 * Hi,
 * About 4 months ago I asked if there is an third party api that plays the middle
   man between this plugin and Aliexpress and you said there is none and that there
   is an option to have wordpress connect to Aliexpress locally.
 * However after having a quick glance at the source code today, I discovered that
   indeed there is a 3rd party api call inside the plugin:
 *     ```
       /*Constants for AliExpress dropshipping API*/
       define( 'VI_WOOCOMMERCE_ALIDROPSHIP_APP_KEY', '34058263' );
       define( 'VI_WOOCOMMERCE_ALIDROPSHIP_GET_SIGNATURE_PLACE_ORDER_URL', 'https://api.villatheme.com/wp-json/aliexpress/get_signature' );
       define( 'VI_WOOCOMMERCE_ALIDROPSHIP_GET_SIGNATURE_PLACE_ORDER_BATCH_URL', 'https://api.villatheme.com/wp-json/aliexpress/create_orders' );
       define( 'VI_WOOCOMMERCE_ALIDROPSHIP_GET_SIGNATURE_GET_PRODUCT_URL', 'https://api.villatheme.com/wp-json/aliexpress/get_products' );
       define( 'VI_WOOCOMMERCE_ALIDROPSHIP_GET_SIGNATURE_GET_PRODUCT_URL_V2', 'https://api.villatheme.com/wp-json/aliexpress/get_products/v2' );
       define( 'VI_WOOCOMMERCE_ALIDROPSHIP_GET_SIGNATURE_GET_ORDER_URL', 'https://api.villatheme.com/wp-json/aliexpress/get_orders' );
       ```
   
 * Can you please clarify what this api at api.villateme.com is exactly doing? What
   information do you collect? and what happens if api.villatheme.com is down or
   becomes unavailable for whatever reason?
 * I think transparency is key to keep community trust, and your response on my 
   questions here [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/chrome-extension-3/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/chrome-extension-3/)
   contradicts what im seeing here.
 * My only goal is to see transparency in what data plugin developers collect and
   what 3rd party services are embedded into the code and what is their usage.
 * Thanks.
