How Do You Export Your Shopify Products as a JSON File?

Step 1: Create the Shopify Product Export URL #

1. Open your preferred web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge)

In the address bar, type the following URL, but replace “your-shopify-store.com” with your actual Shopify store domain: https://your-shopify-store.com/products.json?limit=250&page=1

For example, if your store is called “myawesomeshop.com“, you would type:
https://myawesomeshop.com/products.json?limit=250&page=1

Step 2: Access and Format the JSON Data #

1. Press Enter to load the URL

2. You’ll see a page full of code – this is your product data in JSON format

3. To make it easier to read (optional but recommended):
   • In Chrome: Right-click anywhere on the page and select “Inspect” to open DevTools
   • Click on the {} icon in the DevTools panel to format the JSON nicely
   • In Firefox, click the {} button that appears in the JSON page to format it

Step 3: Save the JSON File #

1. Press Ctrl+s (Windows/Linux) or Command+s (Mac) to open the Save dialogue
2. Choose a location on your computer where you can easily find the file

3. Name the file “products.json” (or another name you’ll remember)
4. Make sure “Save as type” is set to “JSON file”
5. Click “Save”

Step 4: For Stores with More Than 250 Products (Optional) #

1. If your store has more than 250 products, you’ll need to repeat the process with page=2, page=3, etc.

Change the URL to:
https://your-shopify-store.com/products.json?limit=250&page=2

2. Save this as a separate file, like “products-page2.json”
3. Continue with page=3, page=4, etc. until you’ve exported all your products
