The import tool copies a product into your store from one of three sources: another Storeep store linked to your account, a Shopify store, or AliExpress. You paste a single product URL and Storeep detects the source automatically. Every imported product is created as a physical, unpublished product so you can review and adjust it before it goes live.
How to import a product
- Go to Products.
- Open the Add new product dropdown.
- Choose Import product.
- Paste the product link into the Product URL field.
- Click Import and wait while Storeep downloads the images and creates the product.
On success you see a confirmation message, the products list refreshes, and you are taken straight to the product edit page so you can finish setup. Storeep decides the source from the URL host, so you do not pick a platform manually.
Importing from another Storeep store
- You can only import from a store that is linked to your account (you must be a member of that store). Otherwise you see "You can only import from Storeep stores linked to your account".
- You cannot import a product into the store it already belongs to. Use the Duplicate action instead.
- Only physical products can be cloned between Storeep stores. Digital products are not supported yet.
- The URL must point at a product page in the form yourdomain.com/products/product-slug. Any other page is rejected.
- Every product image and every image embedded in the description is copied into your media library.
- A near complete copy is made: all variants, prices, stock quantity, low-stock alert, SKU, barcode, weight, offer quantity, order quantity limits, discount expiry, the SEO title, description, and keywords, and the taxable, hidden, landing-page, and indexing settings.
- Your primary market is seeded with the source store's prices. Add other markets yourself from the edit page, since currencies may differ.
- The copy gets a fresh, unique URL slug built from the product name, so it never clashes with an existing product.
Importing from Shopify
- Paste the full product URL, either yourstore.myshopify.com/products/handle or a custom domain with /products/ in the path.
- Storeep reads the product from Shopify's public product data. If the store has a password page or has disabled public product access, the import fails with "Unable to access this product".
- Shopify options (Color, Size, and so on) are imported as Text variant groups. Color swatches are not auto-detected.
- When a variant is on sale, the sale price becomes the Discounted price and the original (compare-at) price becomes the Price.
- Stock, SKU, barcode, and weight are left empty. Fill them in after import.
Importing from AliExpress
- Paste the full AliExpress product URL. Any AliExpress domain works, including regional subdomains.
- Storeep downloads the page and extracts the product data. If the page cannot be reached you see "Unable to access this product page". If AliExpress has changed its page structure you see "Unable to extract product data from AliExpress".
- Color variants are imported with color swatches when the source provides color values. Other variant types are imported as text.
- A promotional price is used as the Discounted price only when it is lower than the regular price.
- The product description is downloaded, cleaned, and its embedded images are saved to your media library.
- Stock, SKU, barcode, and weight are left empty. Fill them in after import.
How images are handled
- For Shopify and AliExpress, up to 10 images are imported (matching the product media limit). Storeep-to-Storeep clones copy all images.
- Images are converted to WebP where the format allows (JPEG, PNG, BMP, AVIF). GIF and WebP are kept as is.
- Any single image larger than 5 MB is skipped. The rest still import.
- If every image fails to download, the whole import is aborted, because a product needs at least one image. You then see "Failed to import product images" or "No product images found".
Defaults set on every imported product
- It is saved unpublished. Review it, then publish it manually.
- It is assigned to your primary market only. Add more markets from the Markets tab on the edit page.
- It gets a unique URL slug from the product name. Change it in the Search engine optimization tab.
- For Shopify and AliExpress imports the quantity selector is on with a maximum of 3 units per order, and search engine indexing is on. Adjust both on the edit page.
- A discounted price is kept only when it is strictly lower than the regular price, otherwise it is dropped.
- Long descriptions are cleaned and capped at 30,000 characters, so very long source descriptions may be trimmed.
