Order exports now include discount amounts in both shop and presentment currencies, making it easier to analyze discounts across different market currencies.
🔧 Improvements # Discount allocation amounts – order exports now include presentment money amounts alongside shop money for line item discount allocations.
We’ve added a new field to order exports that captures the current shipping price, making it easier to track shipping costs after order edits.
🚀 What’s New # Current shipping price – exports now include the current shipping price alongside the original total shipping price, helping you track shipping cost changes after order edits.
Stores using Shopify Markets can now see the exact prices customers paid in their local currency when exporting orders.
🚀 What’s New # Line: Presentment Price – shows the price charged to the customer in their local currency. Line: Presentment Currency – displays the currency code for each line item (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.).
You can now filter datetime fields (like order process at) by minutes, giving you more precise control over your exports.
🚀 What’s New # Minute-based filters – filter datetime fields like “created at” using “in the last X minutes” alongside the existing “in the last X days” option.
Order exports now support additional metafield types, giving you richer context about customers, products, and variants without running separate exports.
🚀 What’s New # Customer metafields – export metafields from the customer associated with each order. Product metafields – export metafields from products in order line items. Variant metafields – export metafields from variants in order line items. 🔧 Improvements # Metafield column headers now show the owner type (Customer, Product, or Variant) for clarity when multiple metafield types are included. Empty metafield columns are included in exports to maintain consistent structure across files.
Data transformations are now available to everyone with a new dedicated section in the app. Upload your Shopify admin exports and convert them to Altera format with just a few clicks.
🚀 What’s New # Transform Data section – dedicated area in the app where anyone can upload spreadsheets and apply transformations without running an export. Two public transformations – convert Shopify admin product exports and order exports to Altera’s import format. Self-service uploads – drag and drop your spreadsheets and get transformed files back in seconds. 🔧 Improvements # No invite needed – previously invite-only data transformations are now available to all users. Standalone feature – run transformations on any compatible spreadsheet, not just your own exports. ⚠️ Heads-up # Custom data transformations tailored to your specific needs are available on the Pro plan – contact support to configure one.
When uploading files to Altera, using the wrong format can be confusing. We now automatically detect if you’re trying to upload order or product exports from Shopify’s admin and provide clear guidance on how to fix it.
🔧 Improvements # Order export detection – Altera now recognizes when you upload an order export from Shopify’s admin and explains why it won’t work, including steps to properly copy orders between stores. Product export guidance – Updated error messages for Shopify admin product exports to better explain missing data and provide recommended workflows. Store-to-store workflow – Both error messages now recommend exporting from the source store with Altera and importing to the destination store to ensure complete data transfer.
Importing zip codes that start with zeros (like 01234) can be tricky because Excel automatically strips leading zeros. We’ve made this easier to handle by allowing you to prefix the zip code with a single quote ('01234).
🔧 Improvements # Zip code formatting – prefix any zip code with a single quote ('01234) in your spreadsheet to preserve leading zeros. The quote is automatically removed during import and works for all address types across orders, draft orders, customers, and company locations.
Orders exports now include discount line items, giving you complete visibility into discount applications and their impact on order totals.
🚀 What’s New # Discount line items – orders exports now include a dedicated line item type for discounts applied to orders. Discount codes – see which discount codes were used on each order. Discount allocations – view how discounts were distributed across line items with negative amounts showing the discount value.
We’ve shipped updates that make order imports safer and order updates more predictable for busy teams.
🚀 What’s New # Address validation – detects incomplete billing/shipping addresses before sending data to Shopify Incomplete address error (ORD015) – clearer guidance when required address fields are only partially provided (see codes) Payment gateway safety – imported gateways are prefixed with manual to avoid triggering real charges (see reference)
