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.
Metaobject exports now convert reference field GIDs to handles or filenames, making it simple to import metaobjects with references across different Shopify stores.
🔧 Improvements # Metaobject reference fields – now export as handles instead of GIDs, matching the behavior of regular reference metafields on products and other objects. Cross-store migrations – metaobjects with reference fields can now be imported to different stores without manual GID updates. This brings metaobject exports in line with how other reference metafields work. Metaobject imports already support using handles or filenames instead of GIDs, so you can now complete a full export-import cycle across stores without editing your files.
Previously, you could only select entire field groups when configuring exports. Now you can click on any selected field group to pick exactly which fields you want to include.
🚀 What’s New # Individual field selection - click on a selected field group to open a modal where you can choose specific fields from that group. Select all button - quickly select or deselect all fields within a group with one click. 🔧 Improvements # Export configurations now save individual field lists instead of field groups for more precise control. Field selection gives you smaller export files by including only the columns you need.
You can now export translations for products, collections, pages, and other Shopify resources. The exported files work with Shopify’s native translation import, plus we’ve added helpful columns to make it easier to identify what you’re translating.
🚀 What’s New # Translations export – export translations for products, collections and other Shopify resources. Shopify-compatible format – exported files can be imported directly into Shopify’s admin at Settings > Languages. Extra context columns – exports include Handle, Parent Type, Parent ID, and Parent Handle columns to help identify nested resources like metafields. Locale filtering – filter exports by specific languages or exclude languages using comma-separated values. Resource type filtering – export only the resource types you need (products, collections, pages, etc.). ⚠️ Heads-up # Export only – this feature currently supports export only. Translation imports are planned for a future update. (Update: As of February 2026, translation imports are now supported.) Work in progress – we’re actively developing this feature and welcome your feedback at support@getaltera.com.
Products can now include country-specific harmonized system (HS) codes, which are required for international shipping and customs in many countries. We’ve added support to import and export these codes alongside your product data.
🚀 What’s New # Country-specific HS codes – import and export harmonized system codes that vary by country for the same product variant. Invalid HS code validation – imports now validate HS codes and show clear error messages when codes are invalid.
Filtering orders by product name makes it easier to isolate orders containing specific items for fulfillment, inventory analysis, and sales reporting. If a single line item title matches the filter, the order and all its line items will be included in the export.
🚀 What’s New # Line item title – filter orders by the title of any product in the order.
Relative date filters have been updated to use full period boundaries, providing more predictable and consistent filtering results.
🚀 What’s New # Last X hours filter – new filter option for hourly-based filtering (e.g., “last 3 hours”) Full period boundaries – all relative date filters now export data from complete time periods, not rolling windows 🔧 How It Works # The “relative date” filter now exports data from the last full time period, similar to how Matrixify handles it:
