## Description

#### POWERFUL TOOL TO GROW YOUR ONLINE STORE FAST

Alister is a free powerful tool that will help your online store grow and expand
by adding products from AliExpress website. You can add one or multiple AliExpress
product links to your own inventory table. It’s like having a warehouse full of 
products ready for import.

#### GOLD MINE OF ALIEXPRESS PRODUCTS

If you don’t have a lot of time to search for the best products on AliExpress, Alister
will do that for you. You can add your own ‘import rules’ using criteria such as
product, seller ratings etc and ask Alister to fill your inventory for example on
a weekly basis. This way you will stay on top of the selling trends and never run
out of new products in your store.

#### LIKE A DIGITAL WAREHOUSE FULL OF STOCK

All the product links that you or Alister add automatically, will land in the inventory
table. From here you can briefly preview the item and ‘load’ it to the product editor.
The best part is that you can select multiple products and they will load to a new
tab ‘GROUP’ of products that you can edit simultaneously to be even faster.

#### AI GENERATOR FOR THE PRODUCT TITLE AND DESCRIPTION

This tool will do the creative writing for you. With the AI generator you can have
a new title & description of the product within a few clicks.

#### EASY TO USE PRODUCT EDITOR

Change the product details, add more images, set the prices and edit the product
variations all on one page. There’s even a Translator tool to help you be more efficient
with languages when translating product properties.

#### PRICE SYNCHRONISATION AND RULES

Set up your product price rules (use a multiplier field to multiple AliExpress price
i.e. x 2) to be synchronised with AliExpress prices. So if they change the price–
it will change accordingly on your website.

#### EXPERT SUPPORT

Our team is always happy to hear from you and provide incredible support. Ask your
questions in the support forum or contact us directly.

#### GET STARTED

Installation is free, quick, and easy. Alister doesn’t require account creation.

#### FEATURES

 * import one or multiple AliExpress products at once
 * inventory table with preview of the products
 * automatic import for products according to your criteria on AliExpress
 * AI product title generator
 * AI product description generator
 * Save your own product description templates for later
 * Interactive picture gallery with drag and drop feature
 * Set up your own pricing rules
 * Automatic price adjustment: for example if a supplier on AliExpress increases
   their prices, your prices will increase accordingly
 * Product variations editor
 * Translate feature for the product properties

#### HOW TO USE TO ALISTER (SIMPLIFIED VERSION)

 1. Paste one or multiple AliExpress product links and hit ‘add’ button to add the 
    products to the inventory table below.
 2. Optional: set up the import rules

Firstly, set your own criteria of what kind of products you would like to add to
the inventory table. For example, maybe you want to have top ten best rated cat 
beds imported on a weekly basis (btw this is called polling).

Give this rule a name ex.: ‘Top selling cat beds’.

Paste the URL to the cat bed category on AliExpress OR search on AliExpress for ‘
cat beds’ and paste the link with the results.

Next, decide on a product and seller’s rating (product rating, seller rating) and
how many times the item was sold (orders). ‘Limit’ means how many cat beds you would
like to import each time and how often (polling).

Lastly, set the language, destination and currency of your shop.

Hit ‘check’ button to see if your criteria worked according to your expectations(
you can click on each product link generated). If so, you can already hit ‘import’
and add those products to the inventory table and also ‘save’ the rule.

 1. Load the product or multiple products to the product editor.
 2. Add a few properties and generate the title and description.
 3. Edit the product description.
 4. Choose the images.
 5. Set up the pricing rule.
 6. Choose the variations you’d like to import.
 7. Finally, click import and follow the new permalink to preview your new product 
    online.

It is a super easy to use plugin, I’ve got surprised with the capacity that is offered.
I can easily build an e-commerce site and sell products, that’s a great innovation
for our community. Nice job!

I’ve been using the Alister WooCommerce plugin to import products from AliExpress
for a few months now, and I’m really happy with it. It’s a very easy-to-use plugin
that makes it a breeze to add products to my store. I especially like the fact that
I can import products in bulk, which saves me a lot of time. This is a great plugin
because it allows me to import products category-wise by putting category links 
even you don’t need to install any extension. Overall, I’m really happy with the
Alister WooCommerce plugin. It’s a great tool for anyone who wants to import products
from AliExpress. I would definitely recommend it to others.

This can’t get any easier to use: copy&paste either the URL or the ID, it automatically
starts to do its thing. If it can get what it needs, you are well on your way. If
for some reason it cannot process the URL (like if the product isn’t available to
be shipped to your location), it errors out. The message could be more verbose but
that is really nitpicking. The AI is BRILLIANT. No more broken English or culturally
incorrect wording. Instead you get a configurable number of options to us. Select
one and it drops it in the description. Move down and verify the images are ok. 
Select what variations you want to process (including being able to change the variation
label to something you want – NICE!!), then set your price multiplier (including
the shipping if desired). Double check that things look ok, then either push to 
draft or publish. The only glitch I’ve come across – and it might not be a glitch
but instead Ali-foolery, is that sometimes shipping comes up with a cost when the
Ali says its free (better than the alternative) and randomly, the Ali price is WAAAAAAAAAAY
off, like an $8 widget on Ali comes up as a $6000 item in Alister. This is random
and repeatable on the same item so suspect something is lost in translation or Ali
is playing weird. Just push to draft and fix the numbers. Oh, and if you don’t set
a price, it puts it out of stock. Overall, I’m completely pleased with this plugin.
Kudos!
