Extracting Shopify Product Data directly to Google Sheets

Google Sheets is a popular choice for collaborating on product data, calculating sourcing margins, and assigning tags. Copying and pasting product rows manually from a website into a spreadsheet is slow and error-prone. Setting up an automated workflow to extract Shopify data to Google Sheets helps keep your product databases accurate.

How to Import Catalogs Correctly

To import catalog data without formatting issues, follow these steps:

1. Export the competitor's catalog or collections using a local extraction tool.
2. Open Google Sheets and create a new spreadsheet.
3. Go to File > Import, upload your file, and select "Replace spreadsheet".
4. Set the separator type to "Detect automatically" and ensure "Convert text to numbers, dates, and formulas" is unchecked to protect SKU formatting.

Once imported, you can use functions to analyze price points and filter products by popularity.
