API imports unavailable products (EU EPR)

[spoo]

The API obviously is referring only to the US-Market.

I am in Germany = EU.

This not only means with using the API I get imported wrong prices (too low), but also I get imported products which are unavailable for my country!

Last year I listet some products from a supplier, which has this year ceased to send to the EU because of the EPR complicance.
I do not want to delete those products totally, because the supplier might change his mind and make them available again - and there is a lot of work in it.

Now, since using the API these products are available in my shop again!

For example:

https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005003891543394.html

When I open this page from my computer, I get the attached image. (In English: "This product is unavailable at your location")
But on my shop the necklace is now available to buy.

So thanks to the new API, now I offer articles in my shop which I never can deliver.


The reference only to US is an error and not working! Please change this!

Also, it is a catastrophe that the tracking is not working since weeks - or even months aleady!??

This all creates very unhappy customers!


But there is one thing also that is great! Since the API is referring to USD prices, we do not have the daily price changes for the currency fluctuation, which are usually only a few cent each day. That I appreciate. (-:

Thank you,
Sandra

No - no new version, so no solved problem. You can do a workaround for the prices with the VAT settings in WooCommerce. Then it fits more closely to what it should be at leat (the setting is called "enter prices without VAT")

I got an answer by mail from Alidropship. Problem is that API selects the US prices, so we have the problem with the wrong EU prices. They said the issue will be addressed. Hope soon!

Thank you, Flo!

Hopefully everything will be sorted out as soon as possible, I cut my margin on a few sales before I realised.

I received this reply from aliexpress about the incorrect prices in €.

Hello,
The point is that to import prices correctly, you need to select USD and the USA in your AliExpress settings. And in your plugin's settings, please, select USD as a default currency and add Euro as an additional currency. You need to re-import products with these settings, and it should solve the issue with prices.
Our developers are now working on solving the prices issue for other regions, and the USA works correctly.
Please let us know if the problem persists.

Thanks for the feedback from AliExpress. Problem would be by selecting the USA that you get variants and shipping fees, which will not fit EU countries.
