How to Migrate a Product Catalogue to a New Platform with ChatGPT
Migrate a product catalogue with ChatGPT and ToolRouter. Format products as platform-ready import files for Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce.
Tool
Use ChatGPT with Catalogue Scraper to extract a product catalogue and produce a platform-ready import file. ChatGPT is well-suited for the formatting step — turning the raw extraction into a CSV or JSON that matches the exact column order and naming the target platform expects.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Catalogue Scraper tool:
- Provide the storefront URL and the target platform's import template.
- Ask ChatGPT to run `scrape_catalogue` to pull the full catalogue data.
- Have ChatGPT format the output to match the import template exactly, including column order.
- Download the formatted file and import it into the new platform.
Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Catalogue Scraper tool
Use catalogue-scraper to extract products from https://mystore.com. Format the output as a WooCommerce CSV with these columns in order: ID, Type, SKU, Name, Published, Regular price, Categories, Images, Short description, Description. Return the CSV as a downloadable file.
Tips
- Match the target platform's column order exactly — most importers fail on column mismatches even when the data is correct.
- Validate one row in the target platform before running the full import to catch schema issues early.
- Keep product IDs blank in the import file so the new platform assigns its own; carrying over old IDs causes conflicts.
