Matrixify alternative:
Ohavah vs Matrixify

Matrixify, which you might remember as Excelify, is a Shopify app for moving data in and out of your store in bulk using Excel and CSV files. It handles products, collections, customers, orders, discounts, pages, blog posts, redirects, and metafields, and a lot of stores lean on it for migrations, backups, and scheduled imports.

If your data already lives in a spreadsheet, or you're moving a whole catalog between stores, that's exactly what Matrixify is good at. For a boutique, the work it doesn't touch is the step before. You still have to build that spreadsheet yourself, with every product, variant, size, and price laid out the way the template expects.

Ohavah starts from the document your vendor actually sends you. Upload a supplier invoice or purchase order, whether it's a clean PDF or a scanned one, and Ohavah reads it, pulls out each product with its variants, sizes, colors, and prices, writes the descriptions, finds product photos from brand catalogs, and cleans up the images. What comes out is a Shopify-ready file you review and import yourself.

It works with Shopify and Lightspeed R-Series, and applies your markup, rounding, and SKU rules as it goes. When products come in a range of sizes and colors, Ohavah builds them out as proper Shopify variants, so you don't have to. Here's how product variants work in Shopify if you want the details.

The difference comes down to where each tool starts. Matrixify imports a spreadsheet you prepare, while Ohavah starts a step earlier, from the invoice itself, and builds that data for you.

Shopify's built-in assistant, Sidekick, can help with some tasks inside the admin, though it isn't built for turning a vendor invoice into a full product catalog. Store owners who've tried both tell us Ohavah is more accurate and more dependable for that specific job.
