EXPORTS
How to export Shopify products to Excel or CSV
A product export is the starting point for almost every bulk job: price changes, audits, supplier updates and backups. BulkCSV exports products with their variants in a layout you can edit and import straight back.
Step by step
Open Export and choose Products
In BulkCSV, open the Export screen and select Products. Other data types, such as pages, redirects, collections, orders and customers, export from the same screen.
Pick your columns and format
Tick the columns you need. Choose Excel (XLSX) or CSV for spreadsheet work. TSV, JSON, JSON Lines and XML are also available.
Filter if you only need part of the catalog
Use the search filter to narrow the export, or the updated since date to export only products changed after a given day.
Download the file
Large catalogs download in batches of 2,000 rows, one file per batch, so no single download times out.
Example file
A product row is followed by its variant rows, ready to edit and re-import.
| Title | Handle | Status | Command | Variant Command | Variant SKU | Variant Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Canvas Tote | classic-canvas-tote | ACTIVE | UPDATE | |||
| classic-canvas-tote | UPDATE | TOTE-NAT | 34.00 | |||
| classic-canvas-tote | UPDATE | TOTE-BLK | 34.00 |

Good to know
- Keep the Command and Variant Command columns if you plan to re-import. They are what tell BulkCSV to update the existing products instead of creating new ones.
- Each product row is followed by one row per variant, with the same Handle.
- Exports count toward your plan's rows per job, the same as imports.
- For a safety copy stored in your own cloud drive, use the backup feature instead.
Try it on your own store
BulkCSV is free for your first 250 rows, with every feature included. No card needed.
