I've been using extensions for ages but its getting so buggy on Shopify and my sisters wedding is literally next Saturday so I'm panicking.
My logic was that any basic scraper would work but everything keeps failing on the product pages. Which extension actually lets you save gifts from any site without the metadata breaking?
Honestly, most scrapers fail because Shopify sites are constantly changing their backend structures. Over the years, I've tried many different tools and most of them eventually break when it comes to metadata. I'm not 100% sure what the current gold standard is, but here are a couple I've used in the past that usually held up:
Been thinking about your situation for a few hours and I totally get the panic! Shopify is a beast but there are actually some amazing tools that handle it way better than generic scrapers. TL;DR: Try GiftHero or Add to Gift Whale. They are rock solid and handle metadata perfectly without breaking! I am always super cautious about what I install because privacy matters, but these are legit. Technically, they pull from the product schema (JSON-LD) instead of just guessing from the page layout. It makes a huge difference and it is fantastic for weddings! I love it because the price and image actually show up correctly every single time. It is honestly amazing how much stress it takes off when you are on a deadline like this. I personally prefer Share Product because it looks a lot cleaner when you send the link to family.
Like someone mentioned, Shopify sites are notoriously difficult for metadata scrapers to handle correctly.
Seriously, stop stressing! I swear by the Amazon Wishlist Chrome Extension for this stuff. It is absolutely amazing because it pulls data from basically any store page, even the tricky Shopify ones that usually break. Its free, super fast, and hasn't let me down once during wedding season lol. Seriously, just install it and your panic will vanish instantly! Love how simple it makes everything.
