# How to Import AliExpress Products to Shopify (Step-by-Step)

Published 2026-03-02 by the Cloneify Team.

Want to sell AliExpress products on Shopify?

Good news — you don't need to copy-paste anything. No spreadsheets. No CSV files. No downloading and re-uploading images.

There's a much faster way.

## Why AliExpress + Shopify?

AliExpress is one of the biggest product marketplaces in the world. Pair it with Shopify and you've got a solid setup:

-   **Millions of products** — almost anything you can think of
-   **Low prices** — better margins for your store
-   **No inventory needed** — ship directly from suppliers
-   **Global shipping** — most sellers ship worldwide

The catch? Getting those products into your Shopify store used to be a pain.

Used to be.

## What You Need

Just two things:

-   **Cloneify Shopify app** — install it from the Shopify App Store
-   **Cloneify Chrome extension** — [grab it here](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cloneify-copy-products/piokmfhcbjfogcljhdnpemcdmdidfnpj)

That's it. No other tools required.

## How to Import AliExpress Products to Shopify

Here's the full process. It takes under a minute.

### Step 1: Install Cloneify

-   Add the **Cloneify app** to your Shopify store
-   Install the **Cloneify Chrome extension** in your browser
-   Make sure you're logged into both

### Step 2: Find a Product on AliExpress

-   Go to [AliExpress](https://www.aliexpress.com)
-   Browse or search for the product you want to sell
-   Open the product page

### Step 3: Clone It

-   Click the **Cloneify extension icon** in your browser toolbar
-   Hit **Clone**
-   That's it. Seriously.

### Step 4: Check Your Shopify Store

-   Go to your **Shopify admin**
-   Navigate to **Products**
-   Your new product should be right there

## What Gets Imported

Everything comes over. Here's what you get:

-   **Product title** — the full title from the AliExpress listing
-   **All images** — every product photo, in order. No manual downloads.
-   **Description** — the complete product description transfers over
-   **Pricing** — the listed price comes through. You'll want to mark this up for your own margins.
-   **Variants** — sizes, colors, materials, quantities. Each variant keeps its own pricing.
-   **Specifications** — product dimensions, weight, materials, and other specs from the listing

Nothing gets lost. Everything lands in Shopify ready for you to tweak.

## Things to Watch Out For

A few things worth knowing:

-   **AliExpress descriptions can be rough.** Machine-translated text, inconsistent formatting, walls of text. Rewrite descriptions in your own voice before publishing.
-   **Pricing needs your markup.** AliExpress prices are wholesale/low-margin. Factor in shipping, your profit margin, and what competitors charge.
-   **Shipping times vary.** AliExpress suppliers often ship from China. Make sure your Shopify store sets clear shipping expectations so customers aren't surprised.
-   **Image quality isn't always great.** Some listings have professional photos. Others don't. Check how images look on your theme before going live.
-   **One product at a time.** Cloneify currently imports one product per click. For large catalogs, set aside some time — but it's still way faster than manual entry.

## Tips for After You Import

Once the product is in your store:

-   **Rewrite the title** — make it sound like your brand, not like an AliExpress listing
-   **Adjust pricing** — set your own margins and factor in shipping costs
-   **Clean up the description** — shorter, clearer, in your own words
-   **Organize into collections** — add products to the right categories
-   **Update SEO fields** — fill in Shopify's meta title and description for each product

The import saves you the tedious part. The customization is where you make it yours.

## Why Not Just Use CSV Files?

You could. But here's what that looks like:

1.  Copy the product title manually
2.  Download every image one by one
3.  Copy the description
4.  Note down all the variants
5.  Put it all into a CSV template
6.  Upload the CSV to Shopify
7.  Re-upload all the images
8.  Hope nothing broke

And AliExpress doesn't even have a clean CSV export. So you'd be building the spreadsheet from scratch.

Or... click one button with Cloneify.

Your call.

## FAQ

**Do I need any coding or technical skills?** No. It's a Chrome extension. Click a button. That's it.
