Import products from Shopee with the browser extension
EcomWeb Importer is an extension for Chrome. You open a product on Shopee, add it to your import list, then import it into your EcomWeb store. The name, description, images, price, options, category and reviews are copied, so you don't retype anything.
You can also find every product of a Shopee shop and add them all to your list at once. Products arrive in EcomWeb as drafts, unless you choose to publish them right away.
Install EcomWeb Importer on Chrome
The extension runs on Chrome for desktop and is free.
- Open EcomWeb Importer on the Chrome Web Store, click Add to Chrome, then click Add extension to confirm.
- Click the puzzle piece icon in the Chrome toolbar and pin EcomWeb Importer.
- Click the EcomWeb Importer icon. The side panel opens on the right of the window.
To install from a zip file or use an older version, see Downloads.
Connect your EcomWeb account
You connect once. The extension needs no password or API key.
- In the side panel, select Connect my EcomWeb account. EcomWeb opens in a new tab.
- Sign in to EcomWeb if asked.
- Check that the code on the page matches the code in the side panel.
- Click Approve.
- Go back to the side panel. The extension is connected.
Choose the store that gets the products
If you have only one store, the extension picks it for you.
- In the Import to box at the top of the side panel, open Choose a store.
- Choose the store you want to import products into.
If you just created a store and don’t see it, click Refresh stores.
Add one product to your import list
- Open a product page on Shopee.
- Wait for the page to load its price and images.
- Click the Add to import list button on the Shopee page, or Add to list in the side panel.
The product shows on the Products tab of the side panel as Ready. Adding the same product again only updates its data, it doesn’t create a second copy.
Add every product of a Shopee shop
The extension opens the shop’s pages in a tab of its own and reads each page the way you would. This takes a few seconds per product. You can keep browsing while it runs.
- Open the shop’s page on Shopee.
- In the side panel, choose the Whole shop tab.
- Click Find products. The list of products found grows as it goes.
- When the search is done, click the Add all to import list button for that shop.
Click Pause or Stop to halt it. If the search stopped before it reached every page, click Find again to carry on.
Import products into your store
- Choose the Products tab in the side panel.
- Tick the products you want to import.
- Leave Publish right away (off saves as drafts) off if you want to review the products before customers see them.
- Click the Import button at the bottom of the side panel. The extension switches to the Import history tab.
- Wait for the import to show Finished, then click View in EcomWeb to open the products.
If an import shows Didn’t finish, click Check status to ask EcomWeb again, or Import again.
Copy the Shopee shop’s details
You can turn the Shopee shop’s categories into collections, and use the shop’s name, description and logo for your EcomWeb store. Import the products first, so the collections have products in them.
- Open the shop’s page on Shopee and open each of its categories, so their products load.
- In the side panel, choose the Whole shop tab.
- Click Choose what to copy.
- Tick Create collections from the shop categories, Use the shop's name, description and logo for my store, or both.
- Click Copy to my store.
If the side panel says no products loaded yet for a category, open that category on the Shopee page, then click Check the page again.
Frequently asked questions
Do products imported from Shopee show on my store right away?
Not if you leave Publish right away (off saves as drafts) off. Products arrive as drafts that customers can't see. You review them, then publish.
Who can import products?
Store owners and Admins. Staff can sign in but can't import products.
What happens if I import a product I already imported?
It is skipped, so you don't get duplicates. To overwrite it with fresh data from Shopee, turn on Replace products I already imported. This replaces any edits you made in your store. Reviews you already imported stay as they are.
Does the extension import from TikTok Shop?
No. The extension imports from Shopee only. For TikTok Shop, see Import products from TikTok Shop.
What if I close the side panel during an import?
The import keeps going. Open the side panel again and choose the Import history tab to see the result.
On a shared computer, will the next person see my list?
When you sign out, your import history and chosen store are cleared. If a different account signs in while your products are still in the browser, the extension asks them to keep or clear them, and they can't import anything until they answer. When you sign back in, everything is still there.
I got a connect page I didn't ask for?
Click Deny. This page should only open when you just selected Connect my EcomWeb account in EcomWeb Importer yourself.
