Exporting Form Submissions Entries

[Schui_Baumann1]

Would be great if Shopify could add a simple feature to export the submissions to Shopify Forms as simple cvs or excel files. Right now, it let's you only view those entries as a list inside the shopify backend. Should be really simple to add an "export list" button like any other reports pages have as well.

the Shopify help form suggests third-party apps, but they all only have paid plans and i'm not even sure if any of those third party apps can really do this.

Hi,

Totally agree with your point. Right now, Shopify Forms only shows submissions in the admin panel, and there’s no built-in way to download them as a CSV or Excel file like we can with reports.

Here’s a simple workaround I’ve used when I needed the data in a spreadsheet:

Option 1: Manual copy
Go to the form submission list in the admin. Highlight the text entries using your mouse, copy them, and paste them into a spreadsheet (like Google Sheets or Excel). This works well if the number of entries is small and you just need to keep a record.

Option 2: Use another form tool
If you’re managing a lot of submissions, it’s possible to use free tools like Google Forms or Typeform. You can embed these into a Shopify page. They save all form responses directly to a spreadsheet, which is really convenient for exporting.

I also hope Shopify adds a basic "Export" feature in the future. It would make things much easier without needing workarounds.

Hope this gives you a few practical ideas to consider.

According to Shopify’s official documentation and API restrictions (https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/custom-data/permissions#app-owned-namespaces-and-types), only the same app that created the Shopify Form can access its submissions via GraphQL API.

This means that implementing a standalone third-party app to export Shopify Forms submissions — or even extending existing apps like DataEase — isn’t technically possible because of these permission limitations.

However, to help with this, I’ve created a free and open-source Chrome extension that allows exporting Shopify Forms submissions directly from the Admin interface into a CSV file.

👉 Extension source code: https://github.com/ozhehkovski/shopify_forms_exporter

👉 Installation and usage guide: https://dataease.app/shopify_forms_exporter/

Since the extension works fully inside your browser (using your Shopify Admin session), it doesn’t require any third-party API access and fully respects Shopify’s permissions model.

Hope this helps!
