Open AliExpress links in the app
Paste a AliExpress URL and get a link that opens the AliExpress app instead of the browser — with a web fallback for everyone else.
Free forever. No login. Works with aliexpress.com links.
Which AliExpress links work
toThe.App recognises links on aliexpress.com, aliexpress.us, and other aliexpress.* domains. These URL shapes are handled:
- https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ITEM_ID.html
On iPhone
Item URLs open to that product in the app.
On Android
Handled the same way as on iPhone: the AliExpress app opens directly when it is installed.
Known limitations
No link can force a phone to open an app. These are the cases where a AliExpress link falls back to the web:
- Short a.aliexpress.com links are not recognised — expand them first.
- Prices and availability differ per regional storefront.

What happens on iPhone?
Item URLs open to that product in the app.
What happens on Android?
Handled the same way as on iPhone: the AliExpress app opens directly when it is installed.
Why did the AliExpress app not open?
The device makes the final call. Common reasons: the app is not installed, the specific URL type is not covered (Short a.aliexpress.com links are not recognised — expand them first.), or the link was tapped inside another app's in-app browser, which will not hand off to a native app. The web fallback always works.
