Roundup
Best Shopify export apps for spreadsheets (2026)
By Marquis Rollo · Last updated September 24, 2026
Getting Shopify data into a spreadsheet is one job on paper and several jobs in practice. Some merchants want a Google Sheet that updates automatically; others need a full order-history export, custom reports, or to write bulk edits back into the store. No single app is best at all of those, so the right pick depends on which one you have.
This roundup compares six of the best Shopify export apps by what they do, not by a score. We build ShopSheets, one of them, so read it as a vendor's roundup and check the facts. Every app's details come from its public listing, which we link, and the table is date-stamped so you can tell how current it is.
How we compared: we use ShopSheets daily on live Shopify stores, and checked each competitor's current features and pricing against its public Shopify App Store or product listing on 2026-09-16. Where a detail can drift, such as pricing tiers, we kept it qualitative and linked the source so you can verify.
Quick picks
For a live, one-way Google Sheet of your orders and catalog, ShopSheets is the simplest fit. For bulk import/export and store migration, Matrixify. For custom analytics reports, Better Reports. For scheduled exports to files or Sheets, EZ Exporter. For pulling Shopify alongside other data sources, Coupler.io. For event-driven automation across apps, Zapier.
The clearest split is live sync versus export jobs, and read-only versus write-back. Sort by those two first and your options narrow quickly.

ShopSheets
Best for: A live, one-way Google Sheet of orders and your catalog.
Not for: Imports, store migration, or writing changes back to your store.
ShopSheets creates a Google Sheet for your orders, fulfillments, and full product catalog. With full-history access (read_all_orders), select All time to load orders back to your first sale. Older installs may need to reconnect using the in-app banner. Changes arrive automatically over webhooks; refresh from the app after changing filters. It never writes back to your store and costs $9.99 a month flat. See how sync and filters work.
Matrixify
Best for: Bulk import/export, store migration, and full-history exports.
Not for: A cheap, no-setup live sheet, or read-only sharing with a teammate.
Matrixify handles the widest range of jobs here. It exports and imports across most Shopify objects, so you can migrate a store, bulk-edit products, or pull full order history to an Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets file. The trade is a steeper learning curve and volume-based pricing, and the output is a file you re-run rather than a live sheet. If you need to write data back into Shopify, it is the clearest choice. If cost or complexity is your reason to look elsewhere, see our Matrixify alternative.
EZ Exporter
Best for: Scheduled, custom-formatted exports to files, Sheets, FTP, or email.
Not for: A live, on-demand sheet, or writing data back into Shopify.
EZ Exporter focuses on export, not import. You build a custom export template, pick the fields and format, and schedule it to run to Google Sheets, FTP, email, or cloud storage. That suits recurring feeds and back-office handoffs where the layout has to match a downstream system. It is read-only and can export full history, but the result is a delivered file on a schedule, not a sheet you refresh on demand. For a one-off export you may not need an app at all; our free Shopify CSV tools cover quick file work.
Better Reports
Best for: Custom analytics and reporting, with scheduled delivery to Sheets.
Not for: A plain live order sheet, or importing and writing to your store.
Better Reports is a reporting app rather than a raw exporter. Its strength is building custom reports (sales, taxes, inventory, cohorts) with its query builder, then scheduling them to Google Sheets or email. Reach for it when you want analysis and calculated metrics, not just rows of orders. It is read-only and covers full history; it is more tool than you need if you only want a plain live order sheet. If you want current orders in a sheet without building reports, see how ShopSheets sync works.
Coupler.io
Best for: Combining Shopify with other data sources in Sheets or a warehouse.
Not for: A quick single-store Shopify sheet with no importer to build.
Coupler.io is a general data-integration tool that treats Shopify as one of 400-plus sources. You build an importer into Google Sheets, Excel, BigQuery, or Looker Studio and schedule it to refresh. That is powerful when you blend Shopify with ad spend, accounting, or CRM data, but it is more setup than a purpose-built Shopify app, and refresh runs on a schedule rather than on demand from the sheet.
Zapier
Best for: Event-driven automation between Shopify and other apps.
Not for: Pulling existing orders or building a historical export.
Zapier automates workflows between apps rather than exporting data. A Zap can trigger on a new Shopify order and append a row to Google Sheets, or write data back into Shopify through actions. It works going forward, per event, so it is a good fit for workflows and notifications but a poor one for pulling existing orders or building a historical sheet. Pricing is task-based, which adds up on high order volume.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the best Shopify app to export orders to Google Sheets?
- It depends on the job. For a live Google Sheet of orders that updates automatically, ShopSheets is the simplest fit. For scheduled custom exports, EZ Exporter; for bulk import/export or migration, Matrixify; for analytics reports, Better Reports; for blending Shopify with other data, Coupler.io.
- Which of these apps is the cheapest?
- ShopSheets is $9.99 per month flat, which is predictable regardless of volume. The others price in tiers by record volume, tasks, or plan, and several have free tiers for small jobs. Check each listing, since a free tier can be cheaper for occasional one-off exports.
- Do any of these export my full Shopify order history?
- Matrixify, EZ Exporter, Better Reports, and Coupler.io can export full order history to a file or sheet. ShopSheets also supports full order history in Google Sheets when your store grants full-history access (read_all_orders). Older installs may need to reconnect; select All time and refresh from the app. Zapier is event-based and captures new orders going forward, not historical ones.
- What is the difference between an export app and a live sync app?
- An export app runs a job that produces a file or a scheduled delivery; to update it you re-run the job. A live sync app like ShopSheets keeps the same sheet current automatically as orders, fulfillments, and products change. Export apps suit one-off or scheduled bulk work; live sync suits a sheet you check daily.
- Can these apps write data back into Shopify?
- Matrixify (via imports) and Zapier (via actions) can write to your store. ShopSheets, EZ Exporter, Better Reports, and Coupler.io are read-only for your store data, so nothing you do in the spreadsheet changes Shopify.
