Much better system that Shopify's built-in importing. I genuinely can't imagine effective product updates on Shopify without Matrixify

We've been using Data Export for over a year for basic scheduled reports, and it's perfectly functional for that. However, where it really excels is customization. I just started using it for some more complicated reports and integrations and I'm impressed by the app's ability to report on custom metafields. There was a slight issue with some out of date documentation, but the support chat was extremely helpful: Sree set up the metafield column I needed very quickly, offered to set up any others I needed, and answered all of my questions about the script being used so I should be able to set everything up on my own in the future. I'm also quite appreciative of the export options, both scheduled and manual. I'm setting up an integration that requires FTP transfers and thought I'd have to do manual report edits and need a 3rd party program, but Data Export has both advanced column formatting tools and FTP support built in, alongside google drive. While I typically need fairly advanced features, the app is also very easy and intuitive to use. You can set it up entirely with plain-english "select from list" if you want to, or you can get deep in the details with custom scripts. Overall, highly recommend, regardless of your technical requirements it's just very functional and I keep finding more things it can do.
Shipstation is a fantastic platform for managing shipments! I've been using it for over a year and a half, and it continues to surpass my expectations. Pros: - The interface is nicely laid out to give access to all of the tools we need without being overwhelming, with good navigation and tab organization - You can set up customized filter and column views, and save them as tabs for easy repeat reference - The search function with advanced search is very accurate and reliable, with options to fine tune the results extensively - Product info can be updated with selective imports so you're not overwriting any existing data - There are multiple stackable options for product and order organization to give very granular control over your systems - The automation rules are extensive, with virtually every product and order variable usable as an automation trigger - Built-in batch fulfillment with the ability to generate batches through both automation and manual filtering: if you've set the item weights/boxes/customs info/batches/filtering/etc up correctly, you can process orders near-instantly - Networked printer integration: if you set up the connection with Shipstation Connect (free desktop application) on one computer, you can print from Shipstation on any device - Support is quick to respond and very knowledgeable - The documentation is extensive, easy to understand, and simple to navigate through - The pricing is also very affordable for the amount of time we save - It has integrations for all the platforms we use and can manage multiple stores and couriers The only notable con is that Shipstation currently lacks built-in tools for tracking packing materials: you can create custom box sizes and add them to orders seamlessly with both automatic and manual options, but you can't add a weight to a box listing and have the order weight adjust automatically when you change the box, or remove a box from inventory when you process a shipment. Small thing, but annoying: we end up adding the box weight to the product weights so we can batch fulfil our 1-2 item orders, but it messes all the calculations up for multi-item orders. Overall highly recommend, Shipstation is an excellent platform: I've recommended it to several small business owners in passing, and I'd recommend it in general to anyone who has to track orders.
