Step 1 · 20 minutes

Pick a product that is already selling

You are not guessing what people want — you are finding what they are already buying. On AliExpress, look for products that tick every box:

Look for the "wow" factor. The products that sell best online solve a small, visible problem or look great in a 10-second video. If you would stop scrolling to look at it, so will your customer.

Step 2

Compare the price with Amazon

This is the glitch: the same product often sells on Amazon for several times the AliExpress price. Search for it on Amazon and write down what it sells for there.

Example of the math

Costs $8 on AliExpress, sells for $29.90 on Amazon. If you price it at $24.90, you are still cheaper than Amazon and have about $17 per sale before ads and fees. That is the kind of gap you are looking for.

No real gap, no store. If the Amazon price is close to the AliExpress price, go back to Step 1. A product without margin will not survive the cost of ads.

Step 3

Copy the product link

Open the product page on AliExpress and copy the full link from the address bar. That single link is all Copyfy needs to build the store.


Step 4 · the main event

Build the store with AI in Copyfy

This is the step where the link becomes an actual store. Open Copyfy through this link:

Build your store here Copyfy · a full store from one AliExpress link

1. Go to the Build tab

Click Build and then Create store with AI.

2. Paste the AliExpress link

Paste the link you copied in Step 3 and click Generate.

3. Wait a few seconds

Copyfy pulls the product photos, writes the descriptions and assembles the whole store for you.


Step 5

Edit the store

The AI gives you a solid first draft. Now make it yours:

Read every line before publishing. Fix anything that sounds machine-translated and make sure every claim about the product is true.

Step 6 · go live

Publish and connect to Shopify

Click Publish and then Connect to Shopify. The store goes to your Shopify account, ready to take orders. Before you send traffic to it, three rules:

1. Be honest about shipping

Show the real delivery time on the product page. A customer who knows it takes two weeks waits calmly. One who expected three days asks for a refund.

2. Stay away from brands

No replicas, no logos, no famous characters. Selling trademarked products gets your store and your payment account shut down fast.

3. Order one for yourself

Buy the product before scaling. You check the quality, see the real shipping time and get your own photos and videos for ads.

You have the whole workflow. The only missing piece is the tool that builds the store:
