Import your products from your website or Instagram

What Import my shop does

If your products are already on a website or on Instagram, you don't have to type them again. Slaby reads them and makes a draft for each product: name, price, photos, description and sizes or colours where it finds them.

Drafts are not live. Nothing shows on your store until you check the drafts and tap Add. You can fix the name, price, MRP, category and description first.

Open it from Products → Import → "From a website or Instagram". On a new store the dashboard also shows "Have a website or Instagram shop? Import your products". You need the "Import data" permission.

Import from your website in 4 steps

1. 1

   1. Open the website card

   Products → Import → From a website or Instagram → From your website

   It works with Shopify, WooCommerce and most other shops.

2. 2

   2. Paste your shop's link

   Your website link

   Type it like myshop.in. Your home page is best. You can also paste one product page or one category page.

3. 3

   3. Tap "Find my products"

   Slaby reads your product list and product pages, then copies the photos into your store (up to 4 per product). It shows how many products it has found so far.

   You can keep using Slaby. Leave the page open to keep the import going. If you close it, it carries on when you come back. "Stop import" stops it.

4. 4

   4. Tap "Check N drafts"

   When it finishes you see, for example, "We found 48 products on your website". Tap "Check 48 drafts" to review them.

Import from Instagram in 5 steps

1. 1

   1. Ask Instagram for a copy of your posts

   In the Instagram app

   Open your profile → menu (☰) → Accounts Centre → Your information and permissions → Download your information.

2. 2

   2. Pick the right options

   Instagram → Download your information

   Choose Some of your information and tick Content (Posts). Then choose Download to device, Format: JSON, Media quality: High, and tap Create files.

   Pick Format: JSON. With HTML, Slaby can't find your posts.

3. 3

   3. Wait for Instagram's email

   Instagram emails you when the ZIP file is ready. It can take a few minutes or a few hours. Download the ZIP to your phone or computer.

4. 4

   4. Pick the ZIP file in Slaby

   From Instagram → Pick the Instagram ZIP file

   Slaby reads the file on your device and says, for example, "Found 86 posts with photos." Then it sends the photos. Keep the page open until the photos are sent.

   Up to your newest 120 posts are read. Use Chrome if your browser can't open ZIP files.

5. 5

   5. Check the drafts

   AI turns each product post into a draft: a name, description, category and sizes or colours from the caption. The price is taken only from your caption, for example "₹799". A post with no price gets "Add a price".

No Instagram file? Tap "Use photos + captions" under From Instagram. Add each product's photos with its caption, and AI drafts the product for you.

Check your drafts and add them

1. 1

   1. Open "Check your imported products"

   Products → Import → Check N drafts

   Every draft shows its photo, name and price. "No photo" or "Add a price" marks what is missing. "Source page" opens the page it came from.

2. 2

   2. Fix what's wrong

   Tap Edit on a draft to change Name, Price (₹), MRP (₹), Category or Description, then Save. The price you type is your selling price.

3. 3

   3. Remove what you don't sell

   Tick drafts and tap Remove, or tap "Remove draft" on one.

4. 4

   4. Add them to your store

   Tap Add on one draft, tick several and tap "Add N to my store", or tap "Add all with a price (N)". Drafts without a price can't be added until you type one.

   Added products go live on your store straight away, in the category with the same name (or a new one). Sizes and colours become variants at the same price.

After you add them

• The imported price is used for both retail and wholesale. If you sell wholesale, set your wholesale prices on the products afterwards (Bulk edit is quickest).
• Stock, GST rate and HSN code are not imported, and Slaby makes a new SKU for each product. Fill them in on the product, in Bulk edit, or with an Excel import.
• Drafts you don't add are kept for 14 days, then deleted.

What it costs

Products read straight from a Shopify, WooCommerce or product page are free. When a page has no product data Slaby can read, and for Instagram captions, AI writes the draft.

Your store's first 20 AI-written drafts are free (once per store, not every month). After that each AI-written product uses 2 AI credits. If your free drafts run out mid-import, it says "Your free AI drafts are used up. Recharge AI credits to read the rest."

Limits and checks

• Your plan's product limit applies. The review screen shows how many product slots you have left, for example "6 of your 10 free product slots left". When your plan is full, the rest stay as drafts until you upgrade.
• Every product passes the same checks as one you add by hand. Text that isn't allowed is refused ("This text isn't allowed. Change the name or description."). An unusually low price on a costly item may get a quick check by the Slaby team.
• One import runs at a time, and a store can start 5 imports a day. One import makes up to 300 drafts.
• Slaby only opens your shop's public pages and respects the site's robots.txt. Import your own shop only.

हिन्दी में

आपके प्रोडक्ट पहले से किसी वेबसाइट या Instagram पर हैं तो दोबारा टाइप न करें। Products → Import → "From a website or Instagram" खोलें। वेबसाइट: अपनी दुकान का लिंक (जैसे myshop.in) डालें और "Find my products" दबाएँ — Shopify, WooCommerce और ज़्यादातर दुकानें चलती हैं। Instagram: ऐप में प्रोफ़ाइल → मेनू (☰) → Accounts Centre → Your information and permissions → Download your information → Some of your information → Content (Posts) → Download to device, Format: JSON, Media quality: High → Create files। ईमेल आने पर ZIP डाउनलोड करें और "Pick the Instagram ZIP file" से चुनें। दाम सिर्फ़ आपके कैप्शन से लिया जाता है।

हर प्रोडक्ट ड्राफ़्ट बनता है, कुछ भी लाइव नहीं होता। "Check your imported products" में नाम, दाम, MRP, कैटेगरी ठीक करें, फिर Add या "Add all with a price" दबाएँ। बिना दाम वाला ड्राफ़्ट नहीं जुड़ता। AI के लिखे पहले 20 ड्राफ़्ट मुफ़्त, फिर हर प्रोडक्ट 2 AI क्रेडिट; Shopify/WooCommerce से सीधे पढ़े प्रोडक्ट हमेशा मुफ़्त। न जोड़े गए ड्राफ़्ट 14 दिन बाद हट जाते हैं।
