Faster price updates on large Shopify stores

Try Altera for free

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

Available on Shopify App Store

If you update prices on a large store with a spreadsheet, your imports now finish sooner and fail less often.

Improvements
#

  • SKU lookups - Imports with Variant SKU [ID] now load your variants in one Shopify bulk request, about 33 minutes instead of 2-3 hours for 8 million variants (Update products by SKU).
  • Other ID columns - Variant ID [ID], Variant Barcode [ID], and ID [ID] imports use the same faster lookup on stores with 10,000 or more variants.
  • Market prices - Imports with Price / Market columns now send up to 250 prices to Shopify in one request instead of one request per product (Market price fields).
  • Clearing market prices - A blank market price cell no longer makes the import read your whole price list, which took hours on large catalogs.
  • Cancel - A cancelled import now stops its Shopify requests within seconds, so the next import on your store starts at full speed.

Fixes
#

  • Busy price lists - Imports now retry when Shopify reports that a price list is being changed, instead of failing about 1 in 10 products.
