Rewind + Shopify integration

What Rewind is

Rewind Backups is a Shopify app that backs up products, themes, collections, customers and more, and restores a single item or the whole store.

How we would approach Rewind with Shopify

Shopify has no undo for product data, so a bulk import gone wrong or an app that rewrites descriptions can't be reversed without a backup. We install Rewind before any large migration or catalogue change, and test a restore on a few items so you know it works before you need it.

What the work involves

• Backups running before migrations and bulk changes
• A test restore of a product, a collection and a theme file
• A note of what Rewind can't restore for your store
• Theme code also kept in Git, independent of the backup

Ways to connect Rewind and Shopify

• Existing app

  Rewind Backups

  Automatic and on-demand backups of products, themes, collections and customer data, with one-click restores of single items or the whole store.

• Custom build

  Theme in Git

  For theme code, Git is the better history. Use both: Git for code, Rewind for store data.

Where these projects go wrong

• Assuming everything comes back. Images linked by hard-coded URLs aren't attached to products and aren't backed up.
• Restored products may need inventory tracking switched on again and stock recounted.
• Never testing a restore until the day it's needed.

Questions

Does Shopify back up our store?

Shopify keeps the platform running, but it doesn't give you a way to roll back your own product data. That's what a backup app is for.

Is Rewind enough for theme code?

It backs up themes, but Git gives you a reviewable history of every change. We use both.

Before we scope the work

• Which data or customer journey needs to connect, and which system owns it?
• What access, plan features or API permissions are available?
• Does an existing connector cover the requirement, including failures and updates?
• Who will maintain the connection, and how will you know it is working?
