EZ Exporter ‑ Data Exports
If you need Shopify data in someone else's exact file format on a schedule, this builds it — but you'll be writing formulas or emailing the developer, and it prints no labels and tracks no parcels.
Should you install it?
EZ Exporter is a build-it-yourself data export tool, not a shipping app — it produces files in whatever layout your 3PL, ERP, marketplace or accounting system demands and delivers them to FTP/SFTP, Google Sheets or email on a schedule. The consistent, nine-year-long finding is that its calculated fields and conditional logic will hit formats other export apps cannot (5790, 3660, 3373), and that the developer will personally write the configuration for you by email, often within hours (5623, 7717, 4917). The cost is a real learning curve and dependence on that email support for anything beyond the templates (5790, 3103, 5397); if you want point-and-click reporting or live chat, look elsewhere. No reviewer reports a billing surprise, data loss or lock-in, and no carrier is named in any of the 100 reviews — do not install this expecting labels, rates or tracking. Budget for a setup conversation rather than a five-minute install, and if you depend on a daily file, build your own check that it arrived: the two reported breakages were caught by the developer, not by the merchant (8485, 4917).
Fair evidence. The strengths are well evidenced and corroborated by multi-year users (6956 at 6 years, 6288 at 6 years, 6638 at 5 years, 6637 at 5 years, 7717 at 4+ years), so I trust what it is good at. The failure profile is close to unverifiable: zero negative reviews in 9.6 years, only 9 reviews in the last 12 months, 30% of reviewers under a month of use including several at hours, and both 4-star reviews containing no criticism. I can tell you who this serves well; I cannot tell you reliably how it behaves when it goes wrong at scale.
Right for
- Stores that must hand a 3PL, ERP or warehouse system a fixed, non-negotiable file layout (5790, 4851, 8556, 0951)
- Merchants who need recurring scheduled reports delivered to email, Google Sheets or FTP without manual work (2548, 4217, 7458, 6441)
- Operations people comfortable with formulas and conditional logic, or willing to email support to get them written (4917, 2405, 3660)
- Product-feed builders who need per-channel column layouts and recalculated prices (1554, 2732, 3660)
- Stores migrating off Magento/Xtento-style order exports (3942)
- Long-horizon setups: several reviewers are 4–6 years in and still running it (6956, 6288, 6638, 6637, 7717)
Wrong for
- Anyone shopping for shipping functions — no reviewer in 100 reviews mentions buying labels, rating carriers or tracking parcels, and no carrier is named anywhere
- Merchants who want a point-and-click report builder with no learning curve (5790, 1561, 4875)
- Non-technical owners who have nobody to lean on — the ones who coped did so by emailing support repeatedly (3103, 5397, 7296)
- Stores that need live chat or phone support; every account describes email, answered in hours to a couple of days (6438, 0951)
- Anyone who needs certainty that a broken scheduled export will alert them — reviews do not describe any in-app alerting, and in two cases the developer spotted the failure first (4917, 8485)
What will annoy you
Anything beyond the templates needs the developer's involvement — the praise for support is also evidence the app is not self-serve for complex configs: 12 reviews, steady, last seen 2026-01.
How the developer behaves when it breaks
There are no public developer replies on the App Store at all (reply rate 0.0) and no negative reviews to reply to, so the public record cannot be used to test how failures are handled. Everything known comes from merchants' own accounts of email support at support@highviewapps.com: a feature added "within hours of asking" (5623), an export failure under high volume fixed over a weekend (8485), an encoding error in a daily export fixed in under 12 hours after the developer spotted it (4917), a custom CSV built and tweaked over several days (3373), a new feature built to fit one merchant's workflow (0728), and replies often inside 30 minutes (7717). The counterweight is 6438, which puts resolution at 95% of cases within 2 days — good, but not 100%.
What goes wrong 5 recurring themes
- Learning curve: reviewers say it rewards Shopify and programming familiarity, and that trial and error is part of setup 6 reviews steady, last seen 2026-01

“we asked A LOT for a company of our scale (+20 different e-mail sessions)” review 5397
- Scheduled exports have broken quietly — once under high order volume, once from a data-encoding issue; in both cases the developer noticed before the merchant did 2 reviews fading, last seen 2020-04

Trend
The last 12 months are 9 reviews (6956, 1816, 6892, 5623, 6637, 3821, 6288, 3103, 0857) against 11 in the prior 12 — flat, low volume for a listing that has been up since February 2017. Quality of information has dropped: recent entries are mostly one or two lines (\"Nice app and perfect support from the team!\", 0857), where 2019–2022 reviews described concrete setups. What is genuinely new is tenure: four of the last twelve months' reviewers are 4–6 years in (6956, 6288, 6637, 5623), which is the strongest available evidence that the thing keeps running. No new failure themes appeared; the only substantive criticism in the recent set is a non-technical owner needing repeated help to understand an inherited configuration (3103, January 2026). The two breakage reports are from 2019 and 2020 and have not recurred in the reviews since — but at this review volume that is weak evidence, not a clean bill of health.
