How to copy a product from another Shopify store to your store

Updated 10/27/2026

Short answer: Shopify lets you import products with a CSV file (Products, Import). You need a CSV file in Shopify's column format with the title, images, variants, price and description of the product you want to copy. You can type that file yourself, or use a tool that reads the product page and exports a CSV.

Steps to do it by hand

Open the original product page and copy the title, description, price, compare-at price and the name of each variant.
Download the product images or copy the image links.
Download Shopify's sample CSV file, fill in one row per variant and put the image links in the image column.
In Shopify admin: Products, Import, choose the file, click Import products. Products arrive as drafts so you can check them before selling.

Before you sell

Copyright: product data is public, but the images and description may belong to the original shop. Take your own photos and rewrite the description before running big ad campaigns.
Pick the right product: copying is easy; picking a product worth copying is the hard part. Check how many shops are running video ads for that product before you copy it.
Product page shows Unavailable: open the product in Shopify, go to the sales channels section and tick Online Store.
