# Product export (CSV & JSON)

Export Shopify products as Shopify-compatible CSV or raw JSON — ready for store migration, analysis, or custom tooling.

## Overview

ShopSniffer exports products in two formats optimized for different use cases: a Shopify-compatible CSV for direct store-to-store migration, and a raw JSON file for analysis and custom tooling. Both cover the full catalog, not just the free-export preview.

## CSV export (Shopify-compatible)

The CSV export follows [Shopify's product CSV format](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/import-export/using-csv), so you can import it directly into another Shopify store via **Admin → Products → Import**. Every row includes:

**Product identity**

`Handle`, `Title`, `Body (HTML)`, `Vendor`, `Product Type`, `Tags`, `Published`, `Status`
  **Variants**

`Option1/2/3 Name/Value`, `Variant SKU`, `Variant Price`, `Variant Compare At Price`, `Variant Inventory Qty`, `Variant Weight`
  **Media**

`Image Src`, `Image Alt Text`
  **SEO**

`SEO Title`, `SEO Description`

Each product may span multiple rows — one per variant, plus additional rows for extra images. This matches Shopify's expected import shape exactly.

## JSON export

The JSON export contains the raw Shopify product JSON — ideal for custom analysis, data science, or building your own tools. Includes full variant details, metafields, and all image data. Unlike the CSV, there's no row-per-variant flattening; each product is a single object with nested arrays.

Use JSON when you want:

- Data science / notebook workflows
- Custom ETL into a database
- Feeding ML models
- Anything beyond pure Shopify-to-Shopify migration

## Collections & pages JSON

In addition to products, every report includes JSON exports for all collections and pages. These contain titles, descriptions, images, handles, and body HTML content. See [downloads](/downloads) for the full file list and schema.
