It's really shameful that senior members of this forum take joy on mocking/belittling newer members coming into this forum looking for some help/guidance (Yes... specially you "Well-Known Member". Now we know what you're well known for (putting people "Down Under")).
I will try and do what the most senior members should have done along with the plugin creators. A very simple "until ioncube releases a stable 7.4 loader version, we cannot make our plugin 7.4 compatible" (was that so difficult?)
1) AliDropship relies and is dependent of an ioncube loader stable version.
2) Up until June 28th, 2020, the latest stable version was "ioncube_loader_lin_7.3.so"
3) The ioncube loader 7.4 stable version was just released on June 29th, 2020 (before this date, only the BETA version was available, but no hosting company is willing to include BETA versions on their PHP packages. If you do have a VPS, you could do so at your own risk).
Here is a link to ioncube latest Production/Stable loader version (7.4) => https://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php
and here is a link for the stable release discussion on ioncube forum=> https://forum.ioncube.com/viewtopic...start=30&sid=edc723777bc7f8e90ce183d747fc7995
I just wished that the developer and most knowledgeable and senior members on this forum could had come up with a simple detailed response without belittling newer forum members pointing out that
even if AliDropShip wanted to update the plugin, they could not do so until a 7.4 stable loader version was available (it is available now).
4) as for the why would you like to upgrade to 7.4? This Site Health Status report output will probably answer that question:

NOTE: I do like to point out that
@Mar did mentioned earlier on this thread "ioncube loader not included on PHP7.4 release", but most of us mere mortals didn't have a clear understanding as of "why?" the plugin was not compatible.
I am probably getting more love from known members, but it's well worth it.
Peace!
