This is an excellent app for Shopify users. I must take a moment and give a shout-out to their support person, Daniel. Daniel keeps answering my questions quickly, even making a video to help. Its the level of support and quality that makes this worth getting.

Super helpful, thanks a lot for making this! You're saving us SO MUCH TIME. Small tip : export your stuff with Altera and use ChatGPT or other AI to manipulate your data, they're actually very great.

Super tevreden van deze app. Bij het aanvragen van een nieuwe feature kreeg ik een paar maand later onmiddellijk een update dat ze deze feature hadden toegevoegd. Toppers dus!

Altera has been super helpful with migrating data and reviewing content in bulk. It offers great flexibility in identifying products, collections and custom bulk data. In several instances I've needed development outside the standard implementation and Altera support has been really helpful and aimed to deliver everything we've asked. Daniel has been particularly helpful and answered all questions with helpful and insightful solutions.

Finally I can export a file containing the stock quantities and prices in one document. Activating different warehouses is no longer possible via the native platform. Thank you!

For an app that's still in beta testing, this thing is absolutely amazing. It's simple to use, you can queue up multiple files at the same time, and it's surprisingly quick to actually import the data. I was doing some very large and strange imports, so I had a few hiccups, but Daniel responded super quick and had me sorted out in no time at all. When the alternative is $200/month, this app is definitely worth trying out. I highly recommend this app, and a big thumbs-up to their support team!
