How to Import Products From AliExpress to Shopify
Updated May 2, 2023.
AliExpress is a great place to source products for your online Shopify store. And the good news is, importing products from AliExpress into your category and landing pages is a relatively easy process if you know how to go about it.
Here’s how:
Step 1: Choose an AliExpress Product Integration App
The easiest way to import Aliexpress products onto Shopify is by using a product integration app. For the purpose of this tutorial, we’ll use the most widely used application, Google Chrome’s Oberlo extension.
Although, there are some great alternatives. Here are some of the more popular ones:
Step 2: Install Oberlo’s Chrome Extension
- First, you’ll need to head over to Google Chrome’s extension database and download Oberlo.
- All you have to do is hit the “Add to Chrome” button on the right-hand side of the extension page.
- This will prompt a pop-up window. To proceed, simply click “Add extension”.
Step 3: Head Over to AliExpress and Start Importing
- Navigate to the AliExpress website.
- Using the search bar, find a product that you like.
- Hover your mouse over the product you’d like to import and click the “Add to Oberlo” button.
- To see your added products, click the “import list button” that appears below the Oberlo extension icon.
- Before importing the product, click the “connect to store” button.
- Next, simply enter your site’s URL and click “connect store”.
- From the import list, click the “Import to store” button.
- The last step is to enter the product details, product price, and assign any photos you wish to the product before loading it into your Shopify store.
And that’s it, you’re all done. Now the products will appear in your Shopify store.
