2023

2022

2022, December

2022-12-30

• Import Products: Allow to set Variant Cost to 0.

2022-12-29

• Matrixify Template Demo: now instead of one big Demo Excel file, we have made an improved Demo file for each data entity.

2022-12-27

• Import Metafields: new Metafield Type [metaobject_reference].

2022-12-24

• Export & Import: Limit maximum Threads count to 250. Going higher does not increase speed because of context switching and Shopify connections limit.

2022-12-23

• Export Orders: New export-only columns for Orders export [Price: Total Duties] and [Price: Current Total Duties].

2022-12-21

• Import Companies: reading the [Location: Shipping Recipient] and [Location: Billing Recipient] columns, saving with the temporary workaround using Shopify unstable API.

2022-12-20

• Fix: Import Again: was freezing UI if pressing the “Import Again” button on the job that was from URL that does not exist anymore.

2022-12-17

• Export & Import Orders: added new columns [Source Identifier] and [Source URL]. E.g. when Order comes from external sales channel like Instagram, then you will be able to see its ID and source URL there.

2022-12-15

• UI: Export & Import Options: [Schedule on] to allow selecting time precision by minutes (not just by 5 minute intervals).
• Import & Export Options: Results File name date&time source can also be taken from [Saved At] time.
• Export & Import: Shopify has increased API call limit for all Shopify Plus stores to 400 (500%). Previously it was 300%. So you should experience much faster exports and imports, and increased parallel threads for Enterprise plan.
• Fix: Import Orders: read [Refund Shipping] column [Line: Total] or [Line: Price] (whichever has the value first) for partial shipping refund amount.

2022-12-14

• Fix: Import Batch: should perform file actions (Delete/Move) also for first job in the repeated job chain.

2022-12-13

• Export: Automatically switching next repeated jobs from Excel to CSV if data did not fit into Excel for the current job (exceeds 500k rows). If you know in advance that export will have more than 500k rows, then please choose the CSV format. Switching from Excel to CSV at the end makes the export run longer.
• Import Draft Orders: link to the Company by importing columns [Company: ID], [Company: Name], [Company: Location ID], [Company: Location Name], and [Customer: ID], [Customer: Email], [Customer: Phone].

2022-12-09

• Fix: Import Magento v1 Products: was not importing [Image Alt Text] from Magento column [_media_lable], because we thought there is a typo, but actually that Magento column is called lable instead of label.

2022-12-08

• Fix: Import from FTP/SFTP: when doing “Import Again” from the finished job with file moving actions, should not remember previous job file current location (was causing the copied import to fail).

2022-12-07

• Import Orders & Draft Orders: if importing Customer: ID as empty column, but have the Customer: Email or Customer: Phone column filled, then attach customer based on filled values.
  To remove the Customer from the Order/Draft Order, then the file needs to have Customer: ID column with empty value, and not have the Customer: Email or Customer: Phone with any values there.
• Fix: Import Products: when updating to empty [Variant Inventory Policy] – it was failing.
• Import Orders: split the [Fulfillment: Tracking URL] into several URLs by ; smarter – split only if the part after ; looks like URL, because some tracking URLs have ; as part of URL.

2022-12-06

• Import Products from WooCommerce API: generate Redirects for Draft products with no path as assumed /product/<slug> (instead of /).
• Import Products: Remove trailing / from the image URLs (otherwise Shopify cannot determine the image file name, and names the image as unnamed).

2022-12-05

• Import: Orders from Magento DB: Take prices and other line item details from the configurable item row if no simple product row is provided.
• Fix: Export: some exports with filters got slower since 2022-11-11 – fixed by caching the filter results.

2022-12-03

• Fix: Import Companies: was failing when removing the Company Contact for Company that did not have any Contact.

2022-12-02

• Fix: Export Orders: calculate percentage discount allocations more correctly through line item discount allocations.

