When Shopify switch to cursor based pagination we needed an easy way to connect our Power BI reports to Shopify and this app helped us do that. Easy to use and the data layer user interface makes sense. Developer keeps it up to date with Shopify API changes. Be aware that this app has a scheduler for refreshing the data sources so just because you refresh the Power BI report doesn't mean the data source refreshed, but I can't fault the developer for that.

App works great. Be nice if there was additional documentation to help determine what fields i should pull in for orders though. Pulling in all of them can cause performance issues for large datasets. Once I narrowed it down everything worked well.
