Whether you’re launching a new collection or refreshing existing product images, you can send assets to multiple Shopify products in one export.
Dash uses the products and variants linked to your assets through the Products field to place them with the correct Shopify products.
Why it’s useful
Save time - send assets to multiple Shopify products in one export
Match assets to the right products - use your Products field links to place assets with the correct Shopify products
Review before publishing - check product matches and remove images you no longer need
Control your product presentation - arrange new and existing images in the order you want them to appear in Shopify
Before you start
Make sure the user exporting assets has access to Products in Shopify, with permission to create, edit and delete products
Link your assets to Shopify products or variants through the Products field if you want to add them to product listings
You can also export assets without product links. These are added to Shopify’s Files area.
ℹ️ Note: Dash exports to your primary Shopify store only. Check which store is set as primary in Admin > Integrations.
Export assets to Shopify
Step 1 - select your assets
Go to All assets or Browse
Select the assets you want to export using their checkboxes. You can select multiple assets
Click Share at the top of the page
Click Export to Shopify
Choose the preset size you want to use for the export
ℹ️ Note: Export to Shopify is available when you select assets in All assets or Browse, rather than when you open an individual asset. To export a single asset, select its checkbox in the grid.
If you haven’t connected Shopify yet, you’ll be prompted to set up the integration. Follow our installation guide to get started.
Step 2 - review your export
Check which products will receive your assets and how the images will appear alongside existing Shopify media.
ℹ️ Note: Each export can match up to 250 Shopify products at a time. If you need to update more products, split them across separate exports.
Check the matched products
Dash groups assets with the Shopify products that they are linked to via the Products field.
Assets without a product link appear separately. For these unlinked assets, you can:
Click Add product... to choose a product
Leave them unlinked to export them to Shopify’s Files area
ℹ️ Note: Assets linked to specific variants are exported to the parent product’s media gallery. They are not automatically assigned as images for those individual variants.
Arrange your product images
Before exporting, you can:
Remove selected assets you don’t want to export
Drag and drop images to set their order for each product
Review existing Shopify images alongside the assets you’re adding
The image order you set is applied to the corresponding product in Shopify.
Remove existing Shopify images
You can also remove existing images from a product listing while reviewing your export.
Hover over an existing Shopify image and click X
Check the removal summary beside Export x assets to Shopify at the bottom of the screen
If you change your mind, click Undo before exporting.
The removal takes effect when you complete the export in Step 3 (below). The removed image will remain in Shopify’s Files area and on any other products it is still linked to.
Add more assets
To include more assets, click Continue adding assets in the top left. You’ll return to Dash, where you can select more assets and repeat Step 1 (above).
To return to your export review, click the banner at the top of the screen.
Step 3 - complete the export
⚠️ Warning: If a product is live, your exported assets will be published immediately. Any existing product images you marked for removal will also be removed from that listing.
Once you’ve checked and are happy with the product matches, image order and any removals, click Export x assets to Shopify. The button shows the number of assets you’re exporting.
Dash uploads the assets in the background and displays the export’s progress. You can safely close Dash while the export continues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there file type or size limits?
Dash’s Shopify export supports:
Images and videos up to 20 MB per file
Matches to up to 250 Shopify products per export
Files must also meet Shopify’s file requirements.
Can I export an asset as a specific variant’s image?
No. Assets linked to a variant are exported to the parent product’s media gallery. To assign an image to a specific variant, make that change directly in Shopify.
If you’d like to do this from Dash, let us know your feedback through the in-app chat.
Can I export assets to multiple Shopify stores?
You can export from Dash to your primary Shopify store only. The Products field uses that store’s catalogue.
You can connect additional stores and insert Dash assets while working within those stores in Shopify.
Will uploading a new version in Dash update the asset in Shopify?
No. Export the updated asset again, then remove the previous copy from the product listing if you no longer need it.
What happens if I export the same asset twice?
Each export creates a new copy in Shopify. Previously exported copies are not overwritten.
Review the existing product images before exporting and remove any copies you no longer want on the listing.
