CatalogGuard draws a hard line around Shopify restores
CatalogGuard describes nightly and on-demand snapshots of Shopify product catalogs, with change tracking and previewable restoration.
- For
- Shopify merchants protecting product catalog changes
- Worth noticing
- It says deleted products and variants return with new IDs; order-history links and old IDs cannot be restored.
Field notes
The described snapshots cover products, variants, collections, metafields, image references, and inventory quantities, while explicitly excluding themes, navigation, orders, customers, discounts, and files. The restore workflow distinguishes safe mode from force mode and says it checks each write, snapshots the restoration itself, and can undo it. Recreated deleted products and variants receive new IDs, and the page calls out that old IDs and order-history links do not return.
