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.
Moving data between Shopify stores often means exporting CSV files and reformatting them manually. Store Porter simplifies this. Install the app on both stores, share a secure code, and select what to transfer. Products, collections, customers, files, pages, and menus move automatically in the background.
