Data Import from Shopify: Automated Product Feed Import
Channable automatically pulls your product data from Shopify or another platform. Including variants, images, prices and inventory. No more manual exports.

Data import is the first and most important step in feed management. Without correct import of your product data, Channable cannot optimize or export your feeds to channels. Channify ensures this foundation is perfect.
We connect Channable directly to your Shopify store via the official API. Every change in your product catalog - new products, price changes, inventory updates - is automatically synchronized. We also support other platforms like Magento, WooCommerce, Lightspeed and custom CSV/XML imports.
What do we import? Product titles, descriptions, images, prices, inventory, variants, EAN codes, brand, category and all custom fields you have set up. Nothing gets lost.

How we set up your data import
Platform analysis
We analyze your current platform and product catalog. Which fields are available, which are missing, and which custom fields have you set up?
Connect import
We connect Channable to your platform via API or file import. We configure the correct mapping of fields and verify data quality.
Validation and going live
We validate the imported data: missing fields, incorrect formats, duplicate products. After approval, the import goes live.
Frequently asked questions about data import
How often is my product data synchronized?
Channable pulls your data standard multiple times per day. For Shopify via the API, this can be up to every 15 minutes. For inventory-sensitive channels, we adjust it to be more frequent.
Does data import also work with other platforms than Shopify?
Yes, Channable supports more than 50 platforms including Magento, WooCommerce, Lightspeed, CCV Shop, PrestaShop and BigCommerce. Custom CSV/XML imports are also possible.
What happens if a product has no EAN or GTIN?
We identify missing fields during the analysis and solve this with rules: we generate EANs where possible or fill in alternative identifiers that the channel accepts.
Can I also import custom fields?
Yes, custom fields you have set up in Shopify (metafields) are automatically included in the import. We can then map these to channel-specific fields.
