A user seeks to bypass Shopify’s default behavior of emailing CSV exports when selecting over 50 orders, preferring direct downloads instead. They need to export 200+ orders at a time, and sharing a main email among staff creates confusion.
Current Limitation:
Shopify has no native setting to force downloads for bulk exports—options are limited to email links or API access.
Suggested Solutions:
Additional Question:
One participant asks about re-importing exported orders into a new store, though this remains unanswered.
The discussion remains open with no built-in solution, but multiple app-based workarounds are available.
Hey there Shimlee,
If you’re open to using an app, our app EZ Exporter can email the actual file as an attachment. You can also also upload directly to Dropbox, Google Drive/Sheets, etc.
You can set multiple filters directly in the app to export all orders matching the filters.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the app.
