One popular question you send to the ali2woo support center – how to migrate my products to ali2woo?
In fact, the migration process varies depending on the platform you used earlier.
For example, dropshipping plugins like WooDropship, AliDropship, Wooimporter, Shopmaster use WordPress, so the process of transferring the products is quite simple in this case.
If you want to migrate from Oberlo, which is based on the Shopify platform, then the transferring process is more complicated.
Anyway, to start the migration, we recommend to send a request to the support center. Our technical specialists will help you with this task.
Also, below we put detailed instructions for several platforms that users ask to transfer from often.

- If you file is in excel format, resave it in CSV and make sure it has 10 following columns: title, sku, productId, sourceId, sourceUrl, productVarSku, productVarId, productVarAttr, sourceVarId, sourceVarAttr
if it contains additional columns (such as: platform, shopName, warehouse, etc.), remove those columns completely. In result your CSV file should include 10 columns only. - Complete all existed orders and place them on AliExpress before you start the migration process. It’s required step.
- Ask your hosting/server support make a backup of your website database. We strongly recommend you to not skip this step.
