How To Import Products From Amazon To Shopify

Importing products from Amazon to Shopify is straightforward when you use the right method. The fastest approach is a third-party import app, which takes 5–10 minutes. If you have fewer than 50 products or want full control over every listing, the manual CSV method works but takes significantly longer. This guide covers all three approaches so you can choose what fits your situation.

Which Method Should You Use to Import Amazon Products to Shopify?

There are three ways to move products from Amazon to Shopify. The right choice depends on your product volume and whether you need ongoing sync:

• Manual CSV import: Best for stores with fewer than 50 products and no need for ongoing inventory sync. Free, but time-consuming - expect 1–3 hours per 50 products.
• Third-party import app: Best for stores with 50+ products or anyone who wants to sync inventory automatically. Takes 5–10 minutes. Costs from $19.99/month.
• Multichannel integration (FBA): Best for sellers who want to continue selling on Amazon while managing both stores from Shopify. Requires a dedicated FBA app.

How Do You Manually Import Products From Amazon to Shopify?

Manual import gives you complete control over every product detail and costs nothing. It is most practical if you have a small catalog or are migrating once and do not need automatic syncing afterward.

Step 1: Export your products from Amazon Seller Central

• Log in to Amazon Seller Central.
• Go to Inventory > Inventory Reports.
• Request a listing report and download it in .csv format once generated.

Step 2: Format the CSV for Shopify

• Open the downloaded CSV file in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Modify the columns to match Shopify's product CSV template (available in Shopify's Help Center).
• Required Shopify fields include: Handle, Title, Body (HTML), Vendor, Type, Tags, Published, Option1 Name, Option1 Value, Variant Price, and Image Src.
• Save the modified file.

Step 3: Import to Shopify

• Log in to your Shopify admin.
• Go to Products > All products.
• Click Import, then select your formatted CSV file.
• Confirm and wait for the import to complete - typically under 5 minutes for 50 products.

What Are the Main Benefits of Moving Products From Amazon to Shopify?

Migrating positions you for long-term brand ownership. On Amazon, you compete on price within their platform and have no access to buyer emails. On Shopify, you control the experience end-to-end:

• Unrestricted product listings: No category gatekeeping. List exactly what you sell.
• Full customer data ownership: Capture emails and build loyalty programs. Amazon prohibits this.
• Customizable branding: Your store looks like your brand, not Amazon's marketplace.
• Integrated marketing tools: Abandoned cart recovery, discount codes, and multi-channel marketing are built in.
• Diversified traffic: Shopify lets you build organic, paid, and social traffic channels - reducing reliance on Amazon's algorithm.
• Cost-effective scaling: Shopify's flat-fee pricing is more predictable than Amazon's referral fees, which typically range from 6–20% per sale.

What Should You Do Immediately After Importing Your Products?

Importing is just the first step. These six actions protect your traffic and set your store up correctly:

1. Audit all imported listings for accuracy - check titles, descriptions, images, and pricing.
2. Rewrite product descriptions to match your Shopify brand voice and add Shopify SEO fields (meta title, meta description).
3. Set up URL redirects if any of your Amazon product pages had significant search engine traffic.
4. Notify your existing customers about your Shopify store - offer a launch discount to drive first purchases.
5. Connect an inventory management system if running both platforms simultaneously to prevent overselling.
6. Back up your Shopify store data immediately and set a recurring monthly backup schedule.

Can You Sell on Amazon and Shopify at the Same Time?

Yes - and many successful sellers do. Shopify's Amazon FBA integration apps let you manage inventory, orders, and fulfillment from a single Shopify dashboard while continuing to list on Amazon. This multichannel approach diversifies your revenue without abandoning your existing Amazon ranking and reviews.
