Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. It offers users a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features.

One of the great features of Shopify is its ability to export data. This data can be exported in a variety of formats, including CSV, XML, and JSON.

Exporting data from Shopify is a great way to backup your data, or to move it to another platform. To export your data from Shopify, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Shopify account.
  2. From your Dashboard, click Settings > General.
  3. Scroll down to the Store address section and click Edit.
  4. In the Country field, select the country where you want your shop to be located.
  5. Click Save.

Now that you’ve set up your shop’s location, you’re ready to start exporting your data.

There are two ways to export data from Shopify: through the admin interface or using the Shopify API.

PRO TIP: If you are considering exporting data from your Shopify account, please be aware that there are some potential risks involved. First and foremost, please be sure to create a backup of your Shopify data before proceeding. Additionally, please be aware that exporting data from Shopify may result in some data loss; specifically, any data that is not compatible with the format you are exporting to may be lost. Finally, please keep in mind that exporting data from Shopify can be a time-consuming process; depending on the size and complexity of your data, it may take several hours or even days to complete.

Exporting data through the admin interface.
To export your data through the admin interface:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Export.
  2. In the Export section, select what type of data you want to export.
  3. Click Export.
  4. Your browser will start downloading a file containing your exported data.

Exporting data using the Shopify API

If you want more control over your export or if you want to automate your exports, you can use the Shopify API. To use the API, you’ll need to create a private app. For more information on how to do this, see Private apps. Once you’ve created a private app, you can use the following methods to export data from Shopify.
