Excelify: Bulk Import Export Update

This app is for you if you manage Shopify store data, you like precision, and you need to control the outcomes of
your work. Beneficial is if you know how to use Excel (or similar spreadsheets apps), or at least are willing to
learn those things.

Have you maxed out Shopify CSV file import and export capabilities?

If you have used Shopify CSV export and import feature, then this is your next level tool. If you feel like CSV
files and manual data entry limit you in any way - it is very likely that you will find your solution here.

Excelify.io gives you great control over your store data

1. Feed data to your store from any of your data sources.


2. Update your existing store data by individual fields, without having to re-import
   everything.
   


3. Copy your store data to your other stores with just one Excel file.


4. Schedule and auto-repeat your imports or exports.

You import the same structure Excel file as you export.

Download this Excel file and use it as an example and as a template.

The app is updating your Store data on Shopify database, so you own your data at all times. Even after
you uninstall the app.

Just this one feature to import Collections in bulk will save you days of manual work

We know you spend too much time on creating and updating your Collections of products. You might be even paying
somebody to do that for you, and then re-check it yourself anyway, because of potential errors.

If you use Excelify.io for just this one thing - you have bought your precious time and sanity back. You will be
able to import and export collections yourself, if you decide to do so; and have a clear overview - what's inside
each of those collections by doing an export.

But this app does so much more than that

Whatever fields you see in your Shopify Admin, you are able to export and import them with Excelify.io.
You can bulk-update any of those fields individually or all together.

Orders, baby!

Yes, you can export and import Orders now, and you can copy them from one store to another with the same
export/import file.

Also, you can update Orders by two methods - some of the fields using the true UPDATE of the existing order, and any other fields, using the REPLACE Command.

Metafields still drive you crazy?

Having Metafields as just additional columns along with items they are attached to, makes your data whole, and you
can edit, add or delete them just as any other field values.

Those include also Variant Metafields.

SEO metadata is also there.

File formats that can be handled

• 
  Excelify:
  Excel - export and import
  


• 
  Excelify:
  CSV - export and import
  


• 
  Excelify:
  Google Sheets - import only
  


• 
  Shopify:

  Shopping Data Feed - export only
  


• 
  Amazon
  Inventory Flat File - export only

Load enormously large volumes of data

The upload file size limit is 2 GB. Excel files are compressed - you will never hit this limit. If you import
CSV files - you can zip that CSV file and upload the zip file. Such file can hold several million rows.

Import from locations

• Upload the files directly into the App


• Web link to the file


• FTP


• Dropbox


• Google Drive


• Google Sheets

Schedule and repeat your imports and exports

• Schedule exports to use as store backups or data snapshots, done at regular intervals.


• Schedule the import or export to run later, repeat them automatically.


• Setup the import to be done just in time for your campaign.


• Setup the repeated automated import from FTP server, Dropbox, Google Drive, or Google Sheets link.


• For example: Schedule to update sale price on every Monday and put it back on Wednesday, or any other
  combinations.
  

Your store language is not plain English?

If you tried to import products or customers with CSV files in other language with special language encoding, you
know the pain. With Excel files your data will be imported correctly.

Some of additional results you can get with this same app:

• 
  Update
  Product prices


• 
  
  Import several images from the same row (separated by semicolon ;)


• Update Image Alt Texts


• Update Collection images


• Bulk upload images to our image server and have them available as URLs for import


• 
  Update

• 
  Send
  out Customer activations in bulk


• Create or migrate Pages in bulk


• 
  Use
  Orders Export as sales reports


• 
  Bulk
  delete products, or any other items


• Special "Excelify: CSV" format for stores that don't fit into Excel 1 million rows.


• And many more - you name it, as we are running out of space here!


• Migrate all your Blogs from ay other place to Shopify: each Blog can have many Blog Posts, and
  each Blog Post can have many Comments by visitors.
  


• Approve, reject or clean up Blog Post Comments in bulk.


• When migrating from your old store or when renaming Handles in your current store, send people from your old links to new links by importing Redirects.

Copy your whole store to another

All your exported store contents fit into that one exported Excel file. You can easily copy your store by just
importing that same exported Excel file to your other store.

Whichever plan you choose, you have one additional store included in the same price. Send your both store URLs to
our Support, and we will put them on the same plan.

See the tutorial: How
To Clone Your Shopify Store?

  or failed.
  


• Cancel the process any time if you see you messed up something.


• See detailed result for each item by downloading the file after the import has finished.
