App Setup
Tutorial

Find Klyx Store Backup on the Shopify App Store and click "Install". The app is fully embedded inside Shopify Admin — no separate login or dashboard to manage.

You'll be redirected through Shopify's secure OAuth flow. Approve the requested permissions — these allow the app to read your store data for backup and write it back during a restore. No third-party credentials are required from you.

That's it. Your first full backup fires automatically right after install — covering all 10 resource types. From this point on, a daily backup runs every night at midnight UTC with zero action required from you.

Quick stats panel — shows your last backup date and status, total items backed up, storage used, and how many backups are available in your history. Turns green on success, red if a backup ever fails.

"Backup Now" button — triggers a full on-demand backup immediately, outside of the automated schedule. Useful right before a major theme edit, a new app install, or a bulk product import.

Large-change alert banner — if a backup detects that 50 or more items disappeared compared to the previous snapshot, a warning banner appears here automatically. This protects you from silent bulk deletions going unnoticed.

Each backup card shows the date and time, what triggered it (scheduled cron, manual, or webhook), the number of items captured, the backup size, and the final status (completed, failed, or running).

Use the filter bar at the top to narrow by resource type (e.g. only show backups that captured products), date range, or trigger type. Pagination keeps the list fast even with hundreds of backups.

Click any backup to open its detail view — a full activity log showing every single item that was captured, with per-item restore buttons and any errors or warnings encountered during that run.

Open any backup from your history and click "Restore". You'll be presented with three scope options: Full Store (restores everything), Resource Type (e.g. restore only your themes), or Single Item (one specific product, page, or theme file).

Preview before you commit. The restore preview screen shows you exactly how many items will be created, updated, or skipped — before you confirm. Nothing changes in your live store until you click the final confirm button.

Choose your conflict strategy — what the app should do if an item already exists in your store when the restore runs.

Click "Confirm Restore". The restore job runs in the background and you can track live progress on screen. You'll also receive an email notification when it completes.

From any backup's detail page, click "Compare with another backup". Select the second backup you want to compare against — this can be any backup in your history.

The diff viewer opens with a side-by-side view. Each resource type is grouped, and individual items show only the fields that changed — not the entire object — so you can spot the difference instantly.

Use the diff to audit changes before a restore — for example, confirm that only the intended products changed, or identify which theme file was edited that broke your storefront.

In Settings, click "Connect Google Drive". You'll be redirected through Google's secure OAuth flow. Approve the Drive permission — the app only gets write access to files it creates itself.

Manual export: From any backup's detail page, click "Export to Google Drive". The backup snapshot is uploaded as a JSON file into a KLYX Store Backups folder in your Drive — instantly accessible and shareable.

Auto export: Enable "Auto-export to Google Drive" in Settings. Every completed backup is automatically pushed to your Drive — no manual action needed. Perfect for regulatory compliance or peace of mind.

Go to Restore → Cross-Store. Click "Connect a Store" and enter the target store's .myshopify.com domain. You'll go through Shopify's OAuth flow for that store to authorise the connection.

Once connected, select any backup from your source store's history and click "Restore to [target store]". Choose your scope and conflict strategy exactly as you would for a normal restore.

The restore runs against the target store. The source store's data is untouched. Cross-store connections can be disconnected at any time from the same view.
