Building a dropshipping business by manually adding Amazon products to your WooCommerce store is time-consuming and error-prone. Copying product details, calculating margins, formatting descriptions, uploading images - these repetitive tasks can take hours for just a handful of products.
With this n8n workflow powered by Piloterr's Amazon Search API, you can automate the entire process of finding, processing, and syncing Amazon products directly to your WooCommerce store with proper pricing strategies.
What does this workflow do?
- Automatically searches Amazon for products based on your specified keywords
- Filters products by rating and quality criteria (minimum 4.0 stars)
- Calculates selling prices with customizable profit margins (default 30%)
- Processes and formats product data for WooCommerce compatibility
- Stores product information in Google Sheets for review and management
- Syncs approved products directly to your WooCommerce store
- Handles batch processing with appropriate delays to respect API limits
