Export and Import¶

Exporting Bulk Items¶

You might need to export the necessary information and download it as a .csv file to reuse it in the third-party systems. You can export customer data (accounts, contacts, customers, customer users, business customers), sales data (leads, opportunities, prices in the price list, products), taxes (rates, rules), warehouse, and inventory information (inventory levels and statuses).

Another scenario for using export is when you plan bulk data update that is easily automated in the spreadsheet software (e.g. raise the price by 20%).

To export the necessary records (e.g. customer information) in a .csv format:

1. In the main menu, navigate to menu item to import the list of the necessary data (e.g. Customers > Customers).

   The following screen opens.

   

2. Select the items to export using check boxes at the beginning of the corresponding rows. You can filter the list in the table header, if necessary.

2. Click Export.

   After the following notification, you will receive an email with the link to download the .csv file.

   

3. Open the email and click the Download link.

   The file is automatically downloaded.
