Import / Export Data Files - Selection

This page allows you to import and export departments, categories, sub-categories, and products through tab-delimited text files.


EXPORT DATA
Press the EXPORT button below to create a series of tab-delimited text files that can be downloaded to your computer. The export files can then be modified and used for "importing data" back into your store.

IMPORT DATA
Import File to Process:
Once you have selected or entered the proper import file name to process, click the IMPORT DATA button. Depending on the size of the import file, this process may take a few minutes. Therefore, please be patient and allow this process to finish. Only press the IMPORT DATA button one time! NOTE: the store will process the import file by its EXACT file name and therefore, it must be called: "departments.txt", "categories.txt", "subcategories.txt", "products.txt", or "productoptions.txt". CAUTION - make sure you have a complete store backup BEFORE performing this function. The very nature of this feature provides for very little in the form of error checking. Therefore, be extremely careful when importing data into your store. Failure to carefully construct data within an import file may result in your store malfunctioning or not working at all. Use the import features at your own risk!
