Line Item Properties Exporter (Lite)
The Opportunity
A minimal export tool that pulls line_item.properties and related custom fields from orders to CSV/XLSX without the bloat. Designed for speed, clarity, and one-click recurring exports to email or Google Sheets.
"Merchants and developers struggle to export line item properties from orders with simple, focused tooling; existing apps often feel heavy with too many features."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide a streamlined exporter that maps and flattens line_item.properties/customAttributes, metafields, and order notes into clean CSV/XLSX, with filters, saved presets, and scheduled deliveries.
Target Audience
Merchants using product options/customizations captured as line item properties; ops teams needing repeatable reports; developers wanting a simple utility.
Competitive Landscape
Matrixify (Excelify), EZ Exporter by Highview Apps, Data Export IO, Exportify
Implementation Notes
Build a Shopify app with Admin GraphQL to query orders->lineItems.customAttributes (REST: line_item.properties). Implement pagination (connections/cursors), date/status/tag filters, and field mapping. Generate CSV streaming and XLSX via SheetJS. Offer presets, schedule jobs (cron/worker), and email/Google Sheets delivery (OAuth to Google). Add simple UI (Polaris) with preview and sample export. Handle GDPR webhooks and OAuth 2.0. Optionally include metafields, note_attributes, and tags. Keep scope narrow and performance-focused.
