myShop Orders
myShop orders are deleted when a school year closes — the store starts the new year empty. This export is the permanent record of what was sold.
Three things are saved:
| What | File | Where on the page |
|---|---|---|
| The orders | myshop_orders_export.csv |
The myShop Orders card |
| The products on each order | myshop_order_items_export.csv |
Under Other Files |
| A receipt per online order | myshop_receipts/myshop_order_<number>.html |

Reading it¶
user is empty for guest checkouts. Anyone can buy from your store without an account.
Blank tx_details means the order wasn't paid online — cash and check sales taken at the
Point of Sale, mostly. Those orders have no saved receipt file either.
Needs Review means the payment went through but a check afterwards didn't. Whatever went
wrong is described in notes. Those orders need reconciling against your processor.
Discounts aren't broken out in this file. amount_paid is what was actually taken. Promo
code detail sits with the order in myShop while the year is open — capture it from the
myShop dashboard exports before you close out if you need it.
The order items file¶
Under Other Files, myshop_order_items_export.csv lists the individual products bought.
It is download-only — there's no preview.
| Column | What it holds |
|---|---|
id |
The line item's ID |
product_id |
Which product was bought |
quantity |
How many |
price |
The price paid per item |
user_id |
The account that bought it, if the shopper was signed in |
item_options |
The size, colour or other option chosen |
Product names aren't in this file
Line items record product_id, and products themselves aren't exported. The
saved receipts name every product in plain English, and are the better
place to look up what an order actually contained.
The saved receipts¶
myshop_receipts/ holds one HTML file per online order, named
myshop_order_<order number>.html. Each is the receipt the buyer received: products, options,
quantities, prices and the total.
Download one from Other Files and open it in any browser. Use Print → Save as PDF to keep a PDF copy — handy when a buyer asks for a receipt for an order from a previous year.
Orders paid in cash or by check at the Point of Sale have no receipt file.
