Already have your gear listed somewhere else? Bring it into MakerManifest instead of retyping it. This walkthrough covers every import option: a kit.co kit, short links from a CSV file, product links from your YouTube channel or a single video description, and an Etsy shop. In every case you review everything before it is added, so nothing lands in your account that you did not approve.
Import From Kit.co
Kit.co shut down in May 2026 and a lot of creators lost the gear pages they had linked in their videos. I wrote about that in Kit.co shut down: what makers should use instead. If you have a kit.co kit, you can import it into MakerManifest rather than building the list again by hand.
Import Short Links From a CSV
If you have been using another short link service, you can upload your short links from a CSV file.
Import From YouTube
Your product links are probably already sitting in your video descriptions. MakerManifest can pull product links from your YouTube channel, or from a single video description if you only want one.
Import From Etsy and Review
You can also import from an Etsy shop, which is useful if you sell your own work and want it on the same page as the tools you recommend. Whichever source you use, the last step is the review, where you check what is about to be added.
Recorded on a Demo Account
The imports in the video are on a demo account, so the lists and links are examples.
After importing, it is worth setting up your affiliate rules and short links so every imported link gets tagged, and using sections and badges to tidy up a big imported list. New to MakerManifest? Start with getting started. If you are switching from kit.co, or looking for an alternative to an Amazon storefront for your gear, this is how importing works in MakerManifest.
