Troubleshooting

I cannot import a product. What should I check next?

Short answer

If a product will not import, use desktop Chrome, confirm the supplier is supported, update the Importify extension, check your plan and store connection, then retry.

Import failures usually come from the browser, supplier page, extension, plan access, or store connection. Work through the checks in order so you can isolate the failing step before contacting support.

Quick checklist

  1. Use a desktop or laptop. Extension imports need desktop Chrome.

  2. Confirm you are on a direct supplier product page, not a category, cart, search, or home page.

  3. Confirm the supplier is supported by Importify.

  4. Update or reinstall the Importify Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store.

  5. Log in to Importify and confirm your store is connected.

  6. Check your plan from the Importify dashboard.

  7. Disable other Chrome extensions temporarily and test again.

  8. Clear cookies and cached files, restart Chrome, and retry the import.

Extra checks for WooCommerce

  • Make sure WooCommerce is installed and active.

  • Make sure the Importify WordPress plugin is installed and active.

  • Use HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate.

  • Go to Settings > Permalinks and use Post name, not Plain.

  • In Importify, reconnect from API settings using your exact public store URL. If needed, test the www and non-www versions.

  • If you use Wordfence, Jetpack, Sucuri, Cloudflare, or another firewall, allow Importify's IP: 162.243.171.163.

  • Ask your host to allow the same IP and check whether server security is blocking external requests.

When to contact support

If the product still will not import after these checks, contact Importify support with your store email, platform, supplier product URL, a screenshot or screen recording, and the exact error message. That gives support enough context to reproduce the issue.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import from mobile?

Use a desktop or laptop for Chrome extension imports. Mobile and tablet browsers do not support the same extension workflow.

What should I check first?

Start with the supplier page, Chrome extension, plan status, and store connection. Most import failures come from one of those checks.

Can another Chrome extension block Importify?

Yes. Disable other extensions temporarily, leave Importify enabled, refresh the supplier page, and test again.

What should I send support?

Send your store email, platform, supplier product URL, screenshot or screen recording, and the exact error message.
