### Product type

You can import the following products:

* External/Affiliate products
* Simple products

Grouped, Variable, Virtual, and other product types aren't supported. External/Affiliate products will be created by default. These products can't be added to the cart on your website. Instead, visitors will be redirected to external websites to make a purchase.

Simple products are suitable for creating your own store or a [dropshipping store](/monetization/dropshipping.md).

### Duplicates

To avoid adding duplicate products to your website, the plugin will check for duplicates by product URL.
