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

Available on Shopify App Store

We’ve fixed a group of issues in the Collections import that could quietly change how a collection’s rules behave, especially in hand-edited files. Exports and re-imports of exported files were not affected.


Fixes
#

  • Source column detection - a Collections file with a Source column and legacy rule columns now imports as a Collections file instead of dropping the Source data.
  • Must Match on edits - a blank Must Match cell keeps an existing source’s matching logic instead of resetting it to all conditions (field reference).
  • Status relations - Status rules now follow Rule: Relation, so Not Equals works, and unsupported relations are skipped with a warning.
  • Exclude rules - exclude rules match any condition, independent of Must Match, so multiple exclusions no longer have to all match at once.
  • Published status filter - the collections export filter now sends the search field Shopify supports, so published and unpublished return the right collections (export filters).

Heads-up
#

  • Published status scope - Shopify decides a collection’s published status by the Online Store channel only, so collections published to other channels but not the Online Store count as unpublished.
