What is the seller rating on AliExpress?

The seller rating on AliExpress, as displayed through AliHelper, provides an objective assessment of a store's reliability based on multiple factors:

AliHelper provides an objective and detailed seller rating based on 5 key criteria that allow you to quickly assess whether you should trust a particular store:

  1. Percentage of dissatisfied shoppers: This indicator shows the share of buyers who were dissatisfied with the quality of the order, delivery time or level of service.
  2. Speed of feedback from the seller: Indicates how quickly the store representative responds to customer inquiries. This is especially important if you have questions about the characteristics of the product or delivery conditions.
  3. Speed of sending orders: Quickly placing and sending an order indicates that the seller takes his duties seriously. Sellers with high scores in this category provide prompt order processing.
  4. Matching the goods to the description: One of the most significant criteria, which shows how much the real things coincide with what is stated in the description.
  5. Store age: Shows how long the seller has been operating on AliExpress, as established stores with longer history tend to be more reliable and trustworthy.

These are objective criteria that can't be manipulated. They are based on feedback from real users and on the information that the extension receives from the Aliexpress platform.

This system for how seller rating is calculated helps you avoid problematic sellers and shop with greater confidence.

How does AliHelper's price tracker work?

AliHelper's price tracker is a powerful tool that helps you monitor price changes and make purchases at the optimal time:

The price tracking feature monitors historical prices and displays this data in a graph covering six months. Some products may show limited price history, while others have multiple data points showing price fluctuations over time. When you actively track a product, AliHelper monitors it daily for your specific location and currency, creating more accurate price data. You'll receive instant notifications when prices drop from your tracking point. The graph helps you determine if current prices are favorable and can be viewed on the product page or in the extension's "Price Changes" section.

When you find a product you're interested in but don't want to buy immediately, you can add it to the price tracking system. AliHelper monitors prices 24/7 and sends instant notifications when costs drop to your desired price point. You can set unlimited tracking for multiple products and never miss a discount again.

If you see that the price has recently increased, but the product is usually cheaper, or you just want to wait for a better offer, click on the "+ Monitor the price" button in the "Price Changes" section or click on the star icon in the extension's compact mode. When the price decreases, you'll receive a push notification or email alert from AliHelper, depending on your settings that can be adjusted by clicking the settings icon.

This feature saves you both time and money by ensuring you purchase products when they're at their best price.

What are DOGI coins?

DOGI coins are AliHelper's internal virtual currency that you can earn while browsing AliExpress with our extension installed. These animated golden coins with a dog paw icon appear periodically on AliExpress pages near product cards - approximately once per hour.

Simply click on the coins to collect them. The more frequently you shop on AliExpress, the more often new coins appear on the pages. DOGI coins can be exchanged for real products from AliExpress, making your browsing experience even more rewarding.

How do I collect and use DOGI coins?

Collecting DOGI coins is simple - just click on the golden animated coins that appear on AliExpress pages when you have the AliHelper extension installed. Your DOGI balance is displayed in the special "DOGI" section within the AliHelper extension, showing both the exact number of coins and their dollar equivalent, plus a complete history of all earnings and spending by day.

To spend your coins, go to the "DOGI COIN" section, click "Spend coins," and fill out the form with the product link, specifications (if any), and your delivery address and contact information. An administrator will verify the details, order the product, and send you a tracking number.

What is 1 DOGI worth?

DOGI coins have a fixed exchange rate that varies depending on the user's region:

1 DOGI = 0.01 USD (1 cent)

The exchange rate remains stable and is not subject to fluctuations. You can track the exact number of accumulated coins and their monetary equivalent in the special "DOGI" section within the AliHelper extension. There you'll also find a complete history of all your earnings and spending by day, which helps you monitor your virtual currency balance.

What should I do to collect more coins?

To maximize your DOGI coin collection, follow these recommendations:

  • Regular activity: Visit AliExpress more frequently with the AliHelper extension installed. Coins appear approximately once per hour, so the more time you spend on the site, the more opportunities you have to collect them.
  • Active shopping: Coins appear more frequently for users who regularly make purchases on AliExpress. The platform rewards active buyers with increased coin appearance frequency.
  • Attention to detail: Golden animated coins with a dog paw icon appear near product cards. Stay alert while browsing pages - coins can appear at any moment.
  • Systematic approach: Don't miss a single coin - every click counts toward your balance. Even small amounts accumulate into significant bonuses for purchases over time.
  • Long-term perspective: The longer you use the extension and remain an active AliExpress user, the more predictable coin appearances become, allowing you to plan savings for desired purchases.

How long does delivery take for items purchased with DOGI coins?

The delivery time for DOGI purchases is exactly the same as regular AliExpress orders. Once our administrator processes your DOGI coin request and places the order, the item is shipped directly from the seller using standard AliExpress delivery methods. You'll receive a tracking number to monitor your package's progress, just like with any regular purchase.

Delivery times depend on the seller's location, your shipping address, and the shipping method selected - typically ranging from 1-4 weeks for standard shipping. Since the order goes through AliExpress's regular fulfillment process, DOGI coins don't affect delivery speed in any way.

Are there any restrictions on items I can buy with DOGI coins?

Yes, there are a few practical restrictions to keep in mind:

  • Sufficient balance: You need enough DOGI coins to cover both the item's full price and shipping costs to your country. Check your DOGI balance in the extension to ensure you have adequate funds.
  • Legal compliance: The item must be legal to import and possess in your destination country. We cannot process orders for items that violate local laws, customs regulations, or import restrictions in your region.
  • Standard AliExpress policies: The item must be available for purchase through regular AliExpress channels and comply with the platform's terms of service.

Other than these reasonable limitations, you can use your DOGI coins for virtually any product available on AliExpress!

What happens to my DOGI coins if I uninstall the extension?

Unfortunately, DOGI coins are stored locally in your browser and will be lost if you uninstall the AliHelper extension. This is why we recommend spending your accumulated coins before uninstalling the extension.

If you're planning to switch browsers or computers, make sure to use your DOGI balance first, as there's currently no way to transfer coins between installations.

We're working on potential solutions for the future, but for now, your coins are tied to your specific browser installation.

Can I transfer DOGI coins to another user?

DOGI coins cannot be transferred between users. Each user's coin balance is tied to their individual browser installation and cannot be shared, gifted, or transferred to other accounts. This system ensures the integrity of the rewards program and prevents potential abuse. Each person needs to collect their own coins through active browsing and shopping on AliExpress with the AliHelper extension installed.

Do DOGI coins expire?

Good news - your DOGI coins never expire! Once collected, they remain in your account indefinitely until you choose to spend them. There's no time limit or expiration date, so you can take your time accumulating coins and wait for the perfect item to purchase. Whether you collect coins quickly or slowly over months, your balance will always be there when you're ready to make a purchase.
