    Variation Pricing

    It would be really helpful if updates created a log of the changes made. Something you could scan periodically to make sure things are okay. Alerts for large changes in price (perhaps over a set percentage) or inventory below a certain level would be helpful too.

    Why do I need a mailing service?

    Good to know. Thanks. Just checked Hostgator and Siteground. Hostgator says their cheap accounts are limited to 500 emails per hour! Suggesting a move to VPS if you need to send more. I could find no limit on Siteground. How many weeks would it set me back to switch to the Woo plug-in? What...

    Why do I need a mailing service?

    Thanks, I'll give them a try. Mailgun hasn't worked. And their support has been nonexistent. Six choices, one of them must be trustworthy. :-) Thanks.

    Why do I need a mailing service?

    Thanks for your response. I got into this email service provider stuff because the AliDropship Notification setup requires a choice of services. So I checked the reviews and found that the whole email service segment is a bit messy, with various levels of service, companies coming and going...

    Why do I need a mailing service?

    Thanks for your response, Victoria. Purchase Notification, Contact Us and Order Shipped are all simple synchronous operations. No automation required. Simple sending of email. I've been doing more research. For lower volumes of email one of the simple SMTP plug-ins sounds like it would be...

    Why do I need a mailing service?

    Yes, that article is why I posted this question. My website hosting account can send and receive (and even auto-respond to) email. Other parts of AliDropship can send email without additional services. Why do notifications of purchase, shipping and contact require yet another separate...

    Why do I need a mailing service?

    Okay, I'm new at this. (Though not to networks/computers/etc.) Perhaps I'm missing something. Maybe this is a dumb question. Why do I need a mailing service? I could understand if I had a huge amount of email, etc. But I don't. (Yet.) My hosting service (siteground) provides me with...

    Even more problems with this plugin (ship to - dropdown)

    Perhaps it's different where you are. My FAQ and other stuff own up as you suggest. But none of the rest of the site needs to remind the buyer that things are coming from China. Forcing the issue seems extremely counter productive. Expending all this effort for a perfect presentation then...

    Even more problems with this plugin (ship to - dropdown)

    This doesn't fix the page the customer sees. It's confusing and will probably chase them away.

    Even more problems with this plugin (ship to - dropdown)

    Sadly, the best vendors in my niche have multiple 'ship from' locations. Some of the products are simply not available from anyone else. And these are great products. But I can't get Alidropship to handle it without presenting bad things to the customer. What I want is to be able to force a...

    Update Prices Only if it Goes Up

    It would be great if there was a per-product multiplier or equation for price. Then you'd be protected against unexpected changes and different products could have different pricing schemes.

    Even more problems with this plugin (ship to - dropdown)

    Sadly, finding a different supplier isn't always easy. Or even possible. In some categories all the vendors seem to have multiple locations. One workaround is to enter the product(s) manually, and fulfill manually. Or import the products then turn off their automatic status -- somehow. It's a...
