Aliexpress extensions for Yandex. AliTools: how to choose the best seller on AliExpress and save your nerves. Aliexpress extension for cashbacks

Aliexpress is a huge trading platform where thousands of sellers from different parts of China sell their goods every day. Although Ali keeps order, there are unscrupulous sellers, deceivers, swindlers and outright scammers. They may send you a defective, low-quality, wrong product, or not send you at all and waste your money.

To fight scammers and check the seller for lice, it’s worth knowing their deception schemes, I recommend studying the article scammers on Aliexpress.

It is also worth checking sellers automatically using special applications (extensions) for Internet browsers, so-called, which will show the seller’s rating, and, if necessary, warn if the seller is dubious or a scammer.

Extension for Aliexpress seller rating.

After installation, a detailed seller rating in Russian will appear in each product card.

This plugin allows you to check the seller for reliability:

— check the level of risk when purchasing any product (risk meter/risk meter)
— is it worth contacting this seller or is it better to look for another
— date of registration of the seller, also a required parameter
— how active is the seller?
- percentage of satisfied customers
— positive and negative reviews as a percentage
— number of goods sold in the last month
— order processing speed
- seller's sociability
— goods correspond to the description
- and other useful features

It will make your shopping calmer and help you decide on the best seller of the goods you are interested in. It is available for Chrome, Opera, Yandex Browser browsers and Android smartphones.

After installation, a small widget will be displayed directly on the product page, showing the level of trust, price dynamics and the number of video reviews. More detailed information for each indicator is displayed in the pop-up menu.

Seller rating

The main indicator of a seller's reliability is the rating. AliExpress calculates it based on the number of positive reviews over the entire period of the seller’s work, but this does not always allow one to determine his integrity.

Take, for example, the seller of this popular Bluetooth speaker. It has a 91% rating on AliTools. This is less than on AliExpress (98.7%), but still high enough to trust the seller. It has been in business for over two years, communicates well with customers and describes products in detail, and ships orders quickly. The number of dissatisfied customers is only 3% of the total. You can do business with such a store.

However, do not rush to order the product right away. There are a few more important points.

Price dynamics

Very often there are various promotions on AliExpress. Sellers also like to drum up interest in their products through discounts. Unfortunately, not all traders are honest; they often play on our psychology. They set inflated prices for a time, and then reduce them to the usual level, passing it off as a discount. The AliTools “Price Dynamics” section will help you understand that the seller is dishonest.

The color and direction of the arrow next to the dollar sign shows whether the product is currently becoming more expensive or cheaper. The extended menu displays a detailed graph of price changes over the past three months. Moreover, here you can add the product to your favorites. Then you will receive a notification when the price decreases.

Using the example of the same speaker seller, we can easily determine the nature of the current discount and understand that it is artificial. The seller raised the price to $49.99 for one day, and then held a “promotion”, bringing the price back to 39.99.

AliExpress doesn’t remember this, but AliTools remembers it well. By the way, with the help of the extension we can find out that real discounts still exist, so it makes sense to wait. And in order not to miss a great offer, you just need to add the product to your favorites by clicking the “Watch price” button.

Video reviews

Popular products almost always have reviews. This is what happened with the column from our example: the AliTools extension found two Russian-language reviews with 4,600 and 3,300 views (this is also a kind of popularity indicator).

The video can be viewed directly in the widget in which the playlist will appear. There's even sorting by date and popularity of reviews, which will save you time when choosing products with a lot of reviews.

Android app

For those who prefer to select products from a smartphone or tablet, AliTools has an Android application. It has the same functionality as the extension, but works a little differently.

conclusions

The usefulness of AliTools is obvious. A simple, and most importantly, free tool will save a lot of time and nerves, protect you from unsuccessful purchases and help bring any seller to clean water. The extension will also allow you to monitor discounts and buy desired products at the best price.

Aliexpress is no longer a cake. Just a year or two ago you couldn’t get enough of him. People bought everything in droves: from dresses to phones, and those who were especially enterprising managed to resell goods through public pages on VKontakte. Now the era has passed - prices have risen noticeably, there are fewer profitable deals, and there are more unscrupulous sellers.

Moreover, since August 2017, Aliexpress has reduced the amount of cashback: if previously it was possible to return about 10% of a purchase, now 4% is the limit. Their policy is clear: the audience has already been formed, there is no need to attract new customers, which means there is no point in pampering them with goodies either.

Some people, however, still pretend to be a good Samaritan, organizing fake sales - first raising the price to the clouds, and then, as it were, lowering it.

And this is where browser extensions come into the picture.

