Connect your AliExpress account to Importify through the Settings page and authorize the API connection. This one-time setup enables automated importing and fulfilling AliExpress products.
Before You Begin: Make sure you have an active AliExpress account and are logged into your Importify dashboard. This connection is essential for importing products with all the information and order fulfillment.
Step-by-Step Connection Process:
Access Settings Navigate to your Importify dashboard. Look at the left sidebar menu and click on "Settings." This takes you to where all your integration configurations are managed.
Find the API Section In the Settings page, scroll down until you find the "AliExpress API connection" section. You'll notice a blue "Connect" button on the right side - this is what you'll need to click next.
Start Authorization Click the "Connect" button. A new window will open, taking you to the AliExpress Open Platform login page. This is AliExpress's secure authorization system.
Login to AliExpress On the authorization page, you'll see two fields:
Enter your AliExpress email address or username
Type in your AliExpress password If you're already logged into AliExpress, these fields may be pre-filled.
Grant Permissions After entering your credentials, you'll see a permissions request screen. Importify needs these permissions to:
Access your basic AliExpress account information
Verify your login status
Connect with your AliExpress shop
Simply check the "I agree" box at the bottom and click the orange "Authorize" button.
Complete Connection You'll be automatically redirected back to Importify. The API connection status should now show as connected with a green indicator.
What's Next? Once connected, you can start importing products from AliExpress to your store. The connection will remain active until you disconnect it, and you won't need to repeat this process unless you sign out.
Troubleshooting Tips:
If the connection fails, try logging out of AliExpress completely and logging back in
Clear your browser cache if you encounter any errors
Ensure you're using a supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge)
Check that your AliExpress account is in good standing
Technical Notes: This connection uses secure OAuth2 authentication and needs to be performed from the same browser where you're logged into your AliExpress account. Keep your AliExpress credentials secure and never share them with unauthorized users.
