Fulfilling orders with Sell The Trend is designed to be fast and mostly automated. Once your store starts getting sales, you can process orders in just a few clicks.
Here’s the simplified step-by-step process ?
Step 1: Connect Your AliExpress Account
Before fulfilling any orders, you need to connect your AliExpress account.
How to do it:
Go to your Orders page in Sell The Trend
Click the “Connect AliExpress” prompt
Log in to AliExpress and click Authorize
✅ Once connected, you’re ready to start fulfilling orders
Step 2: Open Your Orders Page
Go to Orders inside Sell The Trend
Find the order you want to fulfill
Click “Order Products”
This opens a summary of the order details.
Step 3: Choose Shipping Options
Each product will have available shipping methods depending on the supplier.
What to do:
Review shipping options (location, speed, price)
Select the best option for your customer
? Tip: Some products ship from different countries (e.g., US vs China), which affects delivery time.
Step 4: Place the Order (1-Click Fulfillment)
Click “Place Order”
Sell The Trend will:
Automatically send customer details to AliExpress
Add the product to your AliExpress cart
Step 5: Complete Payment on AliExpress
Click “Pay for Order”
Select all pending orders
Complete payment using your saved payment method
✅ Once paid, the order is officially processed
Step 6: Wait for Tracking Code
After the supplier ships the product:
Click “Get Tracking Code” or if you are on Essential plan, then the tracking good is automatically fetched at regular intervals so you do not have to do any manual work!
Then Sell The Trend will:
Pull the tracking number
Mark the order as fulfilled
Send tracking info to your customer automatically
Optional: Handle Missing Phone Numbers
AliExpress requires a phone number for every order.
You can:
Set a default phone number in Settings
Or only apply it when the customer didn’t provide one
Final Thoughts
That’s it — the fulfillment process is:
Connect → Select Order → Choose Shipping → Place Order → Pay → Get Tracking
Sell The Trend automates most of the heavy lifting, so you can focus on growing your store instead of manually processing orders.
