To import a product from AliExpress (or any other source) into Shopify, paste the product URL into Sellivo: the import assistant reads the title, description, images, variants, and price in a structured way, optionally lets an AI polish the text and images, and pushes the finished product straight into your store via the Shopify Admin API — no CSV export, no manual copy-pasting, no browser extension required.
Why plain copy-paste importing no longer cuts it
Manually retyping products from AliExpress, Alibaba, or another store costs 20 to 40 minutes per product — downloading and re-uploading images, writing titles and descriptions, creating variants, converting prices. For 50 products, that's several full working days spent purely on import.
Classic CSV importers only solve half the problem: they transfer raw data, but the supplier's language, unstructured variants, and missing SEO fields all remain. The result is instantly recognizable as a dropshipping store.
How the import actually works under the hood at Sellivo
Sellivo analyzes every product URL in stages: first structured data (JSON-LD/Schema.org), then embedded page JSON, then meta/OpenGraph tags, and finally a DOM heuristic as a fallback. If the system detects a Shopify source, it also reads the store's official product feed — which typically returns every image and every variant instead of just the main photo.
Every imported field gets a source tag (source, AI, or manual) and can be locked individually. A locked field is never overwritten by a later AI action — handy if, say, the title is already final but you still want the description rewritten.
The entire fetch process is SSRF-protected, respects robots.txt, and automatically throttles requests per target domain — so your import runs smoothly without getting other people's servers blocked.
Import one product, or an entire category at once
For a single product, the 5-step assistant is all you need: paste the link, review the result, optionally generate AI text/images, apply a pricing rule, and push the fact-checked product to Shopify.
For entire catalogs, there's a batch mode with category crawling: just provide a category or search page URL — Sellivo automatically finds the product links it contains, deduplicates against products you've already imported, and processes the rest as a throttled background queue.
What happens next: copy, images, compliance
Right after import, the supplier's raw data is usually unusable for your own store: wrong language, competitor branding, no SEO structure. That's why AI text rewriting, AI image generation, and an automatic compliance score all run inside the same tool — more on that on the linked topic pages below.
FAQ
Can I import products from AliExpress without a browser extension?
Yes. Sellivo reads the product page server-side from the URL — no Chrome extension, no manual copying, and no CSV export/import needed.
Does the import also work with stores other than AliExpress?
Yes. The import works with any publicly accessible product URL — a competitor's Shopify store, Alibaba, a Wix shop, or classic online stores with structured product data.
If a product has several color variants, are all colors imported?
Yes, as long as the source store lists the colors as genuine variants of the same product. Some stores instead create a separate product for each color — Sellivo detects this and offers to add the additional colors as extra products to the same queue.
What happens with duplicates if I import the same product twice?
Sellivo checks the title and structure against existing products and visibly flags likely duplicates in the editor — including an option to delete the redundant copy.
Does the imported product go live on my Shopify store immediately?
No, it first appears as a draft in Sellivo. Only an explicit click pushes the reviewed product live to your store via the Shopify Admin API.
