How to Use the Daily AliExpress Best Sellers in Product Search
Find the 'Hot right now' section in Build the Drop's product search, understand where the daily AliExpress best sellers come from and import them in one click.
- 1
Connect AliExpress and open the product search
Hot products use the same AliExpress connection as the product search. If you have not connected AliExpress yet, go to the Suppliers section and click 'Connect' next to AliExpress. Then open 'Search Products' from the sidebar of your space.

Find the 'Hot right now' section
With the search box empty, the page shows a 'Hot right now' section with up to 12 of today's best sellers. It only appears while you are not searching: type a keyword or paste a URL and your results take its place; clear the search and the section comes back.

Understand where the products come from
Every day Build the Drop reads the AliExpress best seller lists for five consumer categories: consumer electronics, home and kitchen, beauty, sports and outdoors, and car accessories. It mixes them into one list, taking one product from each category in turn, so no single category fills the top. The new list replaces the previous day's ranking.

Check that a product fits your market
The products are loaded with your space's country, language and currency, like any search result. Products AliExpress does not sell to your country, or that come back without a price or images, are hidden. That is why some markets can show fewer than 12 products, and why two spaces in different countries can see different lists.

Review and add the products you like
Each hot product uses the same card as the search results. Open it to see the images, variants and reviews, check the product score if your plan includes it, and click 'Save' to add it to 'My Products'. Your 'Auto-add tags' and 'Price rule' presets from the search toolbar apply to hot products too.

Validate before you invest
A best seller on AliExpress shows proven demand there, not that it will sell in your store at your price. Before running ads, compare the delivery times to your country, the price after your price rule and the margin you keep. Test a few products and keep the ones that convert.
