Managing product data in an e-commerce platform can be a complex task, especially when dealing with large inventories. This article compares two prominent methods for handling product data in Shopify: the native CSV system and the Matrixify Excel approach. We'll explore how these tools differ and why choosing the right one can significantly impact your workflow efficiency.

Shopify vs Matrixify Comparison

FEATURE SHOPIFY MATRIXIFY

Multiple Images Requires copying rows and adding each image to a separate row. Allows multiple images in one row, separated by semicolons.
Metafields Cannot export/import Metafields. Exports and imports Metafields as columns in the table.
Product Updates Replaces entire product; no field-specific updates. Allows individual field updates without replacing products.
Template Suffix Cannot update in bulk. Supports bulk Template Suffix updates as a column.
Product IDs Deletes and recreates products with new IDs, losing references. Keeps IDs and references intact, preserving Custom Collections.
