The three kinds of AliExpress discount
- Promo codes are sitewide codes released for each sale, with a minimum spend. One per order, and they differ by country.
- Store coupons come from individual sellers. You collect them on the store or product page, and they stack with a promo code.
- AliExpress coupons and coins live in your account. Coins knock a little off most orders; account coupons compete with promo codes, so only the better one is used.
How to get the biggest discount at checkout
- Before checkout, collect the store coupons for every seller in your cart.
- At checkout, note your total. AliExpress may already have applied an account coupon.
- Enter the promo code with the highest value your order qualifies for under Promo codes.
- Compare the total. If it went up, remove the code: your existing coupon was better.
AutoAli does all four steps in one click: it collects store coupons for every seller, tries the best code for your country, and only keeps it if your total goes down.

Why promo codes sometimes raise your total
AliExpress lets one platform discount apply at a time. If you already hold an AliExpress coupon worth US $10 and you enter a US $6 promo code, the code replaces the coupon and you pay US $4 more. That is why comparing totals matters more than the size of the code.
