Exporter Tool - Feature Guide
The Exporter Tool is a built-in utility designed for portability and backups. Instead of manually recreating stores or products, you can use the Exporter to generate a "snapshot" of your store data. It simply allows you to download and move your store content between different FreshStores or into external formats for mass editing.
Common Uses
- Cloning Stores: Moving a successful store setup to a new domain.
- Bulk Editing: Exporting products to a CSV to update prices or descriptions in Excel or Google Sheets.
- Migration: Moving contents from one FreshStore to another or other similar platforms
- Backups: Creating a manual recovery point for your product database.
Key Features
- Selective Export: Choose to export all products, specific categories, or just Analytics
- CSV Support: Standard format that is compatible with spreadsheet software and other web tools.
- AI Content Retention: If you've used FreshStore's AI to rewrite descriptions, the Exported saves that unique content.
Step-by-Step: How to Export Your Data
Follow these steps to generate your export file.
- Access the Dashboard: Log in to your FreshStore control panel.
- Navigate to Tools: Go to "Store" menu then look for Tools >> Exporter.
- Configure Your Export: Choose data to download.
- Categories
- Products
- Brands
- Articles
- Users
- Analytics
- Generate and Download: Click the Export button. The system will compile the data into a .csv file and prompt you to save it to your computer.
Pro Tip: Before running a large export, ensure your store is not currently running an AI content generation task, or a "Product Refresh". Interrupting these processes can lead to missing data in your export file.
