ShopifyQL Reports in Google Sheets for Better Decision-Making
ShopifyQL gives you powerful analytics inside Shopify Admin, but teams often need custom formulas, pivots, and dashboards beyond what the built-in reports offer. By exporting Shopify data to Google Sheets with eCommix – Google Sheets Sync, you can build the same types of sales, product, and customer analyses that ShopifyQL powers, but with full spreadsheet flexibility.
How it works: eCommix exports your Shopify data (orders, products, inventory, customers) on a schedule into Google Sheets tabs. You then build custom analyses, pivots, and dashboards on top of that data, similar to what ShopifyQL reports show in Shopify Admin, but with the added power of formulas, charts, and team collaboration in Sheets.
Real use case: Weekly profitability and product mix review
A growth team analyzes product performance every week and needs more flexibility than fixed admin reports. ShopifyQL exports feed a custom Google Sheets dashboard for margin and mix analysis.
This shortens the cycle from data to decisions.
- Analyst refreshes ShopifyQL outputs on schedule
- Leadership reviews top movers and declining SKUs
- Team acts faster on pricing and promo opportunities
Use eCommix – Google Sheets Sync to export Shopify products to Google Sheets, bulk edit safely, validate changes, and import updates back to Shopify.
