Learn how to install and start using Importify to import products to your e-commerce store

Importify helps you find winning products from suppliers like AliExpress, Amazon, Etsy, Alibaba, Walmart, Shein, Temu, and 25+ more — and add them to your eCommerce store in a few clicks. You don't hold inventory or ship anything yourself: you focus on selling, your supplier handles the rest.

This guide takes you from "just installed" to "first product live in your store." It should take about 10 minutes.

What You'll Be Able to Do

- Find products in any niche — Importify's Product Finder is updated daily with fresh, in-demand items, so there's always something new to test.

- Sell from 25+ marketplaces — AliExpress, Amazon, Etsy, Alibaba, Walmart, Shein, Temu, and more.

- Save hours per product — built-in AI rewrites titles, descriptions, and SEO copy in seconds (Premium and Gold).

- Skip the spreadsheet — set your markup once and every imported product is priced correctly automatically.

- Manage orders in one place — every BigCommerce order shows up in Importify next to its supplier product, so fulfillment is a click away.

Before you begin

Before getting started, ensure you have:

  • A compatible e-commerce platform (Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, or Jumpseller)

  • Google Chrome/Edge browser installed

  • Active paid plan on your e-commerce platform

  • SSL certificate (for WooCommerce)

Your Importify account is created automatically when you install the app. No separate signup.

Installation Steps

  1. Choose your e-commerce platform:

    Ensure you have an active store on Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, or Jumpseller.

  2. Install Importify:

Choose a Plan

Importify offers three plans - Basic, Premium, and Gold — billed monthly or yearly. Pick the one that fits where you're at:

- Basic - for new stores testing their first products

- Premium - full marketplace access plus AI tools for titles, descriptions, and SEO copy

- Gold - everything in Premium, plus order automation built for higher-volume sellers

Live pricing is shown on the plan page. You'll typically get a free trial — exact terms appear at checkout.

Add Your First Product

There are two ways to add products. Most users start with the Product Finder because it's already built into the dashboard — no setup required. The Chrome extension is for when you want to import a product from any supplier site directly.

Option 1 - Product Finder (start here)

The Product Finder is the fastest way to discover products that are already selling well. It covers every niche, with new listings added every day, so you'll always have something fresh to test.

1. Open Find Products in the Importify menu.

2. Search by keyword (for example, "yoga mat" or "led desk lamp"), or use Browse to scroll through bestsellers.

3. Filter by category, price, order count, rating, and shipping country until you find one you like.

4. Click a product to open the Importify editor with all its details ready to customize:

- Edit the title and description (or hit AI rewrite for fresh copy in seconds)

- Reorder or remove images

- Pick the variants you want and set their prices and stock

- Apply your pricing rule so markup is added automatically

5. Click Add to your store. Importify publishes the product directly to BigCommerce — title, images, variants, prices, and all.

Option 2 - Chrome Extension (import from any supplier site)

The Chrome extension lets you grab products straight from supplier websites — handy when you've already spotted something specific you want to sell.

1. To install the extension, click Chrome, or Edge.

2. Click Add to Chrome, then Add Extension.

3. Pin the Importify icon to your Chrome toolbar.

Then import a product:

The full list of supported marketplaces is at [importify.com/suppliers](https://importify.com/suppliers) — pick one (AliExpress, Amazon, Etsy, and 20+ more) and visit their website.

1. Open a product page on the supplier's site in Chrome.

2. Click the Importify icon in your toolbar (or the Add to Importify button on the page). An Importify modal opens right on the supplier page — no need to leave the site.

3. In the modal, customize everything before publishing:

- Edit the title and description, or let AI generate optimized copy

- Reorder or remove images

- Pick the variants and set their prices

4. Click Add to your store. The product goes straight to BigCommerce — title, images, variants, prices, and all.

Managing Orders

Open the Orders tab in Importify to see every order alongside its supplier product.

One-click fulfillment on AliExpress. For products you imported from AliExpress — whether via the Product Finder or the Chrome extension — you can place the supplier order without leaving Importify:

1. Find the order in the Orders tab.

2. Click Order next to it.

3. Importify opens AliExpress's checkout page with the items in the cart and your customer's shipping address already filled in.

4. Review the details and complete the payment on AliExpress.

Once the supplier ships, mark the order fulfilled in your eCommerce platform, your customer gets the shipping notification automatically.

Products imported from other suppliers (Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, and others) also appear in the Orders tab with a link back to the supplier product - you'll place those orders manually on the supplier's site.

Important Setup Tips

  • Watch the tutorial videos on the website (mandatory)

  • Configure your pricing settings to automate price margin for imported products.

  • Set up your shipping rates in your store settings

  • Configure your store's currency settings

  • Review supplier policies before importing products
