AliDropship app for Shopify provides you with the possibility to keep your product details up-to-date. With the help of the Update option you can not only check availability of items on AliExpress, but also update product’s price, stock and variations.
Go to AliDropship app → Settings → Updates to adjust your update settings.

You can update products of the particular category/collection (or categories/collections) :

or update all products:

If a product is no longer available on AliExpress, you may:

Do nothing. The item will remain unchanged in your store;
Set its quantity to zero. In case your product is out of stock but some time later it becomes available again, the plugin will update its quantity automatically;
Make visible/invisible online. The product will be invisible at your store. Once this product appears on AliExpress again, the app will make it visible automatically.
If a product variation is no longer available on AliExpress, you may:

Do nothing. The variation will remain unchanged in your store.
