Placing orders using the Chrome extension
The DropWired Chrome extension allows you to place orders received on your AliExpress imported items quickly.
The extension can be used to place an order for each product in an order separately or all in one order.
To order all products click the 'order all from aliexpress' button. To order a single product just click the 'order now' button for that product.
In order to proceed through the order process and for the Chrome extension to do it's job, you will need to already be logged into an AliExpress account before you click either of these buttons.
Placing an order
Once you click one of the order buttons you'll need to wait a few seconds for the Chrome extension to begin it's work.
The AliExpress website will open in a new tab in your browser, having already added the product(s) in the order to the basket and entering the shipping address. The Chrome extension will also set; a telephone number for the order, your selected default shipping method and add a note to the product in each order according to the default checkout settings you have selected.
You can select a different shipping method for a product in step 3 of the AliExpress process by clicking on the shipping method currently selected.
We always recommend checking the shipping cost/method selected for each item in an order before completing the order process to avoid unexpected shipping costs or delays in your customers receiving their order.
At step 2 you'll be asked to enter your payment information.
You can opt to save the card you use so that it does not need to be re-entered each time you make a purchase.
Once you've finalised and are happy with the order you can click the 'place order' button.
After placing your order
Once you've placed your order, wait for the AliExpress order confirmation page to appear. This allows the Chrome extension to sync with DropWired that the order has been placed successfully.
Once confirmed you can close the window and return to DropWired where you'll see the status of the products in the order has been changed to 'Ordered' and an AliExpress Order Number will be displayed for each.
If, for some reason, the Chrome extension does not update the status to ordered you can manually add the AliExpress Order Number from within your DropWired account.
To do so, select the 'mark as ordered' button and enter the AliExpress order number (which you can obtain from the 'my orders' page of your AliExpress account).