2022-12-01

• Import from Dropbox link: now can import files from Shared Dropbox links (that have /sh/ in the URL).
• Fix: Migrate Orders from WooCommerce: transaction status sometimes is Completed with capital-C – so we need to check that as case-insensitive.
• Fix: Import Repeated Batch jobs from FTP/SFTP: if having the File Actions (like to move or delete imported files), and if any file fails already while estimating, then still execute that required action on that file.

2022, November

2022-11-29

• Import Orders:
  • Now you can import Orders as Shopify Transporter file template.
  • For Matrixify app to recognize the Orders file as Transporter file, you need to include the following keywords in the filename: transporter and orders. For example: transporter_orders_1.csv.
  • If you need to delete Orders the same way as you do in Transporter, then you can add the command=delete to the file name, for example: transporter_orders_command=delete.csv – then we will force the Command as DELETE , regardless of what command is specified in the file.
  • If you will upload the Transporter file without giving it transporter keyword in the filename, then we will try to import it as Matrixify template, so you will see that Transporter-specific columns will show as ignored.
  • With Matrixify you can import Transporter files in all Shopify stores (don’t have to be a Plus store).
• Import Orders: when linking Line Item, can link the variant to Order by just Line: Variant Barcode value (live since 2022-11-07).
• Import Orders: when creating new Order, then can set the values from columns Weight Total and Browser: Referrer.
• Export & Import Orders: new columns Shipping: Name and Billing: Name which is the new way how Shopify joins First and Last name for the Shipping/Billing addresses.
  When imported – at first the Shipping/Billing: First/Last Name columns will be considered. But if those don’t exist, then the Shipping/Billing: Name will be imported instead. Shopify splits the Name automatically to First/Last Name.
• Import Orders: can also import Discount line with percentage as the Discount type. The value of percentage is read from Line: Price column.
• Import Orders: changes in logic for columns Line: Requires Shipping and Line: Taxable – earlier if those did not have any value, we passed FALSE to Shopify. Now, if those are empty, we will not send those to Shopify, which will delegate this decision to Shopify – whether set to true or false automatically, depending on the linked product.

2022-11-25

• Fix: UI: was showing “Error loading servers” when the app was just installed. Also, was showing a “loading” card if there are no historical jobs yet.

2022-11-22

• Fix: Import: deleting Tags with Tags Command = DELETE was case-sensitive; now it is case-insensitive, because Shopify does not allow the same tags with different UPPER/lower case anyway.

2022-11-17

• Import Orders & Draft Orders: should not show in the Order Timeline that details were edited when not importing [Additional Details] column.

2022-11-16

• Fix: Import Companies: was failing when updating Locations by Company ID.

2022-11-15

• Import Customers:
  • Now you can import Customers file template with additional columns as in the Shopify Transporter and Shopify Admin CSV formats:
    Company
Address1
Address2
City
Zip
Province
Province Code
Country
Country Code
Metafield Namespace
Metafield Key
Metafield Value
Metafield Value Type
    It all will behave by default as in Matrixify, and can be combined with all the Matrixify columns.
  • To force creating only new Customers, and to fail if such customer exists (like in Transporter), then give the CSV file name such that it contains words customer and transporter. Then we will force the Command=NEW.
  • If you need to delete customers the same way as you do in Transporter, then you can add the command=delete to the file name, for example: transporter_customers_command=delete.csv – then we will force the Command as DELETE , regardless of what command is specified in the file.
  • Basically, you can upload your existing Transporter Customers CSV files into Matrixify, and they will import everything the same way as in Transporter, and will blend with existing Matrixify functionality. The same with the CSV file that you can export from Shopify Admin – Customers section.
    Still, if you need to copy data from one store to another, we strongly suggest you to do the export with Matrixify format, because that contains much more data fields than Shopify Admin CSV export, so the data will be more precise.

2022-11-14

• Import Products: ignore the variant row if it has value only in [Variant Command] column but other cells are empty for that variant row.

2022-11-12

• Import: increased maximum CSV file size inside the zipped file to 10 GB.

2022-11-11

• UI: improved app loading speed.

