How to import a product from a link

Already selling a product on another website? Paste its link and EcomUp copies the name, description, price, options and photos into a new product for you. You check everything before you save, so nothing goes live by mistake.

Before you start

Your plan must have room for one more product. See How to add a product.
Use the link of one single product page, not a category page or the home page.
Import works with Shopify, WooCommerce and most online stores.

Steps

Go to Products → All Products.
Click Add from link. (Already on the Add product form? Click Import from link at the top instead.)
Click Add from link (1) on the Products page.
Paste the product link into the Product link box.
Click Import product. Wait a few seconds while EcomUp opens the page, reads the details and copies the photos.
Paste the link into the box (1), then click Import product (2).
When it’s done, you’ll see Filled in from the website name. Check every field: name, price, description, options and photos.
Pick a Category. If none of yours matched, you can click Create category “…” to make the suggested one.
Click Publish, or Save as draft to finish later.

If you already typed some details

EcomUp asks Replace what you’ve entered? Choose Only fill empty fields to keep what you typed, or Replace to use the details from the link.

Tips

Always check the price. Sale prices and currency on the other site may be different from yours.
Imported photos go to your media library. Photos you don’t use in a product are deleted after 7 days.
You can import up to 100 products from links per day.
Want to try a different link? Paste it and click Import again.

Troubleshooting

“We couldn't find a product on this page. Check that the link opens a single product.”

The link is probably a category page, a blog post or a home page. Open the product itself in your browser and copy that link.

“This site blocked automatic import. Add the product details manually.”

Some websites don’t allow other tools to read them. Add this product by hand instead.

“That page was not found (404). Check the link.”

The page doesn’t exist any more, or the link was copied wrong. Open the link in your browser to check.

“We couldn't open that page. Check the link and try again.”

The website didn’t respond. Check the link, wait a minute, and try again.

“This link doesn't open a web page.”

The link points to a file or something else, not a product page. Use the product page link.

“You can import up to 100 products from links per day. Try again tomorrow.”

You reached today’s import limit. Try again tomorrow, or add the product by hand.
