Each of you probably knows about such an online platform as AliExpress. This is a collection of stores in China that surprise you with low prices and free delivery. The site is accessible from a browser or through a smartphone application, but today we will tell you how to download and install AliExpress in Russian for free on a computer or laptop. So let's get started.
| Platform: | Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 |
| License: | For free |
| Developer: | Alibaba.com Hong Kong Limited |
| Language: | Russian |
Installing the program is very simple:
- first download the file at the bottom of the page;
- follow the step-by-step instructions to install the application;
- launch and enjoy shopping!
Benefits of the program
By choosing an application instead of using the website (including its mobile version), the user of the AliExpress service receives the following advantages:
- Automatically adjusts the image to the orientation and screen resolution. When trying to use a regular service website from a phone or tablet, you will often have to change the scale in order to read the text or press a button.
- Simple and convenient design. No unnecessary elements that could slow down page loading speed. Only the basic elements are left in the application - although, just like on the website, here you can get all the information about the selected product and even read reviews.
- Convenient navigation , thanks to which you can use the program even if you hold your smartphone with one hand.
- Multiplatform. To operate the application, it is enough to have a mobile device with the operating system Android 4.0 and higher or iOS, starting from version 9.0 (which is supported even by iPhone 4S).
One of the main advantages is the additional discounts that the service offers when purchasing certain products through the mobile application. Sometimes savings on such an offer can reach 31%. And you can get a discount for the mobile version even if the product is found on the website.

Among the negative aspects it is worth noting such as
- The order is not always dispatched quickly (the speed of dispatch depends only on the seller).
- Mandatory registration indicating the address for delivery of parcels.
- Not all parcels arrive at the place of delivery (in frequent cases, the Russian Post is to blame).
- To get your money back if the goods have not arrived, you must open a dispute with the seller.
- In rare cases, sellers provide a track number that is not tracked.

To install an application consisting of an APK file, you must allow “installation from unknown sources.” This can be done directly when launching the installation package, or you can find this item in the Android settings.
Getting started with the application
The mobile version of the service can be downloaded from the online store for the corresponding operating system.
The program interface is Russified, and to download and start working you will need no more than 50 MB of free space in the memory of your tablet or smartphone.
To get started with the application, follow these steps:
Rice. 2. Application in the Play Market online store.
Go to Play Market or AppStore and find the program in the list.
Rice. 3. Launch the program.
Install and run the application.
Rice. 4. Authorization via social networks.
Log in to the application using your username and password or through the social network Facebook, VKontakte, Google+ or Twitter.
Rice. 5. Registration in the service through a mobile application.
If the user has not yet registered, to enter the application’s personal account he will have to go through a simple registration, which is practically no different from similar actions on the AliExpress website. To gain access to the features, you will only need to provide personal information and email. A new customer typically receives a coupon for a few dollars off their first purchase.

