FAQs

What file format should I choose for the export?

If you plan to edit and analyze your data in a spreadsheet, choose "CSV for Excel, Numbers, or other spreadsheet program." If you need a plain text file, choose "Plain CSV file."

The exported file is missing some product information. Why?

Make sure you've selected the correct export options and that all the necessary fields are included in your CSV template. If you're still experiencing issues, contact Shopify support for assistance.

Can I export product reviews along with my product data?

No, product reviews are not included in the standard product export. You'll need to use a third-party app or export reviews separately if needed.

Can I use the exported CSV file to import my products into another e-commerce platform?

Yes, you can often use the exported CSV file to import products into other platforms, but you might need to adjust the file format or column headers to match the requirements of the target platform.
