Sharkdropship & affiliate for AliExpress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 61% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 400+ in roughly 405 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Free version has import limit, when you reach that limit then ask for payment to upgrade to a premium version.

   I use their plugin, but when I asked for supporting on my plugin issues by email, they just blacklisted my email without a reason. This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by pxmalye.

   This extension works very poorly, error messages poorly documented. In short, buying this extension is throwing money out the window.

   UPDATE: I am delighted to update this review. I’d give it 50 stars if I could. The developer contacted me and went above and beyond to make sure it worked well again. We are ecstatic to be able to use it again. This is our experience: If you are a marketplace seller and want your own WooCommerce store, this plugin will help you tremendously when importing your products. Dropshippers and affiliates – this is the one you want. If you experience a large usage increase in storage on your server, get a plugin like Imsanity or PNG to JPG to convert the images and save storage after importing products. Some marketplaces only export PNG images. eBay uses “time on site” as a metric (in my opinion). List there and import to your Woo shop. You might see a bump in sales. The plugin is fast and powerful. Easy to install and set up. The User Interface is beautifully uncluttered, has a lot of settings, and is easy to use. Try it – you will love it and your business will grow. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Wooshark, for an excellent solution and for your help! —————————————————————————- We are pro users and paid for it. We were so happy when we found this extension we purchased right away. It worked great and was exactly what we needed at the time. We moved to a new host and it stopped working two weeks ago. Same type of server, settings, etc. there is no reason why it stopped working. All others are working fine. Support does not reply with any interest, just canned solutions which do not apply. I don’t believe they read your messages at all. It’s a shame, really, it could be such a powerhouse. I am requesting a refund. This topic was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by acquamarina.

   The idea of what this plugin can do it’s great but in action many features are not working. Suddenly, I bought the enterprise version because I want to build more than one installation. The Cons: Slow support responses Price Formulas in multiselection it’s not working Video Import its not working Variations import has many conflicts with curious behavior Open AliExpress button in product page its not working Sync Orders to AliExpress (Tue function that places the products on AE) Update Price on daily basis not working, BUT, stock qty updated as well The process to choose categories in import are complex and hard to locate your categories if you have many of them If you choose split variations, then, adds in the main name of product thesuffix *|| AliExpress – Black* and you have to remove one by one Make’s some JS conflicts with woocommerce admin (in my case) This plugin has great plan but it needs fixes and a major update. If most of them fixed then GLWS because can make many many sales with satisfied customers. Till then, look for other plugins and compare the reviews. I’m saying goodbye to this plugin with sad feelings atm.

   The dashboard looks a bit plain and unprofessional. “Insert by Url” does absolutely nothing so your only options is to use “Search by keyword”. Once you do find the product you want to import, variants and prices are wrong. It even gives you variant names that dont even exist in aliexpress listing.
