What it does
DSers connects stores with AliExpress, Alibaba and 1688 sourcing and order tools. Register an account and connect your store to use it; Basic provides ongoing free access, while paid plans raise capacity and add automation.
DSers separates 1688 Dropshipping, for individual customer orders, from 1688 Wholesale, for bulk purchasing with quantity tiers and air or sea freight. AliExpress and Alibaba use the buyer accounts you connect and authorize.
A new sourcing channel does not change an existing product's supplier. Compare the replacement's variants and delivery terms, then review the product mapping before assigning it. For example, a similar shirt is not a usable replacement unless the supplier provides the sizes and colors already offered in the store.
The standard plan capacities are:
| Plan | Connected stores | Products | Sales channels |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 3 | 3,000 | 1 |
| Advanced | 10 | 20,000 | 1 |
| Pro | 25 | 75,000 | 3 |
| Enterprise | 50 | 100,000 | 5 |
Basic is free. Shopify's listing quotes Advanced at USD 19.90 and Pro at USD 49.90 per 30-day billing cycle. Paid plans have a 14-day trial that starts when the plan is activated. In Settings > Plan > Current Plan, review the allowance before changing packages.
