How to List CJ Products to Your Shopify Store?
How to publish one product to your connected Shopify store, directly from its CJ product detail page.
The number beside a field in the screenshot matches the numbered step in the text. Tap any screenshot to enlarge.
Quick overview
Open the product and start a listing
On the product detail page, the buttons at the bottom of the price area are where listing begins.
- Open the CJ product you want to sell. Check the title, images and price are the ones you want — this is exactly what will be copied to your store.
- Click List to open the listing editor and create a brand-new product in your store.
- List vs the neighbouring buttons: Connect links this CJ product to a product that already exists in your store instead of creating a new one (see branch B1); Buy Sample just orders a sample and does not list anything.

Choose the store and fill in the basics
The listing editor opens on the Products tab. This is where you pick which store the product goes to and set its store-facing title.
- Store Selection — pick the Shopify store to publish to (here haha14). Switching the store also reloads that store's saved defaults for the fields below (product type, vendor, collections), so choose the store first.
- Charge Tax — tick this if Shopify should apply tax to this product at checkout; leave it off for tax-free items.
- Product Type and Vendor — the product category and brand/supplier name shown in your Shopify admin. They are pre-filled from the store's template; edit them if you want.
- Title — the product name buyers will see in your store. It is pre-filled from CJ; rewrite it for your own shop if you like.
- Collections and Tags — the store collection(s) the product is added to, and any search tags. Collections come from your Shopify store; tags are free text.
- Store Selection and Title are required — an empty one stops the publish (see E1).
- The chosen store must still be authorised. If its Shopify connection has expired, listing will fail and you'll need to reconnect the store first.

Set shipping and the price of every variant
The Variant Pricing tab decides where the product ships from, whether shipping is baked into the price, and the price of each colour/size combination.
- Shipping location — the warehouse whose stock this listing draws on (here cjdropshipping, with its live total inventory shown). You may tick more than one.
- Whether the listing price includes shipping cost — Included means the price you set already covers delivery (so you can offer "free shipping"); Excluded means shipping is charged on top at checkout.
- Default shipping method — the Shipping From warehouse, the country you Ship Most to, and the Shipping Method together decide the delivery time, shipping cost and tracking shown just below. This is the method used by default when orders come in.
- Your Price — the price buyers pay, one row per variant, in the currency shown. Fill it in for every row. The Recommended Listing Price button fills all rows in one click using CJ's suggested markup (here it set 395.68, ≈ $58.27, against a $19.73 cost).
- Every variant must have a price greater than 0 — a blank or 0 price stops the publish (see E1). Use Recommended Listing Price to fill them all at once.
- A Shopify product can hold at most 100 variants. This dress has 42, so it is fine; a product with more than 100 colour/size options cannot be listed as one product.

Choose which images (and video) to publish
The Images&Videos tab shows every picture CJ has for this product. All are selected by default.
- Each picture has a tick box in its corner. Leave a picture ticked to publish it; untick any you don't want in your store.
- The first picture is marked Cover Image — it becomes the main product photo. Scroll down on this tab for the Videos section if the product has video.
- You are responsible for making sure the images you publish don't breach anyone's copyright, as the notice at the top states.

Review and edit the description
The Description tab holds the product text that appears on the Shopify product page. It is pre-filled from CJ and fully editable.
- Edit the text freely using the toolbar (bold, italic, underline, alignment, links). Rewrite the pre-filled Overview and Product information to match your shop's tone if you wish.

Publish with List It Now, then confirm
List It Now (bottom-right of the editor, on every tab) sends the product to your store. Publishing runs in the background — you don't wait on this screen.
- Click List It Now. A confirmation appears: "Listing in progress. You may check the listing status in On Listing. Listed products can be managed in Listed."
- Use On Listing to watch progress, and Listed to manage products that finished publishing. You can close the box and carry on with Find More Products.
- How to confirm it worked: back on the product detail page, the button now reads Added (highlighted) and the Lists count next to the title has gone up by one.
- A required field is empty (title, or a variant price) — see E1.
- This product is already listed to this store — you must delete the old listing first (see E2). It is never published twice.
- A listing for this product & store is already running — wait a few minutes for it to finish before trying again.
- The store's daily publish limit has been reached — try again the next day.
- The store's Shopify authorisation has expired — reconnect the store, then list again.

⚠ Exceptions
Things that stop the publish and need a decision from you.
E1A required field is empty
What happens: when you click List It Now with a required field blank, publishing is refused. The tab holding the problem gets a small warning mark, and a grey hint points at the field — for example "Please enter product title." if the Title is empty, or "Please enter your store price." if any variant price is missing. Nothing is sent to your store.
What to do: go to the flagged tab and fill the field. The two required fields are the Title (Products tab) and a price > 0 for every variant (Variant Pricing tab) — the Recommended Listing Price button fills every price in one click. Then click List It Now again.
E11
E2The product is already listed to this store
What happens: if this exact product has already been published to the selected store, List It Now is blocked with "To list this product, please delete it from 'Listed' first and list again." CJ will not create a duplicate listing on the same store.
What to do: if you meant to re-list it (e.g. to redo the pricing), click Go to Delete, remove the old listing from Listed, then list it again — note that deleting the listing here also removes the original listing. If you did not mean to re-list, click Cancel; the product is already live. To sell it in a different store, just change Store Selection at the top and list to that store instead.

🔀 Branches
Optional alternative paths — not errors.
B1Connect to a product that already exists in your store
When to use it: you already have this product in your Shopify store (created earlier, or by another tool) and just want CJ to fulfil its orders — you don't want a second copy created.
What to do: on the product detail page, click Connect instead of List (marked B1 in the node 1 screenshot). You then match the CJ product to your existing store product, rather than filling in the new-listing editor covered in steps 2–6.
B2List using a saved Template instead of editing by hand
When to use it: you list many products the same way (same pricing rule, collections, shipping) and don't want to re-enter it each time.
What to do: in the listing editor, the left panel offers Custom Editing (the manual path in steps 2–6) and Template Listing. Pick a saved template — or use Add New Template to create one — and its settings are applied automatically, so you can publish with far fewer edits.
