StoreInspect for Excel brings Shopify company and contact intelligence into Microsoft Excel. The add-in is available on paid StoreInspect plans.
The add-in is being prepared for Microsoft Marketplace review. Until the public listing is available, installation is limited to sideloaded test accounts.

​
Connect StoreInspect

  1. Open StoreInspect from the Home ribbon in Excel.
  2. Click Connect account in the task pane.
  3. Sign in to StoreInspect and approve the requested access.
  4. Return to Excel after the authorization window closes.
The add-in uses StoreInspect OAuth with PKCE. You do not need to create or paste an API key.

​
Search Shopify stores

  1. Open the Stores tab.
  2. Add at least one filter, such as country, category, traffic tier, estimated revenue tier, Shopify Plus, technology, or contact availability.
  3. Choose the number of rows.
  4. Click Find Shopify stores.
Results are written to a new StoreInspect worksheet and Excel table. If another page is available, click Load more to append it to the same table.

​
Search contacts

Use the Contacts tab to find masked decision-maker previews by role, seniority, store domain, country, or channel availability. Contact previews include StoreInspect contact IDs and availability signals. They do not expose private email addresses, phone numbers, or profile URLs until you explicitly reveal the contacts.

​
Enrich selected domains

  1. Select up to 25 cells containing store domains or URLs.
  2. Open Selected cells in the task pane.
  3. Choose whether to include masked contact previews.
  4. Click Enrich selected domains.
The add-in creates a new StoreInspect table containing the input status, store profile, traffic and revenue tiers, Shopify Plus status, technologies, lead fit score, and contact availability.

​
Reveal selected contacts

  1. Select up to 10 cells containing StoreInspect contact IDs.
  2. Click Review contact reveal.
  3. Review the number of contacts and potential credit use.
  4. Click Confirm reveal.
New contact reveals use StoreInspect contact credits. Contacts already revealed for your account do not spend another credit. Revealed data is written to a new StoreInspect table.

​
Workbook access

The add-in requests read and write access to the current workbook so it can:
  • read cells that you explicitly select;
  • create new StoreInspect worksheets and tables;
  • append another page to the StoreInspect table created for that search.
It does not request Microsoft Graph, OneDrive, mailbox, contacts, or access to other workbooks. StoreInspect OAuth tokens are stored in the task pane’s StoreInspect origin storage and are never written to the workbook.

​
Data safety

  • Returned text that could execute as a spreadsheet formula is written as text.
  • Contact previews remain masked until an explicit credit confirmation.
  • Search and reveal output is isolated in StoreInspect-owned tables.
  • Revealed contact channels should be treated as sensitive business data.

​
Disconnect

Click Disconnect in the StoreInspect task pane. The add-in removes its local OAuth tokens and attempts to revoke them with StoreInspect. Existing workbook data remains unchanged.

​
Troubleshooting

  • StoreInspect command missing: Confirm the add-in is installed, then reopen the workbook.
  • Connection expired: Connect the StoreInspect account again.
  • No positive filter: Add at least one store or contact filter.
  • Selection not recognized: Select domain cells or StoreInspect contact ID cells in the current workbook.
  • Rate limit reached: Wait briefly before running the next request.
  • Insufficient credits: Add credits or change the StoreInspect plan before revealing new contacts.
Include the StoreInspect request ID shown by an error when contacting support.
