Quick verdict: WEBI Orders To Google Sheets does one job - it appends new Shopify orders to a Google Sheet as they come in, for $9.99/month. eCommix covers that same order export (including real-time export on Silver plans and above) and adds everything WEBI doesn't: products, variants, inventory, customers, metafields, scheduled reports, and a two-way sync that writes spreadsheet edits back to Shopify. If order rows in a sheet are truly all you need, WEBI is the cheaper tool. The moment you want to update those orders from the sheet, export anything besides orders, or build automated reports, eCommix is the better fit.

What WEBI Orders To Google Sheets does well
WEBI Orders To Google Sheets, built by WebInnovate, is deliberately narrow: every new order lands in your Google Sheet automatically, without CSV exports or manual copying. It supports both automatic and manual export, custom filters so only certain orders are sent, and multiple destination spreadsheets. It also integrates with several product-options apps (Bold, Globo, Hulk, Infinite, King), so custom line-item options come through in the export - useful if your store sells personalized products.
At $9.99/month with a single unlimited plan, it's an inexpensive way to keep a running order log that your fulfillment partner or bookkeeper can watch.
Where eCommix goes further
eCommix treats the order-export use case as one job among many rather than the whole product:
- Everything, not just orders. Export products, variants, inventory levels, customers, refunds, abandoned checkouts, product images, and metafields - each as its own sync job with its own destination sheet. See the full list on our features page.
- Two-way sync. WEBI's data flows one direction. With eCommix, your team can edit order tags, notes, tracking numbers, and fulfillment status directly in the sheet and sync the changes back to Shopify. When a warehouse fills in a tracking column, eCommix marks the order fulfilled and Shopify sends the customer the standard tracking notification.
- Real-time order export. On Silver plans and above, new orders are exported the moment they arrive - the same "new order appears in the sheet" behavior WEBI offers, so third parties like a 3PL are notified instantly.
- Scheduled, refreshed reports. Order exports aren't just appended rows - full syncs refresh on a schedule (hourly, or every 10 minutes on Gold), so pivot tables and dashboards built on the data stay current. Timestamps respect your store's timezone and preferred date format.
- Formulas and formatting survive. Your VLOOKUPs, conditional formatting, frozen panes, and renamed headers are preserved on every refresh.

WEBI is cheaper if you compare its single plan against eCommix's paid tiers - that's the honest trade-off. You're paying for one feature versus a platform. Full details are on our pricing page.

FAQ
Can WEBI Orders To Google Sheets export products or inventory?
No. WEBI exports orders only. If you need products, variants, inventory, or customers in Google Sheets, you'll need a broader tool like eCommix, which exports every major Shopify resource including metafields.
Can either app update Shopify orders from the spreadsheet?
Only eCommix. Its two-way sync lets you edit order tags, notes, tracking numbers, and fulfillment status in Google Sheets and push those changes back to Shopify, with a preview of every change before it's applied. WEBI is a one-way export.
Does eCommix export new orders in real time like WEBI does?
Yes. On Silver plans and above, eCommix exports new orders to your sheet the moment they're placed, so warehouses or third-party services see them instantly.
Is WEBI cheaper than eCommix?
For orders-only export, yes - WEBI is $9.99/month against eCommix's Bronze plan at $14.99/month. eCommix also has a free plan, and the price difference buys two-way editing, all other Shopify resources, and scheduled reports.
