Adding products to your Shopify store one by one can quickly become a time-consuming task, especially when you're migrating products from another website or building a large catalog. While manual imports work for a handful of products, they become inefficient when you need to import dozens or even hundreds of items.
With Cloneify's Bulk Clone feature and the Cloneify Chrome Extension, you can extract product URLs from collection pages and import up to 50 products at a time in just a few clicks.
In this guide, we'll walk through the complete process.
Why Use Bulk Product Import?
Bulk importing helps you:
- Save hours of manual work
- Import dozens of products simultaneously
- Avoid copying product information one by one
- Build your Shopify catalog much faster
- Easily migrate products from supported websites
Instead of opening every product individually, Cloneify lets you collect all product URLs from a collection page and bulk clone them.
Before You Begin
You'll need:
- A Shopify store
- Cloneify installed
- Cloneify Chrome Extension installed
- The collection page you want to import from
Watch the installation and usage guide for the Cloneify Chrome Extension before getting started.
Step 1: Open the Collection Page
Navigate to the collection or category page containing the products you want to import.
For example:
- Summer Collection
- Shoes
- Electronics
- Furniture
- Best Sellers
The extension will extract every product URL visible on that collection page.
Step 2: Open the Cloneify Chrome Extension
Click the Cloneify extension icon in your browser.
You'll see several available tools inside the extension.
Step 3: Open the "Extract URLs" Section
Inside the extension, select:
Extract URLs
This tool scans the current collection page and finds every product URL available.
Step 4: Click "Extract URLs"
Press: Extract URLs
Cloneify will automatically scan the page.
After a few moments, you'll see a list of all detected product URLs.
No manual copying required.
Step 5: Copy All Product URLs
Once extraction is complete, click:
Copy All URLs
Every product URL from that collection page is copied to your clipboard.
Pro Tip
If you're importing a large catalog, paste these URLs into:
- Notepad
- Google Sheets
- Microsoft Excel
This allows you to reuse the URLs later without extracting them again.
Step 6: Repeat for Every Collection Page
Many online stores split collections across multiple pages.
For example:
- Page 1
- Page 2
- Page 3
Repeat the extraction process for each page:
- Open the next page.
- Click Extract URLs.
- Click Copy All URLs.
- Save them into your document.
By the end, you'll have every product URL ready for bulk importing.
Step 7: Open the Cloneify Shopify App
Now return to your Shopify Admin and open the Cloneify app.
Navigate to the Bulk Clone section.
Step 8: Paste the Product URLs
Paste the copied URLs into the Bulk Clone input box.
For the best performance, import 50 product URLs at a time.
This keeps the cloning process fast, reliable, and easy to monitor.
Step 9: Start Bulk Cloning
Click:
Start Bulk Clone
Cloneify will begin importing all products automatically.
Within a few minutes, your selected products will appear in your Shopify store with their available product information.
Step 10: Repeat Until Finished
If you have additional URLs saved in your Notepad or spreadsheet:
- Copy the next batch of 50 URLs.
- Paste them into Cloneify.
- Start another Bulk Clone.
Continue until your entire catalog has been imported.
Tips for Faster Bulk Imports
- Import products in batches of 50 URLs.
- Save extracted URLs in a spreadsheet for future use.
- Extract URLs from every collection page before starting the import process.
- Monitor completed imports before starting the next batch.
- Organize URLs by category to keep your Shopify store structured.
