Export orders with attachments in the history

Shopify Discussion

I would like to export orders in the backend together with the files that I have uploaded there in the history so that I can also access the orders and attached documents outside of Shopify.

Is there an app that makes this possible? Unfortunately, I haven’t found anything like this in the app store.

Thanks in advance!

Hey @Dry-Ager ,

To export orders along with the files uploaded in the order history and access them outside Shopify, you will need a tailored solution, as Shopify’s native functionality doesn’t support exporting files attached to orders.

Exporting orders with uploaded files from Shopify requires an app or custom solution capable of combining order data and file attachments. While Shopify’s App Store may not directly offer a ready-made app for this, there are approaches you can take to achieve this functionality:

  1. Custom App or Script
  • A custom app or script can be developed to:

-Extract order data using Shopify’s Admin API.

-Retrieve and include any uploaded files or metafields linked to the orders.

-Export the combined data (e.g., orders + attached files) in a structured format like CSV, along with downloadable file links.

  1. Third-Party Apps:

-Although no app directly exports files with orders, some apps allow order data customization:

  • Matrixify (formerly Excelify): This app allows exporting Shopify data with advanced customization. You can configure it to include file URLs (if stored in order metafields or tags).

  • Shopify Flow (Advanced Customization): For Shopify Plus users, Flow can automate data exports and trigger file storage solutions.

  1. Integration with Cloud Storage:
  • Files uploaded in the order history can be stored in a cloud solution like Google Drive or Dropbox via automation tools (Zapier or Make). This ensures that both orders and files are centralized for external access.
  1. Custom API Integration:

-You can use Shopify APIs to:

-Pull order details and attached files.

-Sync the data with external systems or save files on a cloud server. This approach allows scalability and specific customization per your needs.

If you’d like us to implement a custom solution for you, I can assist with:

  • Building an automated process to sync orders and files with a storage system.

  • Customizing apps like Matrixify to include file URLs in the exported data.

  • Setting up a robust, scalable API integration tailored specifically to your workflow.
