Auto Category and Auto Add to Category?

[Raff]

I have purchase this plugin and currently building my website, i just realize that my niche has a lot of category needed.

I just want to ask is there an option that the plugin automatically Create category based on the imported product or add the product to specific category if the category is already added.

If this plugin doesn't have this feature, i think it is very useful feature for this plugin that needs to be added.

Another thing, how can I set FILTER? For example im on the product search result or specific product category, then a user has an option to filer the result let for example, for the shoes, i will filter the all the product that will display for a particular Shoe Size?

Thanks!

Hello , if you use Edit option in AliDropship extension you will see that you may select a category for your product or create a new one before the import.
As for More complicated filter options - we have it in plans , so we will implement them someday

I mean, after the product has been imported, is there an option to COPY the product's Category FROM aliexpress? So when i published the product, a newly category will be created based on the category from aliexpress.

No, plugin can't copy the category from aliexpress.com

No, plugin can't copy the category from aliexpress.com

I think its a better feature to add.

At first I thought that would be nice, but after working with aliexpress' filters for a while I found creating my own categories is best. For example, my store is hiking gear. I already know one of my categories will be Footwear > Hiking Boots > Men's and so I create it in store. I use the plugin's Direct Import feature and do a fine search for men's hiking boots and import the good results one by one. In the plugin's import list I do a batch edit of the shoes I just imported and categorize. Done

If an auto-categorize feature is implemented I fear aliexpress's categories would created such a mess in the store that one would be required to recategorize anyway. I wouldn't want hiking boots to be categorized as men's clothing, for example -- among others that aliexpress invents in their wisdom -- in my store.

Thank you for your response!

Im new to this business, what are the possible expenses that i might consider so i can make a good formula for my pricing?
And how do you pay the order on AliExpress? I believe that its not accepting paypal? So how you can use the paypal funds from your buyer? Thanks!
