so set it to match your store.

Not the same as Pricing Rules

The Pricing Rules tab sets your commission on warehouse sales, not selling prices. See Pricing Rules.

Auto sync

When auto syncing is enabled, the plugin periodically refreshes products assigned to a warehouse, updating their name, description, categories, price, stock, images, and variations from AliExpress. Products that are not assigned to any warehouse are not auto synced — refresh those with Update From AliExpress on the Imported Products List.
