Updating product

Hi,

I recently knew that we need to manually update all the store. I have a few questions with this update.

1- How often would you recommand us to update our store?
2- Why Am I getting so much "new window" in my browser with captcha to enter when I'm updating. Also, everytime I have to restart the update process. Really annoying as you can understand.
3- I chose the option to "Send to draft" when a product disappears from AliExpress. Is this working with the product is there but has a 0 quantity?

Last question: Why not making update automatically?
Thanks

Hi,

1. I am doing update once in two weeks. I don't see the point to do it more often. Even if I find out that a particular product is not available anymore, I usually easily find the same item from another seller. In this case I just change the link in product option and click update this product.
2. You should log in your AliExpress account before starting the updating process.
3. Yes, it should work for items with zero stock.

Unfortunately, AliExpress API does not support this update functionality and there is no possibility to auto-update with the help of the extension. And honestly saying, even this feature exits I would not use it. I prefer to control and update everything myself when it's necessary.
 
Hi Yaros, this is not working for me. When I change the product URL and click "update product". The product url just returns to the old one. What am I missing?
