Aliexpress Dropshipping – Or you can say how to start your online eCommerce store? Thankfully you are starting your business in 2018. That means you have TONS of options to start your online Aliexpress dropshipping business.

I will try to Explore the options and how you can start your online store in no time.  There are a couple of important factors you must ponder upon.

So, let’s start one by one. You have two choices at the moment primarily for the e-commerce platform.

• Saas-based Shopping cart  – Ex – Shopify, Bigcommerce, Volusion.
• Open source Free Shopping cart – Ex – Magento, Opencart, Prestashop, woocommerce.

The above part is critical because everything will depend on it. Let me start with Open source options first and those are FREE and the code is open source so you can run your store without even investing a single penny.

Magento is for sure the world’s most popular e-commerce platform. You can download the source code from the Magento website and start your eCommerce business without investing any money.

Product Inventory source is the biggest problem for new e-commerce stores. Here comes the aliexpress, using that you can add the product from aliexpress to Magento / Magento 2.

But adding products one by one consumes a lot of time. That’s why you should use product automation and order automation tools for that.
