Customer reference metafields now resolve to emails

Try Altera for free

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

Available on Shopify App Store

Customer reference metafields now work just like other reference types - Altera resolves them to something human-readable instead of raw Shopify GIDs.


🚀 What’s New
#

  • Customer references export as emails – customer reference metafields now show the customer’s email address instead of a GID.
  • Import by email – importing a customer reference? Just use the email address and Altera will find the right customer.
  • List support – list.customer_reference works too, with comma-separated emails on export.

🔧 Improvements
#

  • Graceful fallback – if a customer has no email on file, the GID is kept in the export so no data is lost.
  • Cross-store friendly – export from one store and import to another using email addresses instead of store-specific IDs.
