Extracting product data from external websites and normalizing it is the first stage of importing products to your website. To start using the plugin, navigate to External Importer > Import.

Open the online store's website and copy the URL of the product you want to promote from your browser's address bar. Depending on the parser, you can extract data from two types of pages:

  1. Product Detail Page: This is the specific product card page, which usually contains a description, photo, price, and other information. You can specify a list of multiple product URLs.

  1. Listing Page: This page contains a list of products based on a category or search query. In this case, the parser will first extract the links to the product detail pages and then automatically go through all the product URLs.

The second option is faster and more convenient because it allows you to bulk import products by entire categories. Listing pages are available for all advanced parsers and nearly 75% of structured parsers.

Some parsers support automatic pagination. In these cases, you'll see both the number of products found and additional listing pages in the parsing log.

If pagination can't be detected automatically, only products from the current page will be extracted. You can manually specify the next page if necessary.

All extracted data is processed, and the normalized products can be viewed in a special section.
