Click "Import to List" or "Push to Store." The product is now in your draft products section. You can then edit the description, add your own branding, and publish. 3 Pro-Tips for Using Sourcing Extensions 1. Don't import the default description The biggest mistake newbies make is clicking "Publish" immediately. The description from AliExpress is SEO poison (grammar errors, weird formatting). Use the extension to get the images and specs , but rewrite the description yourself. 2. Check the "Ship Out" time A good extension will show you the processing time (e.g., 3-7 days). If you see "7-15 days," do not import that product. Customers expect 5-10 day shipping max. 3. Use the "Variant Mapping" feature If you are selling t-shirts, AliExpress might call "Small" -> "S." The extension lets you map "S" to display as "Small (US Fit)" on your store. Do this once, and it remembers forever. The Modern Reality: DSers vs. Oberlo If you are reading this in 2025/2026, you cannot download the original Oberlo Chrome Extension for a new store. Shopify discontinued it in favor of DSers (which is actually more powerful).

You can spend hours manually scrolling through AliExpress, copying descriptions, downloading images, and praying the supplier is reliable. Or, you can work smarter.

Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for "DSers AliExpress Dropshipping" (or Oberlo if you are a legacy user). Click "Add to Chrome."

Go to AliExpress. Search for a niche—e.g., "heated scarf" or "pet grooming glove."
