Add products from anywhere

Four ways into your library: paste a URL, clip while you browse, ask the AI, or enter trade pieces by hand. Import once and never re-enter a spec.

Sourcing eats some of your most valuable hours, and most of that time is copy and paste: dimensions into a spreadsheet, images into a folder, pricing into a doc that goes stale by Friday. Tailor replaces all of it with four ways in. Every one lands the product fully specified: photos, dimensions, materials, pricing, and a clean background-removed cutout, ready for boards, renders, and schedules.

Your library vs. your projects

One distinction makes everything else make sense. The Library is studio-wide: every product anyone on your team has ever imported, tagged by retailer, style, and project, searchable across every job you have ever run. Selections are per-project: assign a library product to a room and it becomes a selection, a line item with its own quantity, status, and place on that project’s schedule. Import the sofa once and specify it on three different jobs. The spec travels; the selection stays local to each project.

Way one: import by URL

The fastest path when you already have a link. Paste any retailer URL, big-box or boutique maker, and Vision AI reads the page: photos, depth, width, height, weight, materials, and pricing, with the background removed from the hero image automatically. When a spec is missing from the page, Tailor reads what is there and quietly fills the gap. The product lands in your library with structured specs and a link back to source.

Import a product from a URL

  1. 1

    Open Add product in your Library

    Head to the Library from the sidebar and click Add product. The menu offers every way in: URL import, manual entry, and AI search.

  2. 2

    Choose Import from URL

    Pick Import from URL and the dialog opens with a single field. That field is the whole interface: no template to fill out first.

  3. 3

    Paste the retailer link

    Any product page works. Paste the link exactly as it appears in your browser. Tailor handles tracking parameters and redirects for you.

  4. 4

    Let Vision AI read the page

    Click Import. Vision AI extracts the photos, dimensions, materials, and pricing, and removes the background from the product image so it is presentation-ready on arrival.

  5. 5

    Check the record

    The product appears in your library fully specified, with a clean cutout and a link back to the source page. Open it once to confirm the fields read the way you expect.

    Re-import an existing product any time to refresh its specs, useful when a retailer updates pricing.

One pasted link, one fully specified product: photos, dimensions, materials, and pricing extracted, background removed.

Way two: the Clipper extension

When sourcing is a browsing session rather than a single link, install the Tailor Clipper. See something you love on any retailer, click the Tailor icon, and the piece lands in your library with its image, dimensions, finish, lead time, and pricing already filled in. Clipping and syncing takes about a second and a half per product. No tab-juggling, no spreadsheet graveyard. The Clipper is free with every plan, and getting from install to your first save takes seconds.

Ways three and four: ask, or enter by hand

Sometimes you do not have a link — you have a need. Describe it to the AI: "find me three brass sconces under $400" and it returns real, importable candidates that match the brief. It is the same agent that powers Chat across Tailor, so you can ask from the Library or from inside a project and it works with your firm’s context either way.

And for trade pieces, custom builds, and antiques with no product page at all, manual add is the honest path. Enter the dimensions, finish, lead time, and pricing yourself, and upload your own photos. A manually entered piece behaves exactly like an imported one: it joins the library, drops onto boards and schedules, and carries its specs into every document downstream.

Where products go from here

Every product you add, whether clipped, pasted, found, or typed, becomes a real, usable record the moment it lands. Drop it onto a mood board and the cutout is already clean. Assign it to a room and it becomes a selection with a row on the schedule, a quantity, and a status. Anchor a render with it and the Visualizer knows its shape and finish. The point of importing well is that you only do it once.

Build your library in an afternoon

Paste a link, add the Clipper to Chrome, and turn your next browse into a curated, fully specified product library.
