See every featureStore 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.
Rowquay bulk imports and exports Shopify products (including variants), customers and orders using CSV or Excel (XLS, XLSX) files, with JSON import too. Save mapping templates and export profiles so repeat jobs are quick to set up. Every file is checked before anything is written, so problems show row by row and each job keeps an error report to fix and re-run.
