What is AliHelper
AliHelper is a free browser extension that integrates into the AliExpress interface and provides shoppers with additional information about products and sellers. The extension is available for all popular browsers including Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari.
How to use AliHelper
AliHelper works automatically as soon as you visit AliExpress. However, the full functionality of AliHelper works on product pages. In any case, to access the plugin’s toolkit after installation, you need to click on the doggie image bar. It is located at the bottom left of the screen. Next, we will look at the work of the extension on the example of all functions.
AliHelper functions
Price change history
AliHelper shows a graph of price changes for a product over a certain period. This allows the buyer to determine if the current price is favorable or if the product has already been sold at a lower price. The graph can be viewed both in the product card, under the photo, and in the extension interface in the “Price Changes” section by clicking on the penultimate section with the amount.
If the symbols are red, it means that the price of the product was recently increased, if green – decreased. And if there is a white zero in this place, it means that the price has not changed recently.
Tracking discounts
If you see that the price has been recently increased, but usually the product is cheaper, or you just want to wait for a better offer, in the “Price Changes” section of AliHelper click on the “+ Monitor the price” button.
When the price decreases, you will receive a push notification or email alert from AliHelper, depending on your settings.
The settings window will appear if you click on the nut icon.
There you can also change the color scheme, language, etc.
Checking the reliability of sellers
Another important nuance of shopping on marketplaces is the rating of a particular store from which you plan to order. This is especially relevant now that the current Russian version of the site Aliexpress shows a truncated rating, in addition, the seller can screw it up. By default, you can see it immediately, on the bars in the photos of goods during the search.
Green color marked offers of reliable sellers, orange – those whose work has some shortcomings. And red color marks the goods of stores, to the service and assortment of which there are many questions.
To see a more detailed rating, go to the card of the product you’re interested in and open the “Seller Rate” section in AliHelper.
These are 5 objective criteria that can’t be fudged. They are based on feedback from real users and on the information that the extension receives from the Aliexpress platform.
1. Conformity of goods to the description;
2. Speed of response during correspondence;
3. Speed of sending orders;
4. Duration of the seller’s presence on AliExpress;
5. Percentage of dissatisfied buyers.
Parcel Tracking
You can use the AliHelper parcel tracking feature on any page of Aliexpress. Enter the tracking number in the box, click “Add” and your order will appear in the list. If you click on the number – you can change the name of the shipment, so that you do not get confused in them. And when the parcel arrives – click on the cross icon under the calendar icon.
If you click on the calendar icon itself, AliHelper will show a window with all information about this shipment.
