From an AliExpress cart to a client quote in one click: a free Chrome extensionAlex Tusk

Invoice Builder is a free Chrome extension that parses an AliExpress cart into an editable client quote with markup, taxes and PDF export.

TL;DR: Invoice Builder is a free Chrome extension for resellers and dropshippers who buy on AliExpress. It parses your AliExpress cart in one click into an editable commercial quote, lets you add markup, taxes and a discount, and saves the result as a PDF. Install it from the Chrome Web Store. Updated 2026-10-28.

What problem does it solve?

Before a reseller places an order, the client usually gets a price offer. The offer comes straight from the AliExpress cart: item names, quantities and prices, plus the reseller's markup. Typing that into a spreadsheet or an invoice template by hand is the step people keep postponing. Invoice Builder reads the cart instead of making you retype it.

How does it work?

  1. Build your cart on AliExpress as usual.
  2. Click the extension button. All items are pulled into an editable commercial quote.
  3. Add markup, taxes and a discount, and switch the currency if needed.
  4. Fill in the sender and the client, and set the offer's expiry date.
  5. Add a logo. A payment QR code is generated from the first line of the notes field.
  6. Save the quote as a PDF or print it.

The quote does not show your markup line, so the client sees the final price only.

Which carts can it read?

It reads carts on aliexpress.com, aliexpress.us and aliexpress.ru and their subdomains, including the regular cart and the Russian "Choice" mini-cart. One import takes up to 500 items; if the cart is bigger, the extension explains that instead of importing part of it. A field that can't be read is highlighted for manual entry, so a wrong value never slips into the quote silently.

How are currencies handled?

Conversion goes through Exchange Rate API. If a rate is missing, the extension asks you for it and never substitutes one. An optional currency buffer protects you against exchange-rate swings.

Where is my data stored?

In your browser. There is no account and no server: history, PDFs and cart restore all work locally. You can export and import everything as one backup file. Optional Google sign-in sync replaces the whole dataset and warns you before it overwrites local data.

What else is inside?

  • A lightweight CRM: saved clients, saved offers with full history, statuses draft / sent / paid, short statistics (how much is paid and how much is awaiting payment), search and filters.
  • Cart restore: the items of a saved document are added back to your AliExpress cart. The extension clears the current cart first, asks for confirmation and shows a report afterwards.
  • A business profile, logo, signature, payment terms and notes that fill every new document automatically, plus configurable numbering. The interface is available in English and Russian.

What are the limits?

  • The quote is bilingual (English and Russian, any currency). The separate payment invoice (счёт на оплату) is in Russian and RUB only.
  • Only AliExpress carts are supported.
  • The extension takes no payments: your client pays directly by your details or the QR code.
  • The documents are not customs, tax or legal documents.
  • Invoice Builder is an independent product, not affiliated with AliExpress.
