CopyHero turns supplier product information into products you can review,
process, and publish to Shopify. Start with a small import, then follow its
progress from one place.

## Before you begin [#before-you-begin]

Prepare these three things:

1. A Shopify or AliExpress product URL, a Shopify collection URL, or a CSV with
   a **Product URL** column.
2. A destination Shopify store if you want to publish the result.
3. A workflow if you want CopyHero to process the product immediately after
   import. You can also import first and start a workflow later.

## A typical first run [#a-typical-first-run]

1. [Connect a destination store](/help/stores/connect-shopify).
2. [Import one or more products](/help/products/import-products).
3. Choose **Start Workflow** during import, or select **Skip Workflow**.
4. Review the run and its individual jobs.
5. Retry failed jobs after correcting the underlying problem.

## How work is organized [#how-work-is-organized]

A workflow defines the steps CopyHero should perform. Starting it creates a run
for the selected products, and each step becomes a job whose progress and
result you can inspect.
