Stop duplicate files when re-importing URLs

Try Altera for free

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

Available on Shopify App Store

Re-running an import that references image or file URLs no longer has to fill your Files section with duplicates.


🚀 What’s New
#

  • Match URLs to existing files - new import option that checks whether a URL’s file already exists in your store before downloading it, and reuses the existing file when it does (see guide).
  • Great for copying metaobjects between stores - metaobjects with file fields can be exported as full URLs and re-imported as often as needed, reusing the files uploaded the first time instead of duplicating them.
  • Works across the import - applies to product and variant images, metafields and metaobject fields that reference files, and the Files sheet.
