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

Available on Shopify App Store

When you import a product file with multiple variants, it wasn’t always clear which Shopify variant ended up matched or created on each row. The result file now spells it out.

What’s New
#

  • Variant ID (Ref) column - added to the result file for every product import, showing the variant ID for each row that produced or updated a variant.
  • Works with any variant key - whether you key on Handle, Variant SKU, or Variant ID, the column lands the right id on the right row.
  • Round-trip ready - sits next to the existing ID (Ref) and Handle (Ref) columns, so you can use the result file directly as the input to a follow-up variant-level import.
