Initializing Experience
Retrace is a secure Shopify backup and restore platform with automated, scheduled, and on-demand backups, version history, and selective restore — so you can recover your store data quickly and confidently.
Backup history
your-store.myshopify.com
Product updated
Today, 10:24 · Saved in seconds
Bulk price edit
Yesterday, 18:42 · Preview before & after
On-demand backup
Yesterday, 14:10 · Before theme update
Scheduled backup
Yesterday, 02:00 · Products, pages & menus
A product or collection deleted by mistake
A bulk edit that overwrote the wrong products
A theme update that broke the storefront
A page, blog or menu changed and lost
A full rollback that wipes out good changes too
Shopify keeps the platform running — but your store data is your responsibility. Without a backup, recovering means rebuilding by hand. And a full rollback throws away every good change along with the bad one.
Retrace gives your store a safety net.
Most backups can only put your whole store back the way it was. Retrace lets you undo a single change, shows you a before-and-after preview first, and leaves the rest of your store untouched.
Free to install. Backups run automatically, with on-demand backups whenever you need them.

Backups that run without you
Everything you need — in one app
The data that took years to build — tracked, backed up, and restorable when you need it.
Changes saved within seconds, with a history you can step back through
Restore collections from any past backup
See what changed on a page and put the previous version back

See what changed in your themes after an edit or update
Add Retrace from the Shopify App Store — it's free to install. Backups start without any setup.
Scheduled backups run automatically, product changes are saved in seconds, and you can back up on demand anytime.
Pick the change you want to undo, check the before-and-after comparison, and restore only that — nothing else moves.
Fix the one thing that broke — leave the rest of your store alone.
A spreadsheet is a snapshot. Retrace is a safety net.

Careful Recoveries
Preview a before-and-after comparison so you know exactly what will be restored.
Most days you'll forget Retrace is there. On the day something breaks, it's the only app that matters.
Retrace connects through Shopify's official APIs, keeps your backups in secure storage, and never restores anything until you've previewed the change and confirmed it.
Retrace restores products, collections, pages, blogs and menus from a past backup.
The best time to set up a backup is before something breaks. The second best time is now.
