You are able to Export your customer data using CSV (Comma-Separated Values) or Excel spreadsheet files.

When exporting data, you can choose to either export your entire customer database, or you can filter your customer list using a saved custom search, and then export just the customers selected by the filters.

You can also Import new customers into your store using a CSV file.

This feature gives you the ability to perform a bulk import of customer records into your store, which is useful if you want to migrate an existing customer database from a previous system. It is also useful if you want to import the customer data that you have collected from other marketing efforts such as trade shows or email campaigns.

Exporting Customers

Select the Export all products link on the Products page to download a CSV file containing all of the products in your online store. This file can be used as a backup for your product data, or as a template which you can modify to create an update CSV file to modify your product data.

Please refer to the following section on Importing Products for details on the format of the CSV file.
