    The AliExpress affiliate program — how to join & earn

    AliExpress runs its own affiliate program through the AliExpress Portals platform, and it is open to publishers in more than 200 countries. You pick products, generate tracked links and earn a commission when your audience buys, with much higher rates on the items AliExpress flags as “hot products.” It is a popular fit for deal, tech-gadget and dropshipping-adjacent content.

    Turn your AliExpress affiliate link into one smart link

    AliExpress Portals (in-house) links are long and ugly, and they only ever point one place. Wrap your tagged AliExpress link in a Geo-Smart-Link and you get a clean, short gsl.li URL you can change anytime — with a dynamic QR code, click analytics, and A/B testing behind it, on every plan.

    Short & editable

    A tidy gsl.li link instead of a long tracking URL — and you can change where it points without re-sharing it.

    A dynamic QR

    Put your AliExpress link on a video thumbnail, pin board or print — a scannable code that inherits the same routing and tracking.

    See the clicks

    Clicks by country, device and source, bots filtered — so you know which content drives your AliExpress commissions.
