Importing Products
2 min read
The first thing Mashup needs is a product. You have four sources to choose from.
Shopify Catalog
If the product already lives in your Shopify store, pick Shopify and browse your catalog. Mashup loads your products with images, descriptions, variants, prices, and any metafields. This is the most accurate source — the resulting page already matches your real product data exactly, and publishing produces a page that is in sync with the existing product record.
Use this when the product is yours and you want a high-converting product page for it.
Amazon URL
Paste any Amazon product URL — for example, an amazon.com/dp/B0XXXXXX link. Mashup extracts the title, bullet points, description, all images and videos, variants (size, color, capacity), reviews, ratings, and the "About this item" section. We then convert that into a structured product object that Mashup's design and copy engines can use.
Use this when you are sourcing inspiration from Amazon, or when you are about to add an Amazon product to your store and want a built-from-scratch landing page rather than copying Amazon's own listing.
AliExpress URL
Paste any AliExpress product URL. Mashup extracts the same kinds of fields as the Amazon adapter — title, images, variants, descriptions, ratings, reviews. AliExpress imagery is often raw and inconsistent; we recommend using AI Product Photos alongside the Page Builder to refresh the visuals before publishing.
Use this when you are building a dropshipping store sourced from AliExpress.
Custom URL
For any other product anywhere on the web, paste the URL and Mashup will do its best to extract a usable product object. Custom-URL extraction is more conservative — we will pick up the title, body copy, key images, and pricing if we find them, but not always reviews or variant matrices. You can still build a great page from a custom URL, you may just need to fill in a few fields manually in the Design Studio.
Use this when sourcing from Etsy, eBay, a competitor's Shopify store, or any niche site.
What Mashup Does Not Do
Mashup does not place orders, manage inventory, or sync prices back to the source. We extract the product information once at import time, and from that moment on the page lives in your Shopify store independent of the source. If the AliExpress listing changes price tomorrow, your Mashup page does not change automatically — you would re-import to refresh.
We do not use the imported text verbatim. The Copy Studio rewrites and restructures everything to fit your chosen template's design intent and to read in your audience's voice. This is intentional: pages that ship with verbatim Amazon copy do not convert, and they are not your brand.
Import Speed and Failures
Most imports complete in eight to twelve seconds. Amazon and AliExpress occasionally rate-limit us, and complex multi-variant products can take up to thirty seconds. If an import fails, Mashup tells you why (the URL was unreachable, the source page format changed, the product was out of stock and could not be parsed) and offers to retry. Build credits are not consumed when imports fail before the Design Studio loads.
