If you want to transfer a large amount of product information between Shopify and another system, then you can use a specially-formatted spreadsheet to import or export that data. Shopify uses CSV (comma-separated value) files to perform this kind of bulk task.
If you're transferring information from Oberlo, then see Dropshipping with Oberlo instead.
