FAQs

Can I export all my Shopify reports at once, or do I need to do them individually?

Currently, Shopify’s built-in functionality only allows you to export reports one at a time. However, some third-party apps may offer bulk export options.

I need to analyze sales data for the past year. Can I export a report with a custom date range?

Yes, most Shopify reports allow you to customize the date range before exporting, ensuring you can access the specific data you need for your analysis.

I exported a report, but some of the columns I see in the Shopify interface are missing in the CSV file. Why is that?

Some reports have hidden columns that aren’t displayed by default but can be included in the export. When exporting, choose the “Full report” option instead of “Current page” to include all available columns.

Can I schedule automatic exports of my Shopify reports at regular intervals?

While Shopify itself doesn’t offer built-in scheduled exports, you can achieve this using third-party apps or integrations that provide automation features.

I’m having trouble opening the exported CSV file. What software should I use?

You can open CSV files using spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, or Apple Numbers. If you don’t have these, you can also use a basic text editor, but the data might not be as well-formatted.
