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

CSV and ZIP exports now have a new encoding option, with the UTF-8 BOM turned on by default so non-English characters open correctly in Excel.

Excel compatibility (UTF-8 BOM) - New setting under Advanced options on the export create page, enabled by default for CSV and ZIP (multiple CSV) exports so accented and non-Latin characters render correctly when opened in Excel.
Opt out when needed - Switch the option to UTF-8 (no BOM) if a downstream system (an automated importer, a script, or a data pipeline) doesn’t expect a byte-order mark.
CLI support - Use --csv-encoding utf-8 with altera export create to turn the BOM off from the command line.
