Export Shopify Products with Metafields

To export your Shopify products along with their metafields is very straightforward if you choose to do it with Mixtable Spreadsheet Editor. You’ll need to perform three quick steps.

  • First, have a worksheet that shows your Shopify products.
  • Second, map one or more columns to show the metafield data you want to export.
  • Third, when above are done, just export the workbook and you’ll be able to download all your products with their metafield data as an Excel file or in .CSV format.

Below are more details on each step.

Step 1 - Show your Shopify Products in a spreadsheet

Add а new worksheet:

In an existing Mixtable workbook, click the (+) button to add a new worksheet.

Add a new worksheet for Shopify data

You’ll now be presented with a list of what Shopify data you’d like to sync to the new worksheet - products, orders, customers, etc. Select the Products (no variants) option. The new worksheet will be added, and you’ll see your Shopify Products data starting to populate in it.

Step 2 - Sync metafields to products in the Mixtable spreadsheet

Now that we have our Products (no variants) worksheet, we need to populate our metafields data in it. All that’s involved is to configure columns to display the metafields you want to export. Here’s how:

To load new Shopify data, start by selecting an empty column — any column with a non-green header (green headers mean the column is already linked to Shopify data). Then, click the ⚡️ button in the column header to open the selection window to choose the data you want to pull in.

Add Shopify data to a spreadsheet

  1. In the window that opens, select the Metafield radio button option

Choose which Metafield data to add to spreadsheet

  1. You’ll see that you are now being prompted for information on the metafield that we’ll map into this column. Each metafield in Shopify has a Namespace and a Name. Enter the values for any existing metafields here. If you are creating new metafields then enter the Namespace and Name values you’d like to use. Then, click the Save button.

Choose Metafield's namespace and name to bulk edit them in spreadsheet

  1. You’ll now see Mixtable set up this new column with a heading (which you are free to change), and populate all the cells with any pre-existing data for the metafield you just set up.

Step 3 - Export your metafields to an Excel file or .CSV

Now that we have our Products metafields data in our worksheet, let’s export everything to an Excel file. Open the Workbook menu, using the button on the very top-right of the screen. Select the Export to .xlsx option. You’ll be immediately prompted with the location where to save the Excel file on your computer. And that’s it!
