Unit price imports just got simpler. You can now use individual columns for each unit price field instead of dealing with JSON formatting.
🚀 What’s New # Separate columns – use dedicated columns for Unit Price Total Measure, Unit Price Total Measure Unit, Unit Price Base Measure, and Unit Price Base Measure Unit. Export field group – select the new Unit Price Columns group when creating product exports to get the separate column format. Clear unit prices – set either measure value to 0 to remove unit pricing from a variant. 🔧 Improvements # Backwards compatible – the original JSON format in Variant Unit Price column still works exactly as before. Pre-import validation – file analysis now validates separate column values before import starts. Better error messages – new error code PRD031 helps identify issues in the separate columns, while PRD019 covers JSON format errors. 📝 How It Works # Instead of JSON:
Activity exports just got more useful. You can now include order details when exporting order-related events, and filter your exports by the type of action that occurred.
🚀 What’s New # Order fields in activity exports – include order ID, name, email, phone, tags, total price, payment status, fulfillment status, and processed date when exporting order-related events. Verb filter – filter activity exports by action type such as create, update, destroy, refund_created, and more. 🔧 Improvements # Phone formatting – order phone numbers in activity exports now use the same formatting options as order exports. Status formatting – payment and fulfillment status fields display in lowercase format consistent with order exports. ⚠️ Heads-up # Verb filter is client-side – when using the verb filter, export counts will not be available since filtering happens after data is retrieved.
You can now export your Shopify data directly to Google Sheets or Google Drive-no more downloading files and uploading them manually.
🚀 What’s New # Google Sheets exports – send data directly to a Google Sheet that updates automatically with each scheduled run Google Drive exports – upload export files to a specific folder in your Google Drive for easy sharing and backup Google Drive imports – import spreadsheets directly from Google Drive without publishing them to the web 🔧 Improvements # Remote Connections – manage all your Google, FTP, and SFTP connections in one place under Settings > Remote Connections Granular permissions – Altera only accesses the specific Google Drive folders or sheets you authorize, not your entire Drive
We’ve added new filtering options for product exports that let you target products based on whether they have a Shopify product category assigned.
🚀 What’s New # Category filter – filter product exports by category ID with four options: is equal to, is not equal to, is set, and is not set. Is set / Is not set – quickly find products that are missing a category or already have one assigned.
You can now control the URL handle for metaobject definitions when importing and exporting.
🚀 What’s New # Capability: Online Store URL Handle – new field for metaobject definitions that sets the URL path for published entries. On import, the handle defaults to the definition’s type but can be overridden with a custom value. On export, the configured URL handle is now included in the export data.
Metaobject definitions that reference other metaobjects can now be exported from one store and imported into another.
🚀 What’s New # Cross-store metaobject definitions – field validations that reference other metaobject definitions now use portable type handles instead of store-specific GIDs. Flexible import format – imports accept both comma-separated type handles (author, brand) and legacy GID format for backwards compatibility. 🔧 Improvements # Cleaner exports – multiple definition references now export as author, brand, store_location instead of JSON arrays. 🐛 Fixes # Reference validation – importing a definition that references a non-existent metaobject definition now shows a clear error message (MOBD006) instead of failing silently.
We’ve improved translations exports with additional columns and filters that make working with multilingual content easier.
🚀 What’s New # Full GID columns – new ID and Parent ID columns show complete Shopify Global IDs for easier programmatic use. Product-level filters – filter translations by product status, tag, or creation date when exporting product-related content. Locale exclusion – use NOT_EQUALS to exclude specific locales from your export (e.g., export all locales except English). 🔧 Improvements # Richer context columns – Handle, Parent Type, Parent ID, and Parent Handle columns help identify nested resources like metafields. Metafield namespace.key display – metafield handles show as namespace.key format for quick identification. Primary locale excluded by default – exports automatically skip your store’s primary language since it doesn’t need translation. ⚠️ Heads-up # Export only – translation imports are planned for a future update. For now, you can import exported files directly into Shopify’s admin. (Update: As of February 2026, translation imports are now supported.) Extra columns for context – we’ve added columns that Shopify’s admin import doesn’t require but doesn’t reject either, making your files easier to work with.
Managing multiple store locations just got easier. You can now import and export your Shopify locations using spreadsheets, making it simple to set up new warehouses, update addresses, or audit your fulfillment network.
🚀 What’s New # Locations export – download all your store locations with addresses, settings, and metafields. Locations import – create, update, or delete locations in bulk using CSV or Excel files. Activation control – activate or deactivate locations during import using the Active column. Address management – update full addresses including street, city, province, country, and phone. Metafield support – import and export custom metafields on locations. 🔧 Improvements # Location lookup – imports can match locations by ID or name for flexible updates. Sample file – a new Locations sample file is available to help you get started. Reference docs – full field reference explains each column and supported values.
You now have more control over how your exported data is formatted, with new options for datetime and phone number fields.
🚀 What’s New # Date/time formatting – Choose from 10 different date formats including ISO 8601, US, and UK styles to match your workflow or target system. Phone number normalization – Format phone numbers as strict international, readable international, or national format, or keep them as-is from Shopify. Phone cell formatting – Control whether phone cells include an apostrophe prefix to prevent Excel auto-formatting issues. CLI support – Use --datetime-format, --phone-format, and --phone-cell-format flags in the CLI tool. 🔧 Improvements # Advanced Options – New collapsible section on the export create page keeps the interface clean while providing access to formatting controls. Country-aware phone parsing – Phone number formatting uses the related address country code for accurate national format conversion.
Sometimes browser settings or ad blockers can prevent downloads from opening in a new window when you click on a download link. We’ve added a fallback to make sure you can always get your files.
🔧 Improvements # Manual download link – a banner now appears on the job detail page after clicking download, providing a direct link if the automatic download doesn’t start.
