- Enter the code. Look for the "Coupon Code" or "Promo Code" field at checkout. Paste the code and click "Apply."

Most codes cannot be stacked with other promotions. New-user codes apply to first purchases only.
Which Categories Have the Best Codes This Month?
AliExpress Back to School Sale codes typically apply across most categories but may exclude:
- Virtual products (digital goods, gift cards)
- Products from some official brand stores
- Items already discounted beyond sale-event price floors
