Many people love using WordPress WooCommerce because of its versatility, making it possible to build any product type. One of its most popular features is the ability to integrate multiple eCommerce sites simultaneously. If you are hoping to expand your online business, Amazon would be a fantastic option! No need for significant expenditures in ordering or maintaining inventory—you may start an internet shop now.

However, transferring products data between the two applications might require online store owners quite a while to finish. For this reason, we will be introducing you to our tutorial on How to import Amazon products to your WooCommerce store using a plugin. Hope you enjoy it!

About Amazon Product Importer extension

If you are working on both Amazon and WooCommerce platforms, it is important to save up as much time as possible as synchronization will require a high level of attention. The first step in every process is to update the product status between the two eCommerce solutions, and the best way to do so is to use a plugin. That’s why you will need the Amazon Product Importer plugin!

With this extension installed, you can import any product from any Amazon marketplace in one click and make it available to customers in your WooCommerce shop. Customers may purchase the imported products from you or as a referrer. In addition, online store owners can also add/change information on existing items by supplying Amazon’s current product ID.

Other advantageous points of Amazon Product Importer that you can not miss out on are:

  • It takes little effort to set up and use.
  • Has the ability to work with your imported items before and after the import.
  • Just one click lets you import your WooCommerce shop with all the preconfigured Amazon settings.
  • You may choose to import the product as a Simple, Variable, or Affiliate product.
  • Plenty of fields for you to add during the import Amazon products process.
  • There’s a free Chrome add-on available.

The great thing about this plugin is that all of these astonishing features only come at a very affordable price - $79 a year and you will get a refund in case it does not work well on your system in the first 30 days.

These two fields are especially essential to integrate the plugin along with your Chrome extension. Feel free to make changes to your Secret key if it is necessary.

Step 3: Fill in the import form

To open a product page you wish to import into your WooCommerce shop in the same Chrome browser in which you’ve already installed the supported Chrome extension, you need to first open the Amazon product page in the same Chrome browser. At this point, you will see an import Amazon products form appear on the screen asking online merchants to paste in their “Import link” and “Secret key”:
