Import and export Shopify data with ease. Matrixify-compatible.

Available on Shopify App Store

Product imports now validate that your metafield columns are targeting the correct resource type, helping you catch mistakes before they happen.


🚀 What’s New
#

  • Owner type validation – when you upload a product file, Altera checks if each metafield column matches an existing metafield definition for the correct owner type (product or variant).
  • Helpful suggestions – if you use a product metafield column but the definition only exists for variants (or vice versa), you’ll see a warning with the correct column header to use.
  • Pre-import detection – issues are caught during file analysis, before your import starts.
