Ready to import products from Amazon to Shopify? Great! It’s a smart choice for dropshippers that combines the advantages of both platforms — Amazon’s extensive inventory and customer base, and Shopify’s customizable store fronts. By learning how to import products from your Amazon seller store to Shopify, you’ll streamline operations and avoid juggling multiple inventories across your eCommerce shops.
There are a few ways to approach Amazon to Shopify integration, and a few alternatives using Doba’s trusted suppliers. Let’s get started!
How to Import Products from Amazon to Shopify: 3 Strategies
Let’s explore the three most common ways to migrate Amazon products to Shopify. The best route depends on a few factors, including:
The number of products you want to import.
How much time you want to spend importing.
If you’re willing to pay for extra convenience.
TIP: No matter which option you choose, always follow Amazon’s drop shipping policies and guidelines.
Option 1: Manual Entry
Best for: Importing a small number of products.
If you’re working with a handful of products, manual migration is simple and free. It’s a great approach for starting small and testing the waters before expanding your product catalog. Here’s how it works:
Log into your Amazon Seller account and copy the information from your product listings, including title, description, and price.
Download the product images.
Log into your Shopify admin panel and go to Products > Add Product.
Paste the details into the appropriate fields and upload the product images.
Repeat for each product you want to import.
This method is straightforward and you won’t need any extra tools, but it’s time-consuming (and exhausting!) if you have lots of products to import. If that’s the case, try one of the following two options for Amazon to Shopify product migration.
Option 2: CSV File
Best for: Bulk importing for free.
With a CSV file, you can manage and upload product data in batches, saving a lot of time compared to manual entry. It still requires some editing, but isn’t as painstaking as option 1. Here’s what you’ll do:
From the main menu in your Amazon Seller dashboard, navigate to Inventory > Inventory Reports.
Under Report Type, choose Active Listings Report.
Click Request Report.
Download the generated report and save it to your device.
Great work! Before you can import the data into Shopify, you must tweak your CSV file so it’s compatible with Shopify’s CSV inventory format and data types. Shopify offers a sample product CSV file. Follow this template to edit your Amazon Inventory Report, resave it to your desktop, and then move on to the importing phase:
In your Shopify admin dashboard, go to Products > Import > Add File.
Select the Amazon inventory CSV file you previously edited and saved.
Click Import Products.
Always verify the product details in your Shopify store to ensure the data was transferred accurately.
Organize and categorize your products as desired.
As mentioned, this option is free and faster than manually moving each product. However, if editing a CSV file with lots of products sounds like too much work (or has too much margin for error), you’ve still got one more option.
Option 3: Third-Party App or White-Glove Service
Best for: The most convenient and accurate bulk importing.
If you’ve got the budget for it, try a third-party migration tool — or even hire an expert to migrate your Amazon products to Shopify. These options aren’t free, but the speed, convenience, and confidence are well worth the price.
In the Shopify App Store, you’ll find apps like Zonify, Reputon, and many more that automate Amazon to Shopify product imports. Be sure to read the app reviews and consider features, price, and other factors before investing in one of these tools.
And if you’re ready to go completely hands off, consider hiring a Shopify Partner to handle the migration for you. This is the most expensive option, but an expert can help with all sorts of tasks in your Shopify store. Plus, you’ll have more time to devote to branding and marketing!
Alternative Ways to Import Products from Amazon to Shopify Using Doba
While importing products directly from Amazon to Shopify is one approach, using Doba simplifies your workflow and enhances your dropshipping capabilities. With Doba, you can offer the same, similar, or even better products available on Amazon. And the best part? Most of our sellers are based right here in the U.S.
Here are three alternative ways to accomplish Amazon to Shopify dropshipping through Doba:
1.Search Comparable Products
Doba’s vetted, U.S.-based suppliers help you build greater trust with your customers and ensure faster shipping times compared to offshore wholesalers. Instead of migrating products from Amazon to Shopify, search Doba’s vast inventory.
You’ll find lots of products that are very similar — or even better — than what’s available on Amazon. And with Doba’s one-click Shopify integration, adding these products to your Shopify store couldn’t be easier.
2. Find Exact Matches by ASIN
Sometimes you’ll want the exact Amazon product for your Shopify store, and Doba can help with this, too. In Doba’s inventory, search by ASIN. Only the products with Amazon Standard Identification Numbers will appear, and you can then use one-click Shopify integration to add them to your Shopify inventory.
