# Supported stores

External Importer allows you to import products from many (but not all) public eCommerce websites worldwide. We have developed a set of special parsers to extract product data from target HTML pages.

### **General requirements**

External Importer retrieves data directly from store websites. Therefore, target websites must comply with the following requirements:

* The website's content must load without JavaScript or Ajax. 
* The target website must not block bot access. 
* Your server IP must not be blocked on the target website. 

Please note that you can still [develop advanced parsers](/extracting-products/custom-advanced-parsers.md) for dynamic websites that use JavaScript.

### **1. Advanced parsers**

These parsers are designed for a **fixed list** of popular online stores around the world.

The biggest advantage of advanced parsers is their ability to extract complete product data, including:

* Title
* Image
* Price
* Currency
* Availability
* Description
* Gallery images
* Old price
* Brand
* Category path
* Specifications
* User reviews

These parsers usually also support:

* Listing pages
* Automatic pagination

The only disadvantage of this approach is that each store requires a unique parser to be developed.

### **2. Structured data parsers**

These are generic parsers that can extract data from pages containing structured data and **product schema**. Supported markup formats include:

* JSON-LD
* RDFa
* Microdata
* Open Graph
* Twitter Card
* and others…

 You can use the [Structured data testing tool](https://search.google.com/test/rich-results) to check if the page contains data markup**.**

The amount and volume of available data depend on the store. Typically, structured data parsers can extract less product information than advanced parsers.

### **3. Adaptive AI Parsers**

We developed this level of parsers by training ChatGPT on more than 1,000 ready-made parsers to find a universal solution compatible with typical eCommerce sites and themes.

These parsers will be used if the source site does not have micro markup for products.

### **4. Affiliate Egg parsers**

If you've installed our other plugin, [Affiliate Egg Pro](https://www.keywordrush.com/affiliateegg), you can use its parsers inside External Importer (including custom parsers).

{% hint style="success" %}
Make sure you are using the latest Affiliate Egg version.
{% endhint %}

{% endcontent-ref %}

### **5. Custom parsers**

 If none of the solutions work for your source or incomplete data is being extracted, we can create a custom parser specifically for your source. We offer this as a paid service.
