Clearer import status reporting: Altera has four import result statuses - OK, Warning, Skipped, and Failed - so you can tell at a glance what happened to each row. "Warning" means the item was saved but some data was skipped (e.g., an invalid metafield value). "Skipped" means the row was intentionally skipped because it didn't match the command (e.g., using NEW on an item that already exists).

Smarter metafield error handling: When one metafield in a row has an invalid value, Altera skips just that metafield and still saves the rest of the row. The skipped metafield is reported as a warning with a clear error code.

Command-line tool (CLI): Run imports and exports from your terminal, automate workflows, and integrate Altera into your development process (available on Developer and Pro plans)

Automatically converting rich text metafields (rich_text_field) to Shopify's JSON format on import. (Matrixify added this feature about two weeks after we announced it)

Automatically detects CSV delimiter and chooses between comma, tab, semicolon, space, colon, and pipe delimiters

Data Transformations: Automatically restructure exported spreadsheets (rename, reorder, extract, combine columns, and more)

Sales channel publishing: Control publication status for products and collections across individual sales channels (Online Store, POS, Facebook, etc.)

Automatic discounts with customer targeting: Import and export automatic discounts with customer targeting (by email address or customer segment)

Product category metafield migration: When migrating products between stores, Altera automatically enables product category metafield definitions and creates the required metaobject entries on the destination store. This means you can migrate products with category attributes (like color pattern, material, or style) without manually setting up the metaobject definitions first.

Phone number formatting: Format phone numbers in exports as strict international (E.164), readable international, or national format

File name format: Choose whether file and image references in exports use the file name (default) or the full CDN URL. Helps when moving data between stores-use file names for portable values or CDN URL for direct links. Applies to metaobject file fields and file reference metafields on products, orders, and other types.

Full Google Drive and Google Sheets integration: Import directly from and export directly to Google Drive and Google Sheets. Matrixify only supports Google Sheets via the IMPORTURL() function, which has size limitations, requires refreshing the page to see the latest changes, and no formatting.

Editable scheduled jobs: Edit the scheduled time and interval for scheduled jobs after creation. Matrixify requires you to delete and recreate the schedule to make changes.

Blog and Blog Post metafields: Export metafields for both Blogs and Blog Posts. Matrixify only supports Blog Post metafields.
