How to Import Shopify Products Data into Excel

Managing your Shopify product catalog in Excel gives you powerful analysis capabilities that the native Shopify interface can’t match. But manual exports create stale data.

Let’s fix that.

Step-by-step guide to importing Shopify Products into Excel

Step 1: Install Coefficient and connect to Shopify

First, you’ll need to install the Coefficient add-in for Excel:

1. Open Excel
2. Go to the Insert tab
3. Click Get Add-ins
4. Search for “Coefficient”
5. Click Add to install

Once installed, open the Coefficient sidebar and click “Import from…”

Step 2: Select Shopify and Products object

Now, let’s connect to Shopify and select the Products object:

1. In the Import menu, find and select “Shopify” under the Ecommerce category
2. Authenticate with your Shopify credentials when prompted
3. Choose “Import from Objects”
4. Select “Products” from the list of available objects

You’ll now see all available fields from the Products object. Select the ones you need for your analysis, such as:

• Product ID
• Title
• Description
• Vendor
• Product type
• Created at
• Updated at
• Status

Step 3: Configure and import your data

Before importing, you can:

• Apply filters to narrow down which products to import
• Sort the data by specific fields
• Set a row limit if you only need a subset of products

Click “Import” to bring your Shopify Products data into Excel. The data will populate in your current worksheet.

Step 4: Set up auto-refresh (optional but recommended)

Keep your product data fresh by setting up auto-refresh:

1. Click on the imported data range
2. In the Coefficient sidebar, click “Schedule Refresh”
3. Choose your preferred frequency (hourly, daily, weekly)
4. Set specific times for the refresh to occur

Now your Excel spreadsheet will always contain up-to-date Shopify product information without manual updates.
