Guide: This is the best feature on AliExpress, thanks to which you can save money and find absolutely every product

As our loyal fan, you definitely know Aliexpress.com, a huge Chinese online marketplace for products. And to help you navigate this massive range of different products as well as possible, we bring you a simple trick that will help you not only find products, but also save money on them. There is a way to search for a product even if you don’t know its name, and at the same time choose the cheapest seller.

How do you search for products in the mobile app?

This is a real-life example. In the Instagram app on our smartphone, we found a product in this reel. We wanted to know what offer was available on AliExpress. This way, you’ll also avoid overpriced dropshipping sites.

On AliExpress, we searched for it using image search in the mobile app, and found these 3 pieces for just under 5 euros. This seller seemed the most trustworthy to us, had reviews, and we wouldn’t be afraid to order from them.

Here’s how to search by image in the mobile app:

1. Step 1 – Take a screenshot of the screen
2. Step 2 – Go to the AliExpress app and in the search bar click on the camera icon with a magnifying glass
   

   

   

3. Step 3 – Select the correct part of the image
4. Step 4 – Choose the product that caught your attention from the list that appears at the bottom of the screen
   

   

   

TIP at the end

The results list offers one more very important feature, and that is filtering by the lowest price. When you turn on this filter, products are sorted from the cheapest to the most expensive, so you can choose the very cheapest seller.

However, we recommend choosing only truly verified sellers, checking reviews, and also looking at the seller’s registration date on the platform. Based on these parameters, you can judge whether to buy something from the seller or avoid them.

Search for the cheapest products on AliExpress

The result? The same product or a quality equivalent, lower price, less disappointment. Even through the mobile app. On top of that, when buying, you can also use a set of our great discount coupons.

How do you search for products on the web?

If a cool product caught your eye on a website or in a video, but you don’t know what it’s called, you don’t have to settle for an overpriced offer from an unknown site. An image is enough even in the web app.

Take a screenshot of the product that caught your attention – for example, this stylish Magsafe power bank. Then go to AliExpress.com (ideally on desktop or in the app), where you can use the “Search by image” option. Upload the screenshot there and the system will automatically offer products that visually match your image.

After uploading, all you have to do is sort the results from the lowest price, and you’ve got your results.

You can usually find the exact same product you saw on Instagram or in a small e-shop—but not at full price of 30 €, maybe even for half the price, and often in multi-packs.
