Backstep: backup and undo for Shopify stores
Backstep keeps a daily backup of a Shopify store and records every change in batches that can be previewed and rolled back, whether the change came from an app, an import or an AI tool. It is on the Shopify App Store and free during the beta.

What it does
- Daily backup of products, variants, images (Backstep keeps its own copy), collections and pages. Theme files are tracked too.
- Change batches with undo. Every change is grouped, previewed and can be rolled back.
- Safe AI sessions. Changes made while an AI tool works on the store are grouped in one session that can be undone together.
- Restore deleted products with their images.
- A monthly restore test that rebuilds a hidden draft to show the backup really restores.
What it does not cover
Orders, customers, inventory, metafields, menus, blogs and discounts are not backed up. We state this on the listing so merchants know before they rely on it.
Engineering notes
Webhooks and batching
Store changes arrive as webhooks. Backstep groups them into batches a merchant can understand, instead of a raw log of every field.
Restore you can trust
A backup that has never been restored is a guess. The monthly test restore into a hidden draft turns it into evidence.