We'll talk about it briefly below:

What extensions do for Aliexpress

automatically remind you about , so you don't forget to activate it;
monitor the seller’s reputation and brand rating: if there is an unreliable store in front of you, you will know about it;
monitor price dynamics: you will see how the cost of goods has changed recently, whether it has been inflated;
find similar products and show reviews;
They tell you when the price of an interesting product has dropped.

Not all extensions work the same; each has its own strengths and nuances. But they are all free and useful.

Ali Tools

AliTools is a plugin that tracks price dynamics on Aliexpress and checks the reliability of the seller based on reviews and internal ratings. It also finds and gives you reviews of products you were interested in.

The most useful thing in AliTools is the Favorites folder. You add products to your Favorites, and Ali Tools will monitor their prices: as soon as the price drops, you will receive a notification.

The application works if the button in the right corner of the screen is activated. Go to the page of the product you are interested in and see a black window in the lower left corner, where you can see the seller’s rating, the price dynamics of the product and a video review of it (if it exists).

Alytus is available for iOS and Android and most browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Yandex. You can download alytools on the platform Alitrast. On the same site you can see selections and reviews of products, consult with other buyers, track your parcel and learn various tricks about shopping on Aliexpress.

But Alitools also has disadvantages. Users claim that the extension takes away their cashback, although nothing like this was specified in the terms and conditions. Maybe with the plugin you will find the product cheaper, but there is a chance that your cashback will be taken away. Another problem - judging by the reviews, AliTools primarily displays sellers with high prices and hides products with lower prices. So you can still check the seller with it, but before purchasing it is better to remove the extension.

Aliexpress Helper

Aliexpress Assistant is an application that analyzes sellers, guides users, giving suitable offers with discounts.

Video review of useful functions of the Aliexpress assistant:

The application is popular among users. For example, 54,000 people downloaded it in the Chrome store, and the average rating for the plugin is 4.7 out of 5.

After installation, the plugin icon will appear in the browser panel. When you go to the page of the product you are interested in, you will immediately see the seller’s reliability rating and all the pros and cons of working with him: are the buyers happy, do the products correspond to the description, etc. In the left corner there will be a window showing the price dynamics. For example, the price of a pirate costume for a cat increased by 8 cents per day, but that’s normal.

Minus: Like AliTools, the application replaces your cookies and takes your cashback. Therefore, you can view products and analyze sellers through it, but it is better to delete it before purchasing.

Alitrek

Alitrek is a service for. The browser plugin determines the risk of the purchase and shows where the shipment track number was last marked. In addition to the expansion, Alitrack has a website (alitrack.ru) with the latest news, detailed product reviews and a forum where buyers share their experiences: for example, they talk about discounts, problems at customs, and offer their help in disputes with the seller.

The extension is currently compatible with Google Chrome, Yandex.Browser, Mail.Ru and Opera browsers.

After installation, go to the product page, additional buttons will appear there: purchase risk assessment, detailed information about the seller and search for similar products.

Alitrek is not an official development, but an amateur project, so users sometimes complain about glitches in the system.

Aliexpress Seller Check

An application that is most focused on seller verification. Aliexpress Seller Check automatically analyzes the store and shows the full characteristics of the seller. If he is dubious, has little experience and customers, takes a long time to send the order, or his product does not correspond to what was declared, you will find out about it.

The activated plugin is displayed with a purple icon on the work panel. Everything works if you see the rating and information about the seller on the product page.

Also, using Aliexpress Seller Check, you can send a complaint or add a photo review of the product.

Minuses: Aliexpress seller check users complain about system failures and cashback plugin theft.

Ali Price

Aliprice (same as Aliexpress Shopping Assistant) is the official browser extension from . Also works with the site. What it does:

finds identical products so you can compare prices and sellers;
tracks price dynamics of goods on Aliexpress and Gearbest;
informs you if the price of the product you are interested in has dropped;
analyzes sellers, their level of reliability and integrity;
tracks parcels;
searches for products on Aliexpress using pictures.

After installing the application, a black block will appear on the product page with information about the seller, price dynamics, and a video review of the product (if it exists).

If you add an item to your favorites, you will receive a notification when the price drops.

You can track your parcel by clicking on the application icon in the browser panel. Menus with links to stores, etc. are also displayed there.

Minuses: The application does not always show current prices. Apparently, it just can’t keep up with the updates, so it’s better to check the price on the original page. And that would be fine, but the extension steals cashback by replacing your cookies with its own. So if your money is important to you, we do not recommend using it.

ePN Cashback plugin

Browser extension available to users. Safe because it doesn’t steal your cashback, protects it and helps you remember about bonuses. Once on the product page, click on the extension icon in the browser panel. It will show the cashback amount and activate it. Cashback will be credited and displayed in your personal account within 5 minutes.

The ePN Cashback extension also shows price dynamics; you will see if the seller has raised the price of the product before the sale.

