How to create a dashboard with Shopify using Google Sheets

By using Google Sheets as a third-party tool, you can import your Shopify data into DashThis easily by following a few steps.

 

At this time, DashThis does not provide a direct integration for Shopify data but if there is a will, there is a way! Using our Google Sheets integration, you can easily export your data directly from Shopify and import it into DashThis.

Not sure which data to import? That's okay because not only do we cover all the steps necessary to import your data but we even suggest which fields you should choose to get the most out of your report!

 

First things first, make sure that you have the data export reports app:

*Notes for Step 10:

  • You can also export a CSV file manually, then import it into Google Sheets to verify the export format and make sure that all of the columns have the right data format in Google Sheets - You can find our Google Sheet format in its own dedicated article.