What's new in the AliExpress mobile app?
In general, the software product is a practically complete duplication of a web resource.
After the first launch of the program, you log in to your account. Next, the main page opens. A search bar, a shopping cart (by the way, it will be on every page) and immediately advertisements for various products.
All this may be of little interest to you, so swipe your finger across the screen to the left and see the main menu. It consists of the following points:
- Home;
- My profile;
- My orders;
- Basket;
- My desires;
- Favorite stores;
- Messages;
- Invite friends;
- My coupons;
- Settings;
- Currency Converter;
- Feedback.
This functionality is also inherent to the site itself. Therefore, if you intend to download Aliexpress in Russian for free on your device, you will understand the application right away.
Program settings and functions
The first action after entering applications may be to change settings.
On a tab in the menu, the country where the user is located and the currency in which he prefers to pay for purchases are set.
Here you can select the language, although this setting is usually set automatically by country of residence.
Rice. 6. Configuring program parameters.
Among other sections, one of the main ones is the “My orders” .
Here you can find information about all purchased and paid for items.
On the same tab, you can view a screenshot of the purchase (which is considered evidence when making a claim against unscrupulous sellers who send customers items that do not match the description) and find out its status.
Rice. 7. Track your purchase through the “My Orders” section.
The tracking function is designed to ensure that the user knows approximately where the goods he paid for are located - in China, on the way, or have almost reached the point of delivery. To obtain detailed information, the user will only need a couple of clicks. After receiving the purchase and there are no complaints about it, you should select delivery confirmation on the “My Orders” tab - only after that the money is sent to the seller.
Rice. 8. Category “My Desires” in the “Favorites” section.
In the application, you can also view the favorites tab, which also contains a wish list. It is recommended to place here those items from the AliExpress catalog that the user expects to purchase in the future. This is easier than searching for them again on the website or application.
Rice. 9. Section of coupons and other financial data.
The “Coupons and Payment” tab allows you to get information about discount offers from sellers and the service. This section also contains bank card details with which the user can pay for purchases.
Rice. 10. Feedback form in the application.
If you have any problems with delivery or the product, you can contact the seller using the feedback tab. It is best to contact him in English; if you don’t know English, you can find standard sentences for communication in special phrase books for AliExpress. From the same tab you can open a dispute if the problem has not been resolved.
Rice. 11. Form for creating a dispute and receiving answers to popular questions.
If you have questions or are unable to resolve a dispute, you should contact technical support. The tab for contacting consultants is located in the same menu. It is also advisable to use English when contacting someone, although sometimes you can get an answer in Russian.

Search for products
Finding the things or equipment you need in AliExpress catalogs is even easier than on the website.
Rice. 12. Search for a product by picture.
When you go to the home page (which automatically opens when you sign in), a search bar appears at the top of the screen. Here you can enter part of the product name, a keyword, or select the option of identification by photo.
Rice. 13. The process of photographing and obtaining search results.
Search by image is suitable for users who do not even know the approximate name of the item they need. To use the function, click on the camera icon and take a photo of the item. You can try to find a suitable option in the results.
Important : To increase the search efficiency, you should take photographs in good lighting, keep the camera level and exclude foreign objects from the frame. The best option is a plain background (for example, a window sill or a blank sheet of paper) on which the subject lies. If you didn’t manage to find the product the first time, you should try to photograph it again, from a different angle, highlighting the most significant details - the name, connectors, protrusions or holes.
Rice. 14. Search on the website for purchases that can be purchased more profitably in the application.
Another simple way to search is to quickly find the desired item on your computer (via the search bar or the AliExpress website). After going to the product card, all you have to do is find the promotional code under the amount and read it using the application. Successful scanning will allow you to proceed to checkout in the AliExpress program - in most cases, the buyer receives a discount compared to the price on the website.

