That is awesome, Setox! Thanks.


Hey Yaros, can you recommend a palce to buy SSL green bar https certificate for my site?
Have you heard of Let's Encrypt? It's an organization that offers free SSL certificates, but it's fairly complicated to integrate. UNLESS your hosting service has it built in - because there is a way to add it to cPanel and just click activate. My websites are now all SSL, with a fresh certificate every three months.

To get the green tick, you just need to have a valid certificate and make sure all the resources (such as images) are loaded through HTTPS and not HTTP.
 
What is the best platform this Aliexpress dropshipping? With Shopify, themes are very much limited unless you purchase premium themes which I think is quite pricey. Wix is best for customization. What about Wordpress + Woo Commerce?
 
Hello everyones , this is a little step by step on how to integrate tracking in your Dropshipping store so that your customers can track their orders without leaving your website . , i'll use 17track external call script to do that . 17 track is a popular Tracking tool support +170 carriers including all major china carriers , i've been using it myself as a customer in aliexpress & saw a lot of peoples do so . So since we dropship from ali , it's the best choice i think .

Step 1 : Install & activate the wordpress Plugin "Code Embed" , it's a plugin that allow us to embed HTML & javascript code inside wordpress posts& pages .

Step 2 : Go & create a new page in your site , give it a name like : "Tracking" or " Shippment tracking" .

Step 3 : Write some instructions on it , like "You can track your orders here " ..etc
- Inside the editor , insert the embed code : %CODE% . this is the default value , you can change it by going to ==> "Settings" ==> "code embed" in your Wordpress dashboard .

Step 4 : Automatticly after you insert the value , a custom field will appear under your Editor with the Name you insert + a field to insert the code .

Everything went smoothly when i was trying to integrate code embed until that step. I type %code% in my page but no field is generated where i can insert the embed code. However if i vew the page i get "Code Embed: No embed code was found for CODE1" where the embed code should be, which means it is working, halfly.
 
Hello Hello
I have bought your plugin, and all I can say is a GREAT PLUGIN.

I have a question,
When someone orders from my site, I change the status to Processing (easy peasy)
then when shipped, I change it to shipped! (I know this)

But how can I include the tracking number in the email?

Should I send them a separate email containing the tracking number manually?
For this moment I am sending tracking manually. Later an automated system will be integrated.
 
omg... where is the support??? I already sent an email yesterday... still no replies..

I only get 1 day off this week and I cannot work on my site because of LICENSING PROBLEM! I KEEP GETTING WRONG SITE...
All support tickets are usually answered in next 12 hours. If you want it more fast contact me directly on Skype: yarosnevsky.

your custmers engagement .

WOW, great stuff! I will integrate it, thank you very much!
 
You can justify the long shipping times by focusing on the superior pricing. Customers wont mind waiting for savings in many cases.
 
Hey does anyone know why my lay-out of the products is messed up on desktop version of my website? I've contacted support and they told me it'll be fixed in next update of the Da Vinci theme, but still the same and I updated it today to version 0.5.2. Mobile version is okay though. Here is what I'm talking about:

@PukeMonkey is from your side cuz i didnt saw nobody complaining about this...

At me is ok...maybe is from your browser ? Have you tried to clear cache, cookies ?!
 
Now you can check what new features are added to the plugin here: https://alidropship.com/updates-plugin/

Hello,

Can you add on the change log WHICH FILES were edited/updated???

I have modified a lot on the backend side of my site.. php/css/js and etc...

I do not want to UPDATE without knowing which files needs to stay...

If I update now... it will obliterate all the changes I have added to my site...
 
But hey Yarooos

Why did you choose to put 4 mailing services while it is possible to send notifications through Hosting and Wordpress
like Wocommerce and other plugins do?

it is much better, easier, unlimited and free.

It would be great if you add this possibility in future updates. wouldn't you?

Bro, you can create a child theme. There are lots of tutorials on how to do that.

When you create a child theme which will be connected to the main theme,
you will be able to edit your child theme the way you want (php, css, etc.)

Consequently, your main theme will take those changes without being changed directly.

When you update the main theme, your child theme that contains the changes will stay as it is,
which means, your changes will stay even when you update your main theme.

Problem resolved.

Hey, did you know you can also track with Aftership? It supports 365 couriers worldwide. I am using it now but was wondering about your thoughts on this tracking system. Thanks.

I have had this too. I noticed it when i had articles in 2 or more categories, then this will happen. I don't know exactly if this update helped me solve it though. Why don't you try only using one categorie for a product that now is placed in 2 categories. Only to see if you had the same problem. Let me know, thanks!

Hey kevgl, yeah I have the same even if its a single category. For instance my cateogry Toys doesnt have subcategories but still has a messed-up lay out. So you don't have this issue anymore?

But this one is for woocomerce right? Does not work with alidropship or does it? I tried it and couldn't find the plugin option in the menu after activating it.

I don't think it just for Woocommerce. I am only using Wordpress + AliDropShip.
When you have an account go to 'Features' & click on 'Apps' and you will see 'Track Button', you can also add Google Analytics to it.

I added some more items after your reply and i still have it.. The Da Vinci update (to 0.5.2) did not resolve this unfortunately. However if i delete just some items it can be well configured, but i know this is not a normal 'solution'.
Still looking into this on how to fix this but i have a lot of issues connecting and/or logging into Ali atm.
