This setting allows you to configure rules for fulfilling orders automatically on AliExpress.
After the customer ordered aliexpress products on your WooCommerce website, you will fulfill these orders in 2 ways: Order with extension or bulk place orders via Aliexpress API. But before that, let’s pay attention to the order fulfillment options in the Fulfill tab
A. Regarding Shipping info infiguration
- Require billing fields in Latin: Enable this option to force users to fill billing details in Latin
- Carrier company: Each AliExpress item needs a shipping carrier. If an item has not been chosen a specific shipping carrier, this default value will be selected to fulfill the order.
- Always use default carrier: Enable to always use the default carrier instead of the order item carrier
- Default phone number: If an order does not have phone number, this number will be used to fulfill AliExpress order.
- Override customer phone number: Always use Default phone number when fulfilling Aliexpress order no matter your customers have phone number or not.
- Note: This only overrides a customer’s phone number if the default phone country is the same as the customer’s country.
- CPF meta field: The order meta field that a 3rd party plugin use to store customer’s CPF field. This is used only for Customers from Brazil. If empty, billing company will be used as CPF when fulfilling AliExpress orders.
- Add cpf to street: Append customer’s cpf to street for easier lookup on AliExpress
- Billing number meta field: If you customize checkout fields to add the billing number field, please enter the order meta field which is used to store billing number here. If you use Brazilian Market on WooCommerce, please fill this option with _billing_number*Caution: If you already use a custom PHP snippet to append billing number to order address via vi_wad_fulfillment_customer_info filter hook, please leave this field empty to avoid billing number being added twice to order address which makes the address become incorrect.
