Shopi-Sheet: Shopify – Google Sheet Sync
Many ecommerce merchants depend on spreadsheets to analyse sales, manage inventory, and prepare customer reports. Manually exporting CSV files from Shopify and then importing them into Google Sheets still leaves room for human error, version conflicts, and delayed insights.
Third-party apps in the Shopify App Store may offer real-time syncing, but they often carry high subscription fees and require full access to your store data, raising cost and privacy concerns. Shopi-Sheet delivers the same benefits — without the expense or the privacy trade-offs — by offering two flexible sync options that integrate directly with Google Sheets.
CSV-Based Sync: schedule Shopify to email order, product, and inventory CSVs to a designated inbox. A Google Apps Script watches a Google Drive folder, automatically imports each new CSV into your spreadsheet, and triggers updates. Immediately unlock visibility with pre-built Google Sheets dashboards — charts, slicers, and pivot tables are ready to use. For deeper analytics, link the same sheet to a Looker Studio dashboard that refreshes in real time. Because the CSV includes customer fields, you can perform regional dimensions analysis and segment studies without extra effort.
API-Based Sync: use Shopify’s API to fetch order, product, and inventory data at regular intervals without sharing storefront credentials with third parties. While Shopify Plus customers can include full customer records, standard plans still benefit from order-level data. Edits in the sheet — stock level adjustments, price changes, or order status updates — can be pushed back into Shopify, letting your team work entirely within Google Sheets. Grant your staff access only to the spreadsheet, eliminating the need to manage Shopify user roles and permissions.
You should not need to spend thousands on a full BI platform or App Store subscription to gain real-time insight and control over your ecommerce data. Shopi-Sheet offers a scalable, cost-effective alternative, starting with tools you already know — Google Sheets and Apps Script — and growing into Looker Studio or API-driven workflows.
