How to Import Your TPT Store to TeachBuySell

Bring your whole TPT store across in minutes. Enter your store link, review your products with categories already matched to TeachBuySell, and import. Products you already have on TeachBuySell are detected and left untouched, so you can import again any time. To access the import tool, you'll first need to complete a quality review by publishing your first listing.

Why Use It?

  • No manual listing creation and no spreadsheets
  • Your products, prices, images and previews come across automatically
  • TPT categories are matched to TeachBuySell subjects, year levels and resource types for you
  • Prices are converted from USD to AUD at a rate you control

How It Works

  1. Find your store. Paste your TPT store link. We confirm your store name and product count instantly.
  2. Fetch. We collect your products directly from TPT. This usually takes under a minute.
  3. Review. Your products appear in a table with TeachBuySell categories pre-filled. Most products need no changes at all. Anything we couldn't match automatically is flagged for you.
  4. Import. Draft listings are created with titles, descriptions, prices, thumbnails and preview files.
  5. Add your files. Drop your resource files, or a folder of them, and we match each to its listing for you to approve.
  6. Publish. Give each draft a once-over and publish.

Step 1: Start the Import

  1. Sign into your TeachBuySell account.
  2. Select Import from TPT from the Manage Listings page (requires verification).
  3. Paste your TPT store link, for example https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/your-store-name.
  4. Check the price adjustment rate. At the default 45%, a $4.00 USD product becomes $5.80 AUD. You can change any price individually later.
  5. Click Get my products.

Step 2: Review Your Products

Everything happens on the page. There is no CSV and no email to wait for.

  • Needs attention filter: shows only products where TPT didn't provide enough detail, for example a missing subject. Fix one and we'll offer to apply the same fix to every other product with the same gap in one click.
  • Edit selected: tick any products and set subjects, year levels, resource types, prices or anything else across all of them at once.
  • Find and replace: swap one category value for another across your whole import, or clean up text in titles and descriptions.
  • Don't import: untick products you want to leave behind.

Products already on TeachBuySell (matched by a previous import or by identical title) are shown with a link to the existing listing and are never changed by an import. If TPT has newer details for one of them, open the existing listing and update it yourself.


Step 3: Import

  1. Click Import.
  2. Watch progress on the page, or leave. We'll email you a summary when it's done.
  3. If anything fails, you'll see exactly which listings and can retry them with one click.

Step 4: Add Resource Files and Publish

Imported listings are drafts, and each is missing one thing: the resource file you sell. TPT doesn't give us those, so they come from your computer. You don't have to open listings one at a time.

  1. When the import finishes, click Add your files. You can also come back to it later: the Add files button on your Listings page opens the same screen, and the Import from TPT page shows how many imported listings are still waiting for files.
  2. Drop your files onto the page, or choose a folder. Zip files are fine, and so is a folder with hundreds of files in it.
  3. Review the matches. We auto-match each file to a listing by its name; nothing is ticked until you've checked it. Tick the rows that are right (the box at the top ticks every row shown), or click the listing on any row to pick a different one.
  4. Click Upload. Files go straight to secure storage and are added to their listings as they land. You can leave the page once it's done.
  5. Give each draft a quick once-over and publish.

A file that lands on the wrong listing can be removed from that listing's Files & Previews tab. Nothing is published by adding files: your drafts stay drafts until you publish them.
