You did not state which Alidropship plugin you are using. Original or Woocommerce.
Moving your products from the Original to Woocommerce .... Can't be done. You must start from scratch and re-import from Aliexpress.
Moving from Original plugin to Shopify........................................... Can't be done. You must start from scratch and re-import from Aliexpress.
Moving from Woocommerce to Shopify .......................................** CAN be done.
** Google is your friend: https://www.google.com/search?q=imp...ome..69i57.13939j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
The above is based on common sense, two minutes of Googling and basic database knowledge only. I have never exported/imported products from Alidropship to Shopify. For a definite answer, write to support@alidropship.com
But WHY anyone would want to move to Shopify with its exorbitant monthly fees is a mystery to me. Maybe because Shopify puts out a strong message on how easy it is for newbies and people are too lazy to go through any learning curve. (The same people who ultimately fail) I don't know. If one is serious about running a business as independently and economically as possible ... avoid Shopify. Just my opinion.
Probably because it can't be done. (with the Original plugin) Just like Woocommerce, Shopify would have a different database with different product tables than the Alidropship Original plugin. Shopify's database and product tables would also be different from Woocommerce's as well of course. An export/import conversion script or plugin would be needed and there are none for the Alidropship Original plugin. As for Woocommerce ... keep reading.

thank you for replying, so basically it can't be done since I use the original plugin.
I have various reasons to move to Shopify even though is more expensive:
1. Alidropship original plugin doesn't support Afterpay (which is very popular in Australia, and now in USA, UK, Canada).
2. I also sell to other countries where currencies do not use cents, this is imposible to do with the original plugin. I found out this puts customers off, so it is essential to my business.
What about this option: import all my products using csv files, and enter manually the ALiexpress URL once I start receiving orders for certain products... I think this could work. For doing this, I will be using the Alidropship plugin for Shopify. Your thoughts?

The AliWoo plugin and Woocommerce does.

Avoid rippoff Shopify like a pandemic, use the AliWoo plugin + Woocommerce and start from scratch.

I don't think so. If it is possible, switching from the original plugin to woo version would not be an issue.

There's an old thread by @kingpin on an overly complicated and not guaranteed method somewhere in this forum. That's the closest anyone has had any success with an Original to Woo product transfer.

That was posted long time ago. Despite the many users who want to switch to the woo version, never seen someone did it successfully with that post.

Share it has been having a lot of problems lately. I cant transfer any videos without it lowering the quality of them or transfer any work files without it deleting a part of the information. I tried using other apps from the windows store but they do not work well too. I am now temporarily using Jiotv for sharing videos and files but I hope I find a good and reliable app for sharing information at work. If someone has a solution to my problem, please contact me.
