Catalogue export

From a storefront URL to a usable CSV.

Start with a supported Shopify storefront, set a page budget, inspect the returned products and variants, then download a file for analysis. A bounded result is not a claim to the merchant’s full inventory.

Set the scope before the run

A store URL starts at its accessible catalogue. Choose the maximum page visits and credits, then decide whether the run may follow pagination, product details or collections. The default scope is deliberately small. A currency check or discovery visit also counts toward the budget.

Page and credit maximumHard upper bound on source visitsReview the estimate before authorizing the run.
PaginationAdditional listing pagesUse only if the first page shows a meaningful continuation.
Product detailsAdditional product pagesSpend these visits when the listing omits fields you need.
CollectionsCollection directory and selected collection pagesKeep distinct collections and duplicate products in view.

Check the file before importing it

  1. Inspect product count, variant count, warnings and completeness in the saved run.
  2. Check a sample product against its source URL and retrieval time.
  3. Keep product and variant identifiers as separate columns; do not use titles as stable keys.
  4. Download CSV within seven days, then store the file and its run context in your own system.

Download a synthetic catalog CSV to inspect the column layout. Every row is fictional; the file has no source URL, retrieval time or live offer values.
