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 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. I have added the answers I put to their questions to help you make sure you get approved. Just make sure you pick your country if you are not in the United States. Everything else should be the same.

You will need to upload a picture of your Driver License, or Passport or Indentification number. You only need to pick one of the options and upload. What I did was take a picture of my driver license with my phone and I emailed myself the picture to use for the upload.

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. It took about 3 days for them to approve my account.

Once you are approved you will go back to the page below https://openservice.aliexpress.com/?spm=a2o9v.11225313.0.0.14ac47a7dLTZEh and then click on App Console

Then click on the blue Create Button

Now you need to fill in some information. For the Callback URL you can just pick anyone of your stores home page url for now.

For the AppLogo, you can really upload any picture. Even a logo from your store or you can upload the fresh store logo. Download it from below by right clicking on the image and saving it to your computer

Once you click submit you should see the pages shown in the image below and then it will take you to the API keys you just created.

Now you need to click the APPLY Online button shown in the image below and just enter text similiar to what you see in the image. It doesn't have to be exact.

Once you submit the form above. It should take you to the same page and if you scroll down you will find your API Key and the link to show the Secret Key. These are the two keys you need to enter into your Stores OFFER SETTINGS under the AliExpress tabs.

If you don't see the text below. Just visit https://openservice.aliexpress.com/app/index.htm?spm=a2o9m.11193494.0.0.58f26095VkdXyu#/app/list?_k=4r7f22 or the APP Console page and you will see the new key you created. Click Manage and you will find the details below.
