Export Products

You can export all of your products, variants, or options, or you can select products by searching and then doing a batch export.  Both export procedures are documented on this page.

Exporting All Products, Variants, or Options

  1. From the Data Exchange page, or from the top-menu, go to Data > Export > Products.

  2. Click the EXPORT ALL PRODUCTS button to begin.  This will expand the screen to allow selection of all product fields or individual ones.  At the top of the section, the number of products ready for export will be indicated.

  3. You can select the Export Type to be either a Standard Product Export, a Product Variants Export, or a Product Options Export.  

    If you choose a Standard export, then you'll have the choice of selecting which fields will be exported, otherwise, the Variant and Options export will not have that option available.  Instead, you will get an export of each variant/option for products that have them.  For example, if a single product had 12 possible variations of options, then a list of 12 records will be exported for the one product.

  4. Below the list of product fields, you can use the Select options to select all product fields, or remove the checkbox for all of them, and select individual ones as needed.

  5. In the optional File Tag field, you can use your own naming conventions for the exported file.

  6. After making your field selections, click the EXPORT PRODUCTS button and wait for the process to complete.

  7. When finished, you can view your product export file as shown in the example below.

  8. In the first column, the file name is shown.  An archived (.zip) file is automatically created for the exported product data.  The second column shows the actual size (in KB) of the product export file.

  9. In the last column, you can click the Download icon to copy the product export file to your local computer.  You can click the Delete icon to remove the file permanently.

    NOTE:

    After a backup, you can find your file in the \App_Data\DataExchange\Download\ folder.

 

Filter and Export Selected Products

  1. From Data > Export > Products page click the FILTER PRODUCTS button, or, you can go directly to the Catalog > Products page.

  2. Use the Manage Products search form to find items for export.

  3. After clicking SEARCH, the results are shown in the grid below.

  4. To export, you must select at least one product by checking a box in the first column.

  5. At the bottom of the search results, you can view the total number or products selected.  

  6. Choose the Export option and click GO.

  7. From the next page, you will be able to select the fields to include in the product export.  If you are exporting product variants, then you will not be able to select these fields.

  8. After making your selections, click the EXPORT PRODUCTS button to continue.

  9. Wait while the export file is created.

  10. In the first column, the file name is shown.  An archived (.zip) file is automatically created for the exported product data.  The second column shows the actual size (in KB) of the product export file.

  11. In the last column, you can click the Download icon to copy the product export file to your local computer.  You can click the Delete icon to remove the file permanently.

    NOTE:

    After a backup, you can find your file in the \App_Data\DataExchange\Download\ folder.
