Need to import products into your Shopify store but not sure where to start with the Chrome extension?
This guide walks you through the exact steps — so you're up and running in minutes.
Step 1: Install the Cloneify Chrome Extension
Install directly by clicking this URL — Install.
Click Add to Chrome and confirm by clicking Add extension.
Once installed, the Cloneify icon will appear in your Chrome toolbar. Don't see it? Click the puzzle-piece icon and pin it.
Step 2: Open the Cloneify App from Your Shopify Admin Dashboard
Log in to your Shopify admin and click Apps in the left sidebar.
Select Cloneify from your installed apps list to open the dashboard.
Step 3: Copy Your API Key and Connect the Extension
Inside the Cloneify app, go to Chrome Plugin and scroll down until you see your API key.
Copy it. Then open the Cloneify extension from your Chrome toolbar, paste the key into the field, and save.
That's it — your extension is now connected to your Shopify store.
Keep your API key private. It links the extension directly to your store. Don't share it in screenshots or publicly.
Step 4: Open Any Product Page and Click "Clone Product"
Browse to any supported product page you want to import.
Click the Cloneify icon in your Chrome toolbar and hit Clone Product.
Cloneify instantly captures:
- Title and description
- All images (in order)
- Pricing
- Variants (sizes, colors, materials, etc.)
Step 5: The Product Is Added to Your Shopify Store
Go back to Shopify Admin → Products.
Your cloned product is already there. Review it, adjust your pricing, and publish when ready.
Tips for a Smooth Import
- Rewrite descriptions — don't use the exact copy from the source. Make it sound like your brand. Duplicate content doesn't rank well on Google.
- Set your own prices — factor in your margins and shipping costs before publishing.
- Check images — make sure they display correctly on both mobile and desktop.
- Fill in SEO fields — add a meta title and description to every product page. Shopify has dedicated fields for this.
- Review variants — make sure sizes, colors, and options came through correctly.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Publishing immediately after cloning. Always review products before making them live. Check descriptions, pricing, and images first.
- Using the same description as the source. Google penalizes duplicate content. Rewrite product descriptions in your own words.
- Forgetting shipping settings. Cloned products don't automatically have shipping profiles. Set those up in Shopify admin.
- Ignoring SEO. Every product page is a chance to rank on Google. Fill in meta titles, descriptions, and use clear URL handles.
