AliDropship Woo Plugin Review: WooCommerce Plugin?
In this AliDropship Woo review, you’ll find answers to several questions you’ve had about the WooCommerce version of the AliDropship plugin.
And as well as the difference between Alidropship and Alidropship woo!
We often hear that drop shipping business is one the easiest and hassle-free business you can start right away! Well, I don’t intend to argue that, because in the actual sense it’s kind of easy.
The fact that you don’t need a huge capital to start, or for the fact that you don’t need to own a product inventory of your own.
All you need to do is receive orders from your customer and forward them to your supplier. The supplier then takes it over from there. I bet you know all this already!
But however cool as it may sound, there is still some routine tied to drop shipping that is never easy. A routine like, manually importing products from AliExpress and re-editing them before you upload them.
This could practically take weeks.
Or better still, Imagine you get to know that your product is out of stock from your supplier! And this is right after you receive an order for the product.
How do you intend to manage such challenges?
Well, the best thing to do in that kind of situation is to source for another supplier immediately.
But my point here is, with the help of the plugin you won’t have experienced such challenges in the first place.
So, whats this WooCommerce dropshipping plugin we are talking about? What are the features, pros, and cons and how can it assist or scale-up my dropshipping business?
Just keep reading and see as we unveil everything in the Alidropship Woo review.

AliDropship Plugin vs AliDropship Woo – what are the clear differences
Chances are you’ve heard about the default Alidropship Plugin and its great features. Most times people are often confused as to which to buy.
This is because they don’t know the clear difference between the default plugin (AliDropship) and the WooCommerce plugin AliDropship Woo. As part of the AliDropship Woo review, we’ll be exploring the differences of both plugins.
The difference between AliDropship and AliDropship Woo:
The default AliDropship plugin comes with both versions of the plugin; the regular version and the WooCommerce version.
If you, therefore, go for the default AliDropship plugin you won’t have to buy them separately (WooCommerce inclusive)
Furthermore, the major difference between the two is the additional features that come with the default AliDropship plugin, most especially the AliDroship marketing tools. This includes:
- Abandoned cart
- Email list
- Cross-sell
- Discounts
AliDropship Woo, on the other hand, does not include the additional features. This is because they can easily be accessed using WooCommerce.
Or better still, your options for customizing your WooCommerce –based store is actually unlimited because of its flexibility.
Using WooCommerce gives you the choice to freely choose and install any additional WooCommerce plugins you may need to fix your specific goals.
Which Version Should You Use?
Both versions work perfectly fine, but it all depends on your skills and preferences.
One of the reasons while you should choose the AliDropship Woo, might include:
- You having a deep understanding of WooCommerce already
- You already have a WooCommerce store and you want to easily add products to it from AliExpress
- Wanting to enjoy the great functionalities WooCommerce offers for running an online store
On the other hand, you can choose the default AliDropship plugin if:
- If you are on the fence and don’t know which one to start with.
- Maybe you are new to drop shipping and eCommerce as a whole.
- You want to build a brand new online store from scratch.
- You need a full solution package that contains all the necessary features. So you won’t have to search, install and pay any additional fee for new plugins.
Installing The AliDropship Woo Plugin
Upon your purchase, you will be redirected to the download page where you can download your plugin. You will also receive an email with the download links and your license key.
Now, you need to install the plugin. In your WordPress dashboard go to >> Plugins and click ‘Add New’ then >> ‘Upload Plugin’. After this, choose the file to upload and click ‘Install now’
Once the plugin is installed you can now activate it.
After this, go to ‘Appearance’ click >> ‘Themes’ and then >> ‘Add New Theme’. The plugin supports standard Woo themes. You may also check the AliDropship theme page to see from the variety of Woo themes they offer and download if you want.
Click ‘Activate’ after installing the theme.
Finally, go to AliDropship Woo to enter your license key. You should probably know that your personal license key is valid for one domain name only. If you have the intention of creating another store you can only deactivate the license key from the current store and activate it on the new one.
Enter your license key and click ‘Activate’
In conclusion
To sum it up, AliDropship Woo is the best choice for your dropshipping business. If you are familiar with WooCommerce functionalities.
The interface is user-friendly and very easy to use. What could cost you weeks will only cost you a matter of minutes. And there is no limit to the number of products you can automatically import with the plugin.
The plugin also comes with a 45 days money-back guarantee and cost a one-time fee of $89.
However, if you are just trying out drop shipping and have little or no experience with WooCommerce. The default version of the plugin (AliDropship) will be your best choice because it comes with both versions.
They practically have the same functionality but differ in some features. And all the features the AliDropship Woo lacks can be gotten through the WooCommerce platform.
Probably for free or not, depending on the plugin.
P.S: you could also order a custom store from AliDropship if you lack the skills and time to create one. I’ve written a detailed review of the custom store, you can also check it out.
