Shopify Tip: How to View the Raw JSON Data of an Order, Product, or Customer Through the Shopify Admin

Did you know that you can view the raw data of an order, product, or customer by simply appending ".json" to the URL while logged in to the Shopify admin?

This is a pretty neat trick as it allows you to view data that's not even visible in the Shopify Admin pages. The data shown here is in JSON format, which is basically the same data that you'll see when using the Shopify API.

All you have to do is:

  1. Log in to your Shopify store.
  2. In the admin, select an Order, Product, or Customer.
  3. Simply add .json to the URL in the address bar of your web browser and hit enter (see screenshot).

You will then see something like this after going to this URL:

Shopify Admin Raw JSON Data

As you can see from the screenshot, the raw data gives you some additional information about the product such as the Variant ID, Inventory Item ID, Image URLs, and when the product was created and last updated.
