Querying Shopify Data in Postgres

Shopify is a SaaS company that simplifies the process of setting up and running an online business. Businesses that use Shopify have access to important information about their products, orders, customers, and more within Shopify. In most cases, businesses will want to extract this data and combine it with other data into a central database. In this article, we will be discussing how to migrate data from Shopify to Postgres.

The command will create the database within seconds.

Once the app has been created, click “Resources”. Search for “Postgres”

With Heroku’s free plan, you can’t fully extract enough rows, so choose “Hobby Basic ($9/month)”.

Open your dashboard by clicking Heroku Postgres in your addons list. Click the “Settings” tab and then choose “View Credentials”. You will be asked for those credentials later.

Stitchdata will then begin to extract your Shopify data and load it into Postgres. The process will take less than an hour.

As Stitchdata loads the data, you can take time to explore its structure. There are different SQL client tools that you can use for this,

Download the right SQL client tool and add your Heroku database to it. You can then use the SQL’s “SELECT *” statement to query the tables created in your database. For example, the following SQL query shows the orders issued by customers:

The statement will return the data added to the orders table of the shopify database.

For example, let us create a bar chart that shows the number of items ordered by different clients.

First, let us write a SQL query to fetch order names and the corresponding number of items for each order:

The query will return a table similar to this:

To generate a bar chart from this data, click the “Chart” button next to the “Table” button. Next, click the “Select chart type” drop down button on the right and choose “Bar Chart”.

You will see a section written “DRAG COLUMNS HERE” at the bottom right corner of the Arctype screen.

Drag one of the columns to the x-axis and the other one to the y-axis. A bar chart will be generated as shown below:

To change the type of chart generated, click the drop-down button for “Select chart type” and select the type of chart you want.

The Shopify platform makes it easy for individuals to set up and run online businesses. When running a Shopify business, your store will generate a lot of data. You will want to extract this data and combine it with your other data into a central database to make meaningful decisions about your business. You can use an ETL tool such as Stitchdata to extract your Shopify data and load it to a database of choice such as Postgres. You can then use tools like Arctype to query the data and create visualizations from it.
