Copy Products From One Shopify Store to Another
Copying products between Shopify stores is the job Ecopy handles most completely. You can import one product from its link, paste a list of product links, take a whole collection, or bring in an entire catalog. Variants, images, prices, tags and product type come across, and you can rewrite, translate and reprice everything before it goes live.

Four ways to copy products between Shopify stores
Ecopy reads the public product data that every Shopify storefront publishes, so the source store does not need to install anything. Choose the method that matches how much you want to bring across.
- ✓Single product: paste one product link and review it before importing
- ✓List of links: paste several product links, one per line, and follow the progress while they import
- ✓Collection: paste a collection link to import every product in it
- ✓Whole store: paste the store address to import its full catalog
When copying products from another store is fine, and when it is not
Copying between stores you own, or importing a catalog a supplier or brand has asked you to sell, is the safe use. Copying a competitor's store is different. Their photos, descriptions and brand name belong to them, and publishing them as your own can lead to copyright or trademark complaints and to your products being taken down.
If you import from a store you do not own, treat the result as a draft. Replace the images with ones you have the right to use, rewrite the description in your own words, and never sell branded goods you are not authorized to sell. Our guide to [copying products to Shopify](/blog/copy-products-shopify/) covers the legal line in more detail.
Copying a catalog into a store for another market
A common use is opening a second store for another country. Import your catalog, translate titles and descriptions into one of 11 languages, and let Ecopy convert prices into the new store's currency with your markup and rounding rules. Import everything as drafts, check a few products, then publish.
Shopify Markets can also sell one store in several countries. A second store makes more sense when you need a different brand, catalog or legal entity in that market.
What Ecopy does not copy
Ecopy copies products. It does not copy customers, orders, reviews, theme settings, apps or blog posts, and it does not keep stock levels in sync with the source store. You can resynchronize an imported product from the History page in the app when you want fresh information from the source.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I copy products from one Shopify store to another?
Yes. With Ecopy installed on the destination store, paste a product link, a list of links, a collection link or the store address, review the result and import it.
Can I import a whole Shopify store at once?
Yes. Paste the store address and Ecopy imports its full public catalog, with progress shown while it runs. You can import the products as drafts to review them first.
Does the other store need to install anything?
No. Ecopy reads the product data that Shopify storefronts publish publicly. Products in a password-protected store cannot be read.
Does Ecopy copy customers, orders or the theme?
No. Ecopy copies products only. Use Shopify's own export tools or a migration app for customers and orders.
Is it legal to copy products from another Shopify store?
Copying between your own stores, or with the owner's permission, is fine. Publishing someone else's photos, descriptions or brand as your own can infringe their rights, so replace them before you sell.
