When placing order via API, is it recommended to use customer email on the email field? I don't want my customers to receive emails from Aliexpress.
Hello! Client's emails are collected only for the orders on your website and don't go any further. The email field won't be send to Aliexpress when you process an order because the Aliexpress checkout page doesn't have any email field. When you place an order on Aliexpress it notifies you using your Aliexpress account's email as if you order something on Aliexpress for yourself. All notifications for your customers send from your website. All notifications from Aliexpress send to your Aliexpress account's email.

Speaking of the client email field in the API order processing UI - perhaps we will remove it in future. Now it displays just for the order's address summary

When I use the API for ordering, will then my collected coupons be applied? Thank you, Sandra
 
There is a problem with the processing of orders via API, the problem is that if a customer orders the same product with a variation in size, for example, the inventory is reduced from just one sku, for example, in the last order they make the measurements of 2 products. With a variation in size, one was 50 x 60cm and the other product was 30 x 40cm. When loading, I selected the same sku for both and then when ordering, I did not load the 2 products, only one.

I have also seen in the last orders placed by API that my EPN affiliate was not added.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We will investigate this issue.
 
Hello, today I found another error in the order process via API.
When the customer's order is, for example, from Santa Cruz de Tenerife or any island in Spain, Aliexpress asks if the customer has citizenship and requests the DNI, those fields do not exist in the API request, so in the end it must be done manually , screenshot attached.Error-Direciones-Api.jpg
