Pages

See what each field/column from our “Pages” template means including possible allowed values and examples.

Fields marked with “Export only” tag cannot be imported/set in Shopify but can be exported with Matrixify export.

Excel Sheet Name

Pages

To tell the app that you are importing Pages you need:

  • If using CSV file then the file name needs to contain the word “page”, for example, “my-shopify-pages.csv”
  • If using XLSX file then the sheet/tab name in the file needs to be “page”. The file name for the XLSX file does not matter.

Columns Available For Export And Import

Basic Columns

Column Description / Example Value
ID ID is automatically generated number by Shopify to identify the item.
It is filled in by an Export.
Can be used for Import to identify and update existing Pages.
When creating new Page, leave this value empty.

Allowed Values

Number

Example
44920047631
Handle This is what your store visitors will see in the Pages URL address like this: https://mystore.com/pages/contact-us

URL address has a great impact on SEO, so be sure to give it a meaningful name.
Regardless, what you write here, the app will convert it to lowercase, and remove all non-URL friendly symbols.
You can leave it empty when creating new Pages – in that case, the app will generate it for you from Title.

If the handle will have non-Latin characters like Chinese, Arabic or Russian, or any other language, it will get “transliterated” to the similar-sounding Latin letters by default. You can switch this option off in Options upon importing by unchecking “Transliterate Handles to English alphabet”.

Whatever you will put in the Handle column, the app will convert it to the required Handle format, which is acceptable by Shopify.

When updating Handle the app by default will also create a Redirect from old Handle to the new one. You can turn this off in the Import options with importing a file.

In Shopify, all Handles have a limitation of 255 characters, so any Handle longer than that will be truncated to 255 characters.

Allowed Values

Any characters allowed in a URL

Example
contact-us
Command When importing Page row – tell the app, what to do with it:

  • NEW: will try to create a new Page with the provided details. If such Page will already exist (with the same ID or same Handle), then the result will be Failed.
  • MERGE: will try to find existing Page, and update it with data from the row. If such Page will not be found, then it will create new.
  • UPDATE: the app will search for an existing Page and update it. If an item cannot be found then that item will fail to import.
  • REPLACE: at first, if such Page with provided ID or Handle exists, then the app will delete it. After that, it will create a new one. If an existing Page will not be found, then still the app will create a new one. The difference from UPDATE is that it will not keep any of columns, which were not included in the import file since the Page will be deleted and re-created.
  • DELETE: the app will delete the existing Page, which is found by ID or Handle. If such Page will not be found, then the result will be Failed. This DELETE command is very handy for deleting Pages in bulk.
  • IGNORE: the app will ignore this Page and will skip it.

If no Command is specified, then the app will assume the UPDATE command.

Allowed Values
NEW
MERGE
UPDATE
REPLACE
DELETE
IGNORE
Example
MERGE
Title Title of the page.

Allowed Values

Text

Example
Contact Us
Author The name of the author. Can assign any name.

Allowed Values

Text

Example
Your Name
Body HTML The page contents. It can be as plain text, and as HTML code.

The app is also doing some helping with the descriptions automatically to make it easier to use and fix popular issues:

  • Converting text to UTF-8 encoding.
  • Automatically removing invalid characters like “_x000D_” , “” , and such (ask Matrixify Support if there are any other characters invalid that need to be removed).
  • Converting plain text to HTML if this is not an HTML already – so that you have proper newlines and basic formatting.
  • Optionally removing images from HTML (if checkbox enabled in Import Options).
Allowed Values

Text, HTML

Example
<h2>Subtitle</h>
