We've just pushed a small update today to EZ Exporter to provide an option to select a custom date and time format.

By default, the Shopify API returns the date and time in ISO 8601 format which looks something like this:

2017-03-30T10:38:59-06:00

We recently received a question from a customer asking if there's a way to grab just the month and year. This is actually possible using Calculated Fields, but the formula is a bit complicated, so we decided to …

In addition to sending reports via email, FTP, and SFTP, we've also recently added Dropbox support to EZ Exporter!

We use Dropbox here at Highview Apps ourselves for sharing all kinds of files. It makes our workflow much more efficient by not relying on email to share files.

One of our customers needed a way to pull a specific Line Item Property from his Shopify orders to his exported CSV file and assign it to a specific column.

Order Metafields support has been added to EZ Exporter. Together with Product Metafields and Product Variant Metafields, EZ Exporter now provides you with a way to pull pretty much any data you can think of from your orders and generate your own custom CSV reports.

As usual, you can specify your own column names and their position in the exported file.

SFTP, also known as "FTP over SSH", is now supported by EZ Exporter.

By default, our server will connect to your SFTP server via the standard SSH port 22. However, you can override this by appending the port name to your server's hostname or IP address.

For example:

sftp.mydomain.com:22444

or

102.323.23.23:22444
