The true "magic" is in the checkout script. A Magic API doesn’t just read data; it writes orders. With one click in your Shopify admin, the API logs into a buyer’s AliExpress account (or uses a headless browser), fills in the customer’s address, applies coupons, and places the order—all in under 5 seconds.
This is the part nobody wants to talk about. AliExpress’s Terms of Service explicitly forbid scraping and automated access without written permission.
