Yes, it is possible to download products in .xml format from your Shopify store. There are a few applications that can help you with this. One such application is the Shopify Product Exporter app. This app allows you to export your products in various formats including .xml. The app is available in the Shopify App Store and can be easily installed to your store.

Additionally, you can also use third-party tools to export your Shopify data to .xml format. These tools can be found by searching online and they provide a way to automate the process of data export from your store.

In either case, the .xml format can be used to import the product data into other platforms, transfer the data to other applications for analysis or backup, or for other similar purposes.

Hello @Onur69,

Yes, it is possible to download products from your Shopify store in XML format. Shopify provides an API (Application Programming Interface) that allows you to export product data from your store. You can use this API to extract your product data into XML format.

Here's a high-level overview of the steps involved:

1. Obtain an API key

To access the Shopify API, you need to create an API key. This can be done by navigating to the "Apps" section of your Shopify admin panel and clicking on the "Manage private apps" option. From there, you can create a new private app and generate an API key.

2. Make a request to the API

Using the API key, you can make a request to the Shopify API to retrieve your product data. The API supports a variety of methods for accessing and manipulating product data, including GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. You'll need to use the GET method to retrieve your product data.

3. Format the response

The API will return your product data in JSON format. You can use a JSON to XML conversion tool to convert the data into XML format. Alternatively, you can write a program or script to parse the JSON data and generate the XML file.

4. Store the data

Once you have the product data in XML format, you can store it on your local machine or in a cloud storage service for later use.

Note that the exact details of how to make a request to the API and format the response will depend on the programming language you're using and your specific use case. The Shopify API documentation provides more detailed information on how to use the API, including example requests and responses, as well as information on authentication and error handling.

Additionally, there are also third-party applications available in the Shopify App Store that can assist with this process like "Exportify" which can help you easily export your product data, including all product details, variants, and images, into an XML file.

You should always review the app's permissions and privacy policy before installing third-party apps on your store to ensure that they comply with your data protection and privacy standards.

Hope this helps
