Hey @Gabe
Renars here from Matrixify app.
Merchants are using our app to bulk import and export data from their Shopify store.
There are many cases where this is needed by merchants.
1. Mainly - the ability to bulk update this data.
Same as with other fields, the ability to bulk update it becomes crucial when the store has over a few hundred products.
2. Import this data when migrating from another platform to Shopify.
Other platforms, especially more custom ones, also have this data. But when the merchant is migrating to Shopify, there is no current way to migrate also the unit_price and unit_price_measurement fields into Shopify.
3. Duplicate, clone, or synchronize Shopify stores.
A lot of users use our app to duplicate, clone, or automatically sync their Shopify stores, and as it is from Shopify to Shopify then it should be expected that all Products data can be migrated over, but these details are missing from the migration/synchronization.
4. Synchronize data from suppliers.
Specific suppliers provide these details in their product files.
Merchants use our app to create automated, semi-automated, or manual imports from supplier data to Shopify, but these fields still need to be set manually in the admin.
5. Custom reports.
This data is also needed for custom reports that merchants can create using our app by exporting Orders or Products.
At the moment, our app does not support the ability to import or export these fields which leads to frustration from merchants as they need to manually enter this data in Shopify Admin.
There are no workarounds for this, so we have no way to eliminate this frustration for our Merchants and Agencies.
I hope this information from us helps to implement the ability to read/write this data via the Shopify REST API or GraphQL.
