Tips

Column Order

Column order in the grid matches the order in Shopify's product schema. To reorder columns in the grid, drag column headers directly in the grid view.

Performance

  • Fewer columns = faster grid loading
  • Hide columns you don't need
  • Description column can slow large grids

Per-Store Settings

Column settings are saved separately for each connected store, so you can have different views for different stores.
