Retrace: A Smarter Shopify Backup & Restore Platform for Your Store

Running a Shopify store means making changes every day. Products get updated, Themes are edited, Pages change, Collections are reorganised, Menus are updated. Most changes go exactly as planned, but what happens when one doesn’t?

Maybe an important product update was overwritten, or a page was changed by mistake. A theme edit didn’t work as expected, or you need an earlier version of your store data. Rolling everything back because of one unwanted change isn’t always what you want. That’s exactly the problem Retrace solves.

Meet Retrace Store Backup & Restore for Shopify

Retrace is a secure Shopify backup and restore platform developed by Kayease.

It helps merchants protect critical store data through automated, scheduled, and on-demand backups, while giving them more control over what they restore. Instead of thinking about backups only after something goes wrong, Retrace helps make backup and recovery part of everyday store management. And we’re excited to share an important milestone:

Retrace is now approved and listed on the Shopify App Store.

Made a Mistake? Undo the Change, Not Your Entire Store

Imagine updating a product and later realising that you need the previous version. You don't necessarily want to roll your entire Shopify store back. You only want to fix that one change. Retrace allows merchants to undo an individual change without rolling back the rest of the store. That means recovery can be more precise, giving merchants greater control over what gets restored.

See Exactly What Changed

Sometimes the difficult part isn't restoring data.

It's figuring out:

What actually changed?

Retrace provides version history, allowing you to see changes made to important areas of your Shopify store, including:

1. Products
2. Themes
3. Pages
4. Menus

Instead of guessing what happened, you can review previous changes and decide what needs attention.

Preview Before You Restore

Restoring data shouldn't mean taking another blind risk. Retrace provides a before-and-after comparison before a restore is performed. You can review the difference first and then decide whether you want to proceed.

See the change → Compare versions → Restore with confidence.

Restore the Data You Actually Need

Sometimes you may need to recover more than one individual change. Retrace supports restoring Shopify store content from previous backups, including:

Products • Collections • Pages • Blogs • Menus

This gives merchants flexibility to recover important store information without treating every recovery situation the same way.

Automated, Scheduled & On-Demand Backups

A backup system shouldn't depend on someone remembering to create a backup manually. Retrace supports: Automated backups for ongoing protection, scheduled backups according to your backup routine, and on-demand backups when you want to create one manually.

Retrace can also save product changes within seconds, helping maintain a more detailed history as product information changes.

Centralised Backup Management

As a Shopify store grows, managing backup information can become another task on an already long list. Retrace provides centralised backup management, helping merchants manage their backups and recovery activity from one place.

The objective is simple:

Make Shopify backup and recovery easier to understand, manage, and control.

Secure Storage for Critical Store Data

Store data is business data. That's why Retrace is designed with secure backup storage as part of the platform. Combined with version history, selective recovery, and backup management, this gives Shopify merchants a structured way to protect important store information and recover it when necessary.

Why We Built Retrace at Kayease

At Kayease, we believe useful software starts with a real business problem. For Retrace, that problem was simple:

Why should one unwanted Shopify change create a much bigger problem?

We wanted to build a solution that gives merchants more visibility into what changed and more control over what they recover. That idea became Retrace.

And with Retrace now approved and listed on the Shopify App Store, we've reached an important milestone in that journey.

Back Up. Compare. Restore. Retrace.

Your Shopify store keeps changing. Your backup system should be ready when one of those changes doesn't go as planned. With automated backups, version history, selective restore, before-and-after previews, secure storage, and centralised backup management, Retrace is designed to help Shopify merchants protect and recover critical store data with greater control.
