Importing Your First Data on Shoppi

If you have existing data from your website, social media, or blog, now is the perfect time to use it to generate customer engagement and build your store’s presence on Shoppi. Our platform offers seamless integration options that allow you to easily transfer content and set up your store.


Method 1: Importing Data from Existing Sources

Shoppi offers a variety of ways to import content, including direct integration with popular e-commerce platforms.

Auto-Import for WooCommerce and PrestaShop

If your business is already running on WooCommerce or PrestaShop, Shoppi’s software can automatically import your store data with minimal setup:

  • WooCommerce: You can connect your WooCommerce store to Shoppi, and our system will auto-import your products, categories, and multimedia content (such as product images and descriptions).
  • PrestaShop: Similarly, if you’re using PrestaShop, our platform supports direct integration, allowing you to auto-import your existing product catalog, services, and digital goods.

By leveraging these auto-import features, you save time and effort, ensuring your store is up and running on Shoppi without the need for manual data entry.

Use the "Import Data" Feature:

In addition to e-commerce platform integration, you can use our "Import Data" feature directly from the categories section in your dashboard. The system will automatically recognize the content type (e.g., products, services, news) and assign it to the appropriate category for you.

Import via RSS Feeds:

If you have an RSS feed from your website, you can use it to import multimedia data into Shoppi. If you need to generate a feed, a service like rss.app can help you set it up. Follow the tutorial to learn how to import content directly from your website into Shoppi.


Method 2: Insert Your Content Manually

If you prefer, you can also manually add content through Shoppi’s dashboard. Here’s how:

  1. Create Categories:

    • Use the dashboard to create categories that match your store structure. This will help you organize your products, services, or digital files.
  2. Write a News Post:

    • If you're writing a news post, ensure it's relevant to a specific event or update. For more permanent content (e.g., "About Us" or service descriptions), use the "Create Section under Template" feature.
  3. Add Photos and Upload Videos:

    • Share engaging multimedia content by uploading photos and videos that highlight your products or services.

Next Steps: Associating Your Content with Products, Services, or Digital Files

Once you’ve imported or manually uploaded your content, you can associate it with specific offerings:

  1. Associate Products:

    • Link your products to the relevant categories, ensuring a smooth browsing experience for your customers.
  2. Link Services or Digital Goods:

    • You can also associate your content with services or digital goods (such as eBooks, software, or music), making it easier for customers to find and purchase related items.

Conclusion

Whether you’re using WooCommerce, PrestaShop, or manually adding data, Shoppi makes it easy to import and organize your store’s content. Take advantage of our auto-import features to seamlessly transfer your products, services, and digital goods into Shoppi, and start engaging customers today.
