Please note that you need your own API keys to get affiliate commissions for your sales. Be sure to sign up right away since the process takes a few days to be approved.

How to apply for API Keys

Step 1. Login to your AliExpress affiliate account. Click on Tools and then the API link

Then click the Apply Button

This will take you to another login page where you will use the same email and password that you used for your AliExpress affiliate account.

Then you can click on APP Console. The Profile link might take you to the same page but first click on APP Console.

Then you should see a few different options for the API. You need to make sure to select the Dropshipping/Affiliates Developer API option.

Then you need to fill out the form to apply for the AliExpress API Keys. Here are some example answers to help you get approved. Make sure you select your own country if you are not in the United States.

You will need to upload a picture of your Driver's Licence, Passport, or Identification card. You only need to pick one option. You can take a photo with your phone and email it to yourself for uploading.

Make sure to change the United States to your country if you are not in the USA.

That is all you need to do to apply for the AliExpress API keys. Approval typically takes about 3 days.

After Approval: Creating Your App

Once you are approved, go back to the API portal and click on App Console:

https://openservice.aliexpress.com/

Then click the blue Create button.

Fill in the required information. For the Callback URL, you can use your store's homepage URL.

For the App Logo, you can upload any image. Your store logo works well, or you can use the FreshStore logo below (right-click and save to your computer):

After clicking submit, you will be taken to your newly created API keys.

Click the APPLY Online button and enter text similar to what you see in the image below.

After submitting, scroll down to find your API Key and the link to show your Secret Key. These are the two keys you need to enter into your store's Offer Settings under the AliExpress tab.

If you don't see them straight away, visit the APP Console page and click Manage on the app you created.
