Do I earn as much per sale with affiliate as I would dropshipping?

Margin per sale is usually lower with affiliate, but so is the work. No customer support, no returns, no ad-spend-to-break-even math. Most FreshStore users value the time back as much as the commission itself.

Can I still feature AliExpress products?

Yes. AliExpress is one of five built-in marketplaces, and you can run stores that feature it exclusively or combine it with Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Etsy.
