💡 Pro Tip — HTTP Request scraping tends to break when sites update their markup. If you’re scraping a major platform, check if ScraperNode covers it — it has maintained scrapers for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and 20+ other platforms that return structured data.

Description

Scrape & Import Products to Shopify from Any Site (with Variants & Images)-(Optimized for shoes)

This advanced n8n template automates e-commerce operations by scraping product data (including variants and images) from any URL and creating fully detailed products in your Shopify store.

This workflow is essential for dropshippers, e-commerce store owners, and anyone looking to quickly import product catalogs from specific websites into their Shopify store.

Self-Hosted Only

This Workflow uses a community contribution and is designed and tested for self-hosted n8n instances only.

How it works

• The workflow reads a list of product page URLs from a Google Sheet. Your sheet, with its columns for Product Name and Product Link, acts as a database for your workflow.

• The Loop Over Items node processes products one URL at a time.

• Two BrowserAct nodes run sequentially to scrape all product details, including the Name, price, description, sizes, and image links.

• A custom Code node transforms the raw scraped data (where fields like sizes might be a single string) into a structured JSON format with clean lists for sizes and images.

• The Shopify node creates the base product entry using the main details.

• The workflow then uses a series of nodes (Set Option and Add Option via HTTP Request) to dynamically add product options (e.g., “Shoe Size”) to the new product.

• The workflow intelligently uses HTTP Request nodes to perform two crucial bulk tasks:

  1. Create a unique variant for each available size, including a custom SKU.
  2. Upload all associated product images from their external URLs to the product.

• A final Slack notification confirms the batch has been processed.

Requirements

• BrowserAct API account for web scraping
• BrowserAct “Bulk Product Scraping From (URLs) and uploading to Shopify (Optimized for shoe - NIKE -> Shopify)” Template
• BrowserAct n8n Community Node -> (n8n Nodes BrowserAct)
• Google Sheets credentials for the input list
