EffectIO External Importer 2.21.0

Description:

External Importer is a WordPress plugin that imports affiliate products into WooCommerce. You paste a product URL from an eCommerce site and the plugin retrieves the relevant details, including images, descriptions, and prices, without API integrations or CSV files. It is aimed at affiliate websites, dropshipping stores, and store owners.

Data is extracted through several layers of parsers. Structured data parsers read JSON-LD, Microdata, Open Graph, and Twitter Card markup to capture the title, image, description, brand, price, currency, availability, and GTIN. Advanced parsers cover more than 90 affiliate programs and also extract gallery images, old price, category path, specifications, and user reviews. AI parsers, trained on over 1,000 ready-made parsers, handle sites without a structured product schema, and custom parsers for specific sources are available as an additional service. The vendor states the plugin can extract and normalize data from approximately 85% of public eCommerce websites.

Products can be imported as affiliate or simple WooCommerce products, with auto-generated affiliate links through deep links, custom margins for dropshipping, and scheduled price updates. Auto synchronization refreshes prices and availability in the background and can remove out-of-stock items, while automatic import adds new products as they appear on listing pages. The plugin suits stores with hundreds or thousands of products rather than very large catalogs or real-time prices.

The vendor’s own page for External Importer has the full details.