How to install Aliexpress on a computer?
Now let's try to install Aliexpress on a personal computer. You can download the Aliexpress online platform client in Russian for free to your computer or laptop in 2 ways:
- Microsoft Store (suitable for computers running Windows 8/10.)
- Using a special program.
How to install Aliexpress on a computer?
To do this you need:
- Go to the Microsoft Store and enter the query “Aliexpress” in the search bar (in the upper right corner).
- Click on the “AliExplorer” icon.
- In the window that opens, click on the “Install” button and wait for the download process to complete.
After installation, the application icon can be placed on the taskbar for quick access to the store. To do this, you need to find the program in the computer menu section, right-click on it, then select “Advanced” - “Pin to taskbar”.
Login to your personal account is carried out using the login and password specified when registering on Aliexpress, as well as through social networks.
For installation of Aliexpress on other OS, incl. and on Windows 7, the second option is suitable. You will first need to download the BlueStacks utility program.
This is an Android emulator that allows you to download and install applications from Google Play on your computer. After BlueStacks is installed, you need to launch it and then:
- In the search bar located in the upper right corner, enter “Aliexpress”.
- In the Google Play results, select “AliExpress Shopping” and click on it.
- In the window that opens, select “Install”, then “Accept”.
After this, the download will begin, after which the “Open” button will appear on the screen. An “Aliexpress” shortcut will appear on your computer desktop. As a result, a free version of Aliexpress designed for Android smartphones will appear on your computer.
Application functionality on PC
The program has a simple and intuitive interface. A convenient product search system allows you to quickly find the item you need, read its description and make a purchase. The available filters will help you sort the search results, adjusting the results to the user’s interests.
Mobile applications AliExpress Mobile
The program has a built-in browser that allows you to view Internet pages without leaving the application. Your personal account provides the ability to edit data, enable geolocation, and change currency if necessary.
Placing an order
The ordering process is no different from similar actions on the website.
The found product is transferred to the cart if the user intends to continue shopping.
Rice. 15. Start of ordering.
If you want to purchase only this item, click the “Buy” .
Rice. 16. Selection of characteristics.
The next step is to indicate the product parameters if there are several different options. Usually the user is given the opportunity to choose a color - and sometimes also a package. For example, for a smartphone, these could be software packages (standard version, with an additional warranty or anti-virus programs) or different amounts of memory.
Rice. 17. Completion of registration.
After filling out all the fields (address, delivery method and payment), you can select coupons or enter a promotional code to receive a discount. The final stage is paying for the purchase and clicking on the “Place an order” button. At this point, the process of purchasing the goods is considered completed, and the buyer can only wait for delivery.
To pay in the application, you can use almost the same methods as on the website - bank cards of the VISA, MasterCard and Mir payment systems. You can also use a QIWI wallet for this. At the same time, payment using Yandex Money and WebMoney, available when using a browser, is not possible in the mobile version.

Opportunities for savings when purchasing
Discount offers for products from AliExpress periodically appear in the special “Last Minutes” section.
The names in this list are constantly updated.
Most items disappear from the section in just a few days, and buyers should hurry.
Rice. 18. Section with a promotion for watches.
You can also find special sales in catalogs dedicated to holidays or other events - for example, Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Singles' Day. AliExpress also offers discounts dedicated to the anniversaries of the service itself.
Rice. 19. Discount coupons from the service.
One of the most realistic ways to get a discount is through special coupons that can be issued by the company or sellers. These are sometimes associated with major sales, but can also be earned by participating in a contest or survey.
Rice. 20. Coupon for a new user of the service.
A user who has just registered for the service can also count on receiving a discount coupon. Currently the discount is $4. Information about the availability of an offer can be seen in the product card by clicking on the “More details” in the product card.
Rice. 21. Tabs where you can find discount offers and coupons.
You can find coupons and special coupons in the application in the section specially designed for this in the menu. Nearby there are links to tabs with sales.
Rice. 22. Entering a promotional code when placing an order.
On special discount aggregator sites you can find additional offers that both regular and new AliExpress customers can take advantage of. They are called promotional codes and are combinations of symbols that reduce the cost of a purchase by several percent or a certain amount. The code can also be received by email by subscribing to the service’s newsletters and adding the desired product to “My Desires,” and it is activated during the application process.
Important : Some types of discounts stack with each other. But in most cases, the user has to choose the most profitable option - for example, between a coupon for 200 rubles and a promotional code for 5%.
Special discount in the mobile application
The reason for the appearance of discounts available only to users of the mobile application is the desire of the service to increase its popularity.
After all, the number of buyers who search for and purchase goods from smartphones and tablets increases every year and is comparable to the number of purchases through the website.
It is possible that in the future, when the majority of customers use mobile devices, such offers from AliExpress will disappear - but for now they are valid.
There are two ways to save on your purchase using your smartphone or tablet. The first standard one is to find a product in the application, where the price will immediately be lower than on the website. The second is to search the full version of the web page and scan the QR code (however, such an offer cannot always be found - purchases can cost the same both in the program and on the website).
Rice. 23. Scanning a QR code.
Important : If the user does not want to deal with scanning codes, you can simply add the purchase to “My Desires” directly from the site, and then open the same section in the mobile application. The result will be the same, but less time will be spent.
