Product Import
Import products from Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, and other e-commerce platforms into your Mobazha store.
Overview
This skill helps you migrate or copy product listings from existing platforms into Mobazha. Two approaches are available:
- Bulk Import (recommended) — package products as a ZIP with JSON + images and upload in one call
- Individual Create — create listings one at a time via the Admin API
Bulk Import via MCP Tool
If the store is connected via MCP, use the listings_import_json tool for the fastest bulk import:
{
"import_json": "{\"listings\":[...], \"shippingProfiles\":[...]}",
"images_base64": "{\"photo1.jpg\":\"<base64>\",\"photo2.jpg\":\"<base64>\"}"
}
The tool builds a ZIP archive internally and uploads it to POST /v1/listings/import/json.

Contract Types
| Type | Notes |
|---|
PHYSICAL_GOOD | Requires shippingProfileId matching a profile key/name |
DIGITAL_GOOD | No shipping needed |
SERVICE | No shipping needed |
CRYPTOCURRENCY | Token/coin listings (supports RWA fields) |
Variants
Each variant uses a selections map (not separate name/options fields):
{ "selections": {"Color": "Red", "Size": "M"}, "price": "24.99", "quantity": "50", "productID": "SKU-001" }
Collections
Group products into collections by referencing their slugs:
{ "title": "New Arrivals", "products": ["product-slug-1", "product-slug-2"] }
For the complete field reference, see references/mapping.md.
Image Handling
Images referenced in listings[].images must be provided as base64-encoded data in the images_base64 parameter. The filenames must match exactly.
To prepare images:
- Download product images from the source platform
- Base64-encode each image file
- Build the
images_base64 JSON map: {"filename.jpg": "<base64-data>"}
Bulk Import via Direct API
For non-MCP contexts (e.g., shell scripts), build a ZIP file manually:
ZIP Structure
my-import/
├── listings.json # Required: product data + shipping profiles
├── profile.json # Optional: store profile data
├── images/ # Product images referenced in listings.json
│ ├── photo1.jpg
│ ├── photo2.png
│ └── ...
└── videos/ # Optional: intro videos
└── demo.mp4
Upload
curl -X POST "https://your-store.example.com/v1/listings/import/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
-F "file=@my-import.zip"
Response
{
"data": {
"total": 10,
"created": 8,
"updated": 2,
"failed": 0,
"createdItems": [{ "slug": "product-1", "title": "Product 1" }],
"updatedItems": [{ "slug": "product-2", "title": "Product 2" }],
"errors": []
}
}
References
Detailed per-platform extraction guides and field mappings are in the references/ directory:
Supported Sources
| Source | Method | Notes |
|---|
| Shopify | CSV export or API | See references/shopify-api.md |
| Amazon | Web scraping | See references/amazon-scrape.md |
| Etsy | CSV export or API | Export from Etsy Shop Manager |
| WooCommerce | CSV/JSON export | Export from WooCommerce admin |
| Generic CSV | Manual | Any CSV with title, description, price, images |
Method 1: Shopify Import
- Export products via CSV or API — see
references/shopify-api.md for details
- Transform to Mobazha format — see
references/mapping.md for field mapping
- Download all product images locally
- Build the
listings.json (include shippingProfiles for physical goods)
- Upload via
listings_import_json MCP tool or direct ZIP API
Method 2: Amazon Product Import
- Collect product URLs or ASINs to import
- Extract product data — see
references/amazon-scrape.md for scraping code and DOM selectors
- Transform to Mobazha JSON format — see
references/mapping.md
- Download images locally (use high-res URLs: replace
_AC_US40_ with _AC_SL1500_)
- Upload via
listings_import_json MCP tool or direct ZIP API
Important: Respect robots.txt and rate limits; use 3-5 second delays between requests; verify pricing before import
Method 3: Individual Listing Create
For small imports (< 10 products), create listings one at a time via the listings_create MCP tool:
{
"listing_json": "{\"slug\":\"my-product\",\"metadata\":{\"contractType\":\"DIGITAL_GOOD\",...},\"item\":{\"title\":\"...\",\"price\":\"9.99\",...}}"
}
Or via the Admin API:
POST /v1/listings
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <token>
Images must be uploaded first via POST /v1/media to obtain content hashes.
Authentication
MCP Connection
If the store is connected via MCP (recommended), authentication is handled automatically through the MCP session token.
Direct API Access
For direct API calls, authenticate via OAuth to obtain a Bearer token, then include it in the Authorization header.
Rate Considerations
- Bulk import handles rate management internally — one ZIP upload imports all products
- For individual creates, process one at a time and wait for each to succeed
- Report progress to the user (e.g., "Created 15/50 listings...")
- Large ZIP files (100+ products with images) may take 30-60 seconds to process
Credential Handling
- Never store, log, or display API keys or passwords after use
- For Shopify/Etsy API access, the user should provide their own API keys
- MCP tokens are session-scoped and managed by the platform
Limitations
- Product reviews cannot be imported (they are store-specific)
- Physical goods require shipping profiles — include them in the import JSON
- Payment options are set at the store level, not per-product
- Digital product files must be re-uploaded to Mobazha
- Maximum ZIP size: 300 MB (configurable)
- Maximum video size per listing: 15 MB
