Shopify Product Listing by Collection or Collections

Alpha — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 21:25:50 +0000

I have what I think is a reasonable request. I want to automatically bring my Shopify products into Stackby using the API connector. I want each stack to contain all products for one or more collections. Some of my collections are similar items so I want to group them together into one stack. Other collections will have their own stack. I watched the only video I could find on connecting Shopify via a API connector. I really don’t understand the results and why they are setup the way they are. I simple want a list of products by collection. Each row would be a product. I would select what columns to display based upon the API connector. When new products are added in Shopify, I want the API to update the stack and add a new row. Right now everything is backwards to me. All the products are being listed in the same row. I don’t want them all listed in the same row, Do I? As far as I know each stack can have 15,000 rows. I don’t know the capacity of the row for the number of columns, but I would think you would run into issues if too many products are listed in one row. See below. How best to set this up? A Shopify template for this would be helpful, if all I had to do is update my API key and my collection numbers. FYI - I was able to reproduce the results similar to the Shopify video where collections are listed by product handle. I hope there is an automated way to do this, manually copying and pasting from one worksheet to the next makes no sense. This is suppose to make our lives easier. Also The system has been crashing for the last 5 hours. Very difficult to work on:(. Your support and guidance is greatly appreciated! Thank You!

Sudden Removal of Line Breaks in Text Columns – Stackby Update?

Geoziih — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 22:12:16 +0000

Hello,

We have been using Stackby as a database tool for a project for almost a year. During this time, we added several text columns with line breaks and Markdown support. Until a few weeks ago, everything was working perfectly.

However, recently, without any changes on our part, all line breaks were removed. As a result, any modification to a row updates the text and sends it to our application in the new format, without line breaks.

We would like to know:

Was there an update that caused this change?
Is this modification permanent or temporary?
Is there a way to restore our line breaks and prevent the loss of our previous work?

Below, we have attached an image illustrating how the data was received through the API before the change. Previously, line breaks were represented by \n.

Now, after the update, we receive , a formatting character that prevents line breaks.

We appreciate your attention and look forward to your response!

Facing multiple issues w/ the platform

seo84 — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 18:07:28 +0000

Hi guys,

I’m running into multiple issues with Stackby at the moment.

Support chat feature isn’t working. I’ve tried multiple browsers but when I click on send a message, it never loads.
There are occasional missing rows. Does that have to do with filtering or why are certain numbered rows missing?
It won’t let us add collaborators for certain fields. Every time we try and add one we get the following error.

I have images for each error, but it’s only allowing me to add one image file.
