Due to Shopify API limitations it is impossible to export fields of the groups below at a time:
You can only select fields out of 4 data types at once. If you wish to export all of them, please split your data preparation into parts and consolidate it after export. |

To generate an export file click on the Run button. The status will be changed to “Pending” and then to “In progress”.

The speed of data generation depends on the amount of data you’ve selected for export. Most data sources preparation takes a couple of minutes. But sometimes this can take even hours, for example, if there are thousands of rows to be prepared. We recommend to set up the scheduler to prepare and export big amounts of data in advance to a certain time. If you need assistance with it, please, contact our Support team. |
Download Shopify CSV/Excel export file
When the export process is completed status will change to “Ready” and you will be able to download the file with all the data you’ve configured in the previous step.
