How do you put your AliExpress in euros? You’ve finally found the products you want, but all the prices are listed in dollars instead of euro, and you’re not the best at maths on the fly. How can you make your AliExpress currency show in euro? It’s one of those things that are fairly simple as long as you know how to do it. In this blog you’ll read how to set your AliExpress to euro and the language you want.

AliExpress Euro Prices

The first thing you’ll need to do to put your AliExpress in euros is to obviously go to the AliExpress website. In the menu at the top of the page, you’ll see a country flag, together with a language and currency. When you click on that button you’ll see a drop down with three options. For the option “Ship to”, you can choose the country you want the package shipped to, mostly your own country. The second option “Language” let’s you set the language you want to have your AliExpress page displayed in. And lastly, the third option “Currency” allows you to change the displayed prices to their corresponding value in the currency of your choice. Once you’ve selected your currency, all prices will be automatically converted from American dollars to Euros. However, there can be a deviation in the price you’ll end up paying, which will be around 1%. This is because of the fluctuations between the currencies. But changing your AliExpress currency in euro is a good indication of what you’ll end up paying.

AliExpress Euro Prices – Pay Attention to the Order Amount

One thing to keep in mind when setting AliExpress to euro is the total order amount. Some countries have an extra customs inspection if the value of the package content is above a specific number. Make sure your package falls below this value, otherwise it might end up being delayed at the customs office, or worse, you might have to pay a fee for import and taxes. A handy tip: if you want to order more products and you know that the total amount will exceed the threshold for customs inspection, it’s better to split the order up into smaller amounts. You might pay a little extra for shipping, but it’s still less than what you would have paid in customs fees.

AliExpress Euro Prices – Not a Standard Setting

So why is the AliExpress currency not in euros? AliExpress chose to use the American dollar as a standard currency. Around the world, this currency is the most used currency for trade. We don’t think that will change any time soon, so you will always have to change AliExpress in euro yourself.

Switching the AliExpress currency in euro makes it easier to calculate what you’ll end up spending, and for 99% of the time it’s a correct estimation. In some cases, the prices end up being a little different when you go to the AliExpress euro check-out. And don’t forget that there are surcharges for shipping in some cases! So, always check the numbers on the check-out screen to make sure you’re paying what you expected to pay on AliExpress in euros. There are various payment methods available on AliExpress, and we’ve written a few articles about this, make sure to read them too. And as a reminder: make sure your address is correct, because changing your address after placing your order is quite the hassle, and you might risk not receiving your package!
