Scrape & Import Products to Shopify from Any Site (with Variants & Images)-(Optimized for shoes)

This advanced n8n template automates e-commerce operations by scraping product data (including variants and images) from any URL and creating fully detailed products in your Shopify store.

This workflow is essential for dropshippers, e-commerce store owners, and anyone looking to quickly import product catalogs from specific websites into their Shopify store.


Self-Hosted Only

This Workflow uses a community contribution and is designed and tested for self-hosted n8n instances only.


How it works

  • The workflow reads a list of product page URLs from a Google Sheet. Your sheet, with its columns for Product Name and Product Link, acts as a database for your workflow.

  • The Loop Over Items node processes products one URL at a time.

  • Two BrowserAct nodes run sequentially to scrape all product details, including the Name, price, description, sizes, and image links.

  • A custom Code node transforms the raw scraped data (where fields like sizes might be a single string) into a structured JSON format with clean lists for sizes and images.

  • The Shopify node creates the base product entry using the main details.

  • The workflow then uses a series of nodes (Set Option and Add Option via HTTP Request) to dynamically add product options (e.g., "Shoe Size") to the new product.

  • The workflow intelligently uses HTTP Request nodes to perform two crucial bulk tasks:

    1. Create a unique variant for each available size, including a custom SKU.
    2. Upload all associated product images from their external URLs to the product.
  • A final Slack notification confirms the batch has been processed.


Requirements

  • BrowserAct API account for web scraping
  • BrowserAct "Bulk Product Scraping From (URLs) and uploading to Shopify (Optimized for shoe - NIKE -> Shopify)" Template
  • BrowserAct n8n Community Node -> (n8n Nodes BrowserAct)
  • Google Sheets credentials for the input list
  • Shopify credentials (API Access Token) to create and update products, variants, and images
  • Slack credentials (optional) for notifications
