Use **Import to Shopify** to add products from Shopify or AliExpress. You can
enter links, upload a CSV, or fetch a public Shopify collection.

## Choose an import method [#choose-an-import-method]

The import drawer supports:

* **CSV:** upload a file containing a **Product URL** column. Additional
  columns are retained as extra product data.
* **Links:** enter one or more Shopify or AliExpress product-page URLs.
* **Collection:** enter a Shopify collection URL and let CopyHero fetch the
  products in that collection.

## Review the products [#review-the-products]

CopyHero validates the submitted rows before continuing. Remove invalid rows or
correct their URLs before confirming the import.

## Choose destination and processing [#choose-destination-and-processing]

Choose exactly one destination store before opening **Import to Shopify**. In
the import steps, you can configure import options and optionally select a
workflow.

* Choose **Start Workflow** to process the imported products immediately.
* Choose **Skip Workflow** to import now and start a workflow later from the
  Products page.

The Product Library has a separate import path. Library imports create internal
products and do not push anything to Shopify until you explicitly choose a
destination action.

## Confirm the import [#confirm-the-import]

Review the product count, destination store, and selected workflow before you
select **Confirm Import**. The import starts as background work; review its run
and jobs from the workflow history.

## Expected result [#expected-result]

Valid products are added to your catalog and linked to the selected destination
store. A selected workflow starts after import; **Skip Workflow** leaves the
products ready for a workflow you start later.

To reuse the same destination, workflow, and import options on every import, see
[import profiles](/help/settings/import-profiles).
