Use variant columns as product identifiers with [ID]

Try Altera for free

Import and export Shopify data with ease. Matrixify-compatible.

Available on Shopify App Store

You can now use variant-level columns as product identifiers by adding [ID] to the column name – making it easier to update product-level fields without needing a separate product ID or handle column.

🚀 What’s New
#

  • Variant SKU [ID] – use the SKU column as a product identifier to update product-level fields like Title, Vendor, or Tags without including product ID or handle columns.
  • Variant Barcode [ID] – use the Barcode column as a product identifier for similar flexibility.
  • Variant ID [ID] – use the Variant ID column as a product identifier when updating products by their variant IDs.

This works particularly well when you maintain a product catalog in an external system keyed by SKU or Barcode, letting you update product details without managing Shopify’s product IDs or handles.
