Product Save & Sync

Product Save & Sync roadmap

Dates move. This list is honest about it. Items shift between buckets as priorities change; the headline "In progress" commitment is what we're actively building today, not a marketing promise. For what's already shipped see the changelog.

Shipped

The feature set merchants can install and use today. The core app is feature-complete: everything needed to copy, clone and back up Shopify products between stores is live.

  • Full-fidelity product export — variants, SKUs, images, videos and 3D models (all downloaded as original files), handles, SEO fields, metafields (every namespace the app has scope for, including private), metaobjects and definitions, collection membership and full collection details, inventory per location (including legacy and deactivated), tags, sales channel assignments, selling plan associations, custom theme template assignments, and file-type metafield references.
  • Three operating modesRestore (same store, products matched by Shopify ID); Duplicate (same store, new product created fresh); Sync (cross-store copy, products matched by handle, variants matched by SKU). Sync is the cross-store clone path; Restore and Duplicate stay single-store.
  • Share tokens for cross-store copy via Sync — generate a token on the source store, paste on the destination; the snapshot transfers directly between the two PSS installations with no ZIP round-trip.
  • Standalone importer — offline restore from a saved ZIP — re-upload a previously downloaded ZIP archive on the Snapshots page to create a new snapshot from your local backup. Restore into any store with no source store online — useful where the source has been wound down, archived, or was never connected to PSS.
  • Server-side snapshot management — every export is kept as an encrypted snapshot on our servers. Import, download, share via token or upload directly from the Snapshots page; no need to download and re-upload between runs. Up to three snapshots are retained per store; the oldest rolls off automatically when a fourth is created. Downloaded local ZIPs are unaffected.
  • Per-resource preview before import — every create, update, match and skip listed for review and approval before any writes happen on the target. Covers products, shared metafield definitions, collections, metaobjects, pinned status, and location mappings. This is the dry-run step for staging-to-production pushes.
  • Collection type-mismatch flow — custom vs. smart collection mismatches between source and target cannot be converted in place (Shopify API limitation). We detect them up front and let you pick per collection: delete and recreate with the correct type, create new with suffix, or keep existing and sync only the fields that are safe to change.
  • Full reconciliation on the target — in Restore and Sync modes, extra variants, channel assignments, inventory levels, collection memberships and selling plan associations not in the source are cleaned up automatically. Duplicate mode is purely additive and does not reconcile.
  • Cross-store metaobject handling — references rewritten to point at matching entries on the target store; instances and definitions created when missing, matched by handle and type name respectively.
  • Import runs audit log — every import you've run, with date, mode, product count and outcome, kept as a read-only trail.
  • Detailed import summary — what was created, updated, matched, skipped, warned on or failed, broken down per resource type (products, media, custom fields, collections, channels, selling plans, metaobjects), every run.
  • Filter and scope — export a single product, a collection, or the whole catalogue. Search and filter supported.
  • Progress tracking — real-time indicator and per-product error logs; handles stores past 100k products.
  • Data security — encrypted at rest (every blob individually encrypted before storage), store isolation, opt-in sharing via token only. ZIPs are assembled on the fly and streamed to the browser — never saved on our servers.
  • Pricing plans live on the Shopify App Store — Free Starter and Unlimited. Current limits and price are on the landing page pricing section.
In progress

Nothing is currently in active development. The core product is feature-complete. Watch the changelog for patch-level updates.

Nothing here right now.

Out of scope

Not planned. Kept here so merchants evaluating the tool don't assume it's coming.

  • Orders, customers, and other non-product data. Use a dedicated backup tool for that.
  • Full-store cloning including themes, apps, and settings. PSS is product-focused by design.
  • Selling plan group creation on target stores — PSS associates products with existing groups but does not recreate subscription-app configuration. Install the same subscription app on the target store first.
  • YouTube / Vimeo video files — embed links are preserved; downloading hosted video would violate platform terms of service.
  • Third-party fulfillment service settings — the product and variant still import; Shopify's default fulfillment is used on the target.
  • International / market-specific pricing — managed through Shopify Markets, outside product-level data.
