How it sells itself

Stop wasting time on manual exports. Catalog Exporter automates your multi-channel growth by syncing store data with Google Shopping, Meta, and more. Generate dynamic XML/CSV feeds with market-specific pricing, translations, and metafields to boost global conversions. Feeds are hosted on secure URLs with optional password protection.

Store Data Import Export helps merchants move and update catalog data with a safer, guided workflow. Merchants can export products, variants, media, collections, smart collection rules, and metafields, then use the export as a backup or editable import file. The app supports preflight checks, dry runs, and controlled apply steps so merchants can review changes before updating their store.

Key points
  • Multichannel Feeds: Auto-sync products to Google Shopping, Meta, and more.
  • Global Selling: Include market-specific pricing, translations, and locales.
  • Flexible Exports: Create XML or CSV feeds with custom field mapping.
  • Smart Caching: Set cache duration from 10 min to 24 hours for performance.
  • Export products, variants, media, collections, and metafields
  • Import catalog updates with preflight checks and dry run review
  • Bulk update product and collection metafields by namespace and key
  • Create and update smart collection rules from import files