2022-11-10

• Import: Products
  • Now you can import the Products file template with additional columns as in the Shopify Transporter app:
    Metafields Global Title Tag
Metafields Global Description Tag
Metafield Namespace
Metafield Key
Metafield Value
Metafield Value Type
Variant Inventory Cost
Image Attachment
    It all will behave by default as in Matrixify.
  • To force creating only new Products, and to fail if such product exists (like in Transporter), then give the CSV file name such that it contains words products and transporter. Then we will force the Command as NEW.
  • If you need to delete products the same as you do in Transporter, then you can add the command=delete to the file name, for example: transporter_products_command=delete.csv – then we will assume the Command as DELETE if it’s not specified n your CSV file column.
  • Basically, you can upload your existing Transporter Products CSV files into Matrixify, and they will import everything the same way as in Transporter, and will blend with existing Matrixify functionality.

2022-11-06

• Import: In the Results file automatically generate primary identification [ID (Ref)] and secondary identification [Handle (Ref)] (or [Name (Ref)], etc for all entities…) columns from the respective Shopify item data.

2022-11-03

2022, October

2022-10-28

2022-10-25

• Import Customers: optimize import speed when updating Marketing Consent for existing items.

2022-10-20

• Import Products: now to delete an Option from variants, you need to list all the variants, and set that [OptionX Name] and [OptionX Value] to empty for all the variant rows. That is – to avoid removing an option by accident.

2022-10-08

• Fix: Import Orders: should not add another [manual] prefix to the [Transaction: Gateway] value if it already is manual. E.g.: gateway manual (Stripe) was imported as manual (manual (Stripe)).

2022-10-06

• Fix: Import Orders: match duplicate Line Items by [Line: Properties] for Refunds and Fulfillments.
• Fix: Product Import: should send correct default/empty values for [Status], [Type], [Variant Fulfillment Service] – when creating and updating, so that Shopify API accepts them better.
• Fix: Import Orders: match refundable transaction when file has no gateway specified, but has refund ID; always assume empty gateway as [manual (Assumed)] (to be different from manual gateway).

2022-10-03

• Import / Export Metafields: new Metafield type [order_reference].
• UI: Import: show columns in the uploaded file, and warn if there are unknown columns that will be ignored.

2022-08-16

• Export: added additional date format for UK: d/m/Y. If you choose this date format, then be sure not to import this file in Matrixify, because auto-detecting date format will confuse it with US format which is m/d/Y .

2022-06-27

2022-06-22

• Import Products from Magento: put country_of_manufacture value to [Variant Country of Origin]; save simple product price in Metafield and respective Variant Metafield (because we take the configurable product price by default and adding adjustments to it – this shows to be the most correct in most cases, but just in case, you can use the values from the Metafields)
• Import Products: Allow importing country name in [Variant Country of Origin] column (previously it required 2-letter country ISO code).

2022-06-15

2022, May

2022-05-31

• Import from Turn14: take the Variant SKU from part_number field (instead of mfr_part_number) – to have unique SKUs; Add MFR SKU to Tags and to Metafield: turn14.mfr_part_number.

2022-05-27

• Fix: Import Products: if Shopify changed the Handle to something else, then we generated Redirect to the Original Handle.

• UI: Export: show filters when Sheet collapsed; select column group when clicking on whole column group row; Customize Columns collapsed by default.
• Import Orders: if having error when putting all OrderFulfillments in one Fulfillment, then split Fulfillment by separate OrderFulfillments. So, if you fulfill the whole Order, but actually get 2 Fulfillments created, it means that Shopify was not able to join all of the Line Items in one Fulfillment – they needed to be fulfilled separately (e.g. if you have one of the Line Items as a subscription item).
• Fix: UI: Export: date filters should work with Shopify store time zone, instead of computer time zone.

2022-05-23

• Export: new user interface to improve the Export experience.

2022-05-21

• Fix: Import Blog Posts: was failing when there were many Comments.

  Make sure to check if your automated imports do not have an additional dot in the Metafields column header, if it does then adjust the import and escape the additional dot with backslash.