Works not only with Aliexpress, but also with other stores: Gearbest, Asos, Banggood. But to use it you must be a user of the ePN Cashback service.

AliExpress Radar

A browser extension that helps you make secure transactions on AliExpress. By activating AliExpress Radar, you will see the price history and information about the seller on the product page.

Add the product you are interested in to your favorites and Aliexpress Radar will notify you when the price of the product drops. In the extension itself, you can search for products without going to Aliexpress. Just click on the icon in the browser panel and enter a description of the product. Here you can also track your parcel using its track number.

The main disadvantage is that the extension takes away your cashback for purchases by replacing cookies.

Extension from LetyShops CashBack

A plugin that reminds you of cashback. This is convenient because you don’t need to go and log in to the website to buy products with cashback - the extension itself will remind you of it when you go to the online store. Works with AliExpress, Banggood, Gearbest, ASOS, Ozon, Lamoda, M.Video and other online platforms, the list is constantly updated.

Download the LetyShops CashBack extension and go to the store on the product page.

If the icon on the browser panel is green, cashback is activated; if it is red, reload the page and activate cashback.

The seller's rating and price history will also appear in the upper right corner. Click on it and you will see detailed information about the seller and a price change chart.

In the application, you can search for stores or select them from a list of favorites or recommended ones. Your cashback balance, information about current promotions and a referral link are also displayed here. If other users register using your link, you will receive 15% of their cashback.

conclusions

Browser extensions for Aliexpress are useful for analyzing sellers, tracking packages, comparing prices and searching for products. They help you avoid unsafe transactions and buy only from reliable stores.

However, if they are all free and there are no advertisements in them, then the question arises - what benefit does this give to developers? There really is a catch: most of these extensions replace your cookies with their own and take the cashback for themselves. Of course, this is not advertised anywhere and users will find out about it after the fact. Unpleasant.

There are two solutions to the problem. The first is to use plugins very carefully, in other browsers, remove extensions before purchasing, when you have found out all the information. Secondly, use plugins from cashback services. They function the same way, and they won’t let your cashback be stolen.

It will make your shopping calmer and help you decide on the best seller of the goods you are interested in. It is available for Chrome, Opera, Yandex Browser browsers and Android smartphones.

However, do not rush to order the product right away. There are a few more important points.

Extension settings.

Let's look at each of the points in more detail.

Verifying sellers using the AliExpress Tools extension

Another interesting point: sometimes, after clicking on a link, you will see a review of a completely different product, not what you expected. This happens if in one video review the buyer talks not about one purchase, but about several purchases at once.

Links in the product card to photo-boasts from the AliTrust database

The AliTrust database contains about 4,000 as of mid-January 2016 (information as of mid-January 2016), most of them with photographs.

If we have a positive review, illustrated with one or more photos, for the product you have chosen, in the card of this product you will see a link to the comments of users who have already purchased the product.

Custom extension menu

The custom menu is accessed using the button located near the browser address bar on the toolbar:

Package Tracking

Access is located in the extension's custom menu. Your task is to insert the track code issued by the seller into the field and click on the “Track” button. You will be redirected to the AliTrust website, where the parcel will be searched.

Since many users simultaneously track several parcels, the extension stores the tracking numbers of the last 8 items you tracked, so that you do not have to constantly look for them in the cards of ordered goods.

To track the numbers saved in the extension, simply click on the one you need at the moment as a link. The search will begin automatically after going to the AliTrust website.

It happens that searching for information about a shipment takes some time, but we recommend being patient a little. If the parcel is trackable, then you will be provided with information about its location before delivery.

News

In the “News” tab you will see a feed with the headlines of the latest articles posted on the AliTrust website. We try to bring to you only useful and interesting information about AliExpress, about innovations on the Russian side related to the delivery of parcels, and about changes in the conditions for sending goods by transport companies.

In the extension, you can estimate how many users have already read the news, and how resonant they turned out to be, the number of comments will tell you. Join our commentators, express your opinion under publications on AliTrust.

Notifications

In the user menu there is a “Notifications” tab, where you can see in time that one of the other users of the AliTrust website has rated your comments under publications or wrote a response to them.

Statistics

You can view your statistics of visits to the AliExpress website, and also find out how many products you viewed. Of course, there is no practical benefit from the information, but we decided that it might be interesting to you ^_^.

Settings

The last tab "Settings" will allow you to enable and disable extension modules:

Seller verification block in the product card;
Block of photo and video reviews;
Notifications about found complaints.

conclusions

The AliExpress extension is a very useful thing that will help you make purchases in a huge Chinese online store with great pleasure.

We'd love to hear your feedback about the expansion. Your opinion is very important to us, because only with your help can we make a first-class product. We are waiting for suggestions and comments. Write comments!
