How to Export Shopify Products to PDF

Sometimes you need your products out of the store and into a file — a PDF you can email to a buyer, attach to a quote, or print for a trade show. Shopify doesn't have a one-click "export to PDF" button for a nice document, so here's how to get one without rebuilding your catalogue by hand.

Why PDF specifically

• It travels well. Anyone can open a PDF — no Shopify account, no login.
• It looks finished. Unlike a raw CSV, a PDF can carry your logo, layout, and branding.
• It's a snapshot. Useful for quotes and line sheets where you want a fixed version on a given date.

How to export your products

1. Choose the products. Pick the collection or selection you want in the document — rarely your whole catalogue.
2. Decide the columns. Title, variant/SKU, price, and an image are the usual set; add RRP or wholesale price for trade documents.
3. Generate from live data. Pull straight from Shopify so the PDF reflects current prices and products, not a stale copy.
4. Brand it. Add your logo and a cover so it looks like a catalogue, not a database dump.

What to include (and leave out)

Include what the reader needs to make a decision: clear images, names, prices, and how to order. Leave out internal data — cost prices, supplier notes, and anything you wouldn't want a competitor to see if the file gets forwarded. A clean, on-brand PDF does more for you than a cluttered one.
