ShopifyExtractor

Pulling product data out of a Shopify store is a common task. People need it for competitive research, store migrations, catalog audits and building datasets. The usual routes involve developer accounts, API keys or OAuth flows, which is a lot of setup when the goal is simply a clean list of products. For many users, that friction is enough to stop the job before it starts.

We wanted to give people structured product data from any public Shopify store without that overhead. The data also needed to be organized the way stores themselves are organized: by collection.

We built ShopifyExtractor as a Chrome extension, so it sits in the browser where the user is already looking at the store. We kept the workflow to four steps:

1. Enter the store URL.
2. Load the store's collection list.
3. Choose a collection or the entire catalog.
4. Download the files.

There are no credentials to manage and no configuration screens.

We focused on output that is useful straight away. The CSV is formatted for direct Shopify import and opens cleanly in Excel and Google Sheets. The JSON keeps the complete raw product data for anyone who needs more detail.

Extraction does not always succeed. A collection can be blocked or empty, and we didn't want users left guessing when that happens. In those cases, the extension produces a report that explains why.

ShopifyExtractor is published on the Chrome Web Store under the Intertoons name.

• Store URL input: accepts any public Shopify store address as the starting point.
• Collection browser: automatically fetches the store's full collection list, with product counts.
• Flexible extraction scope: pulls a single collection or the whole catalog.
• CSV export: formatted for Shopify import and compatible with Excel and Google Sheets.
• JSON export: includes complete product data with variants, images, tags and options. By default, the extension downloads CSV and JSON together.
• Diagnostic report: explains why a collection could not be extracted when it is blocked or empty.
