Technical Q&A

Hi, so here’s the deal.

I will prefix this by saying I dont want to use Zendrop, CJ, DSers or AutoDS or any other of these dropshipping tools that use their own chinese agents and that then charge an indefinite amount per sale. I will use my own agent once sales start to pick up.

I want to scrape product data from aliexpress, either using a scraper that I build myself (help appreciated) or with an existing webscraping tool. Anyhow the csv file content that I get out of it in case of the tool would probably as always be in the wrong order and structure so I would have to get it to fit to the shopify csv product file template.

Does anybody know if there is a scraper out there with an integration to shopify in order to format it so it fits the product csv template in shopify?

Other option would be to use another tool if it exists to structure the information from one csv to the next as needed.

If anybody knows anything about this let me know

Much appreech!!!

Hi! If your goal is to scrape AliExpress and format the data for Shopify without using standard dropshipping apps, it’s possible, but it can get complex. Most scrapers don’t natively output Shopify-ready CSVs, so you’d usually need a second tool or script to reorganize the data into the Shopify template.

Tools like AutoDS simplify this process by automatically importing products from AliExpress into Shopify with proper formatting, syncing stock and prices, and handling variants. While you said you would rather not use AutoDS, it can save a lot of time compared to building a scraper from scratch. Compared to doing it manually or with a generic scraper, AutoDS reduces errors and ensures the CSV is compatible with Shopify.
