This is my first attempt at exporting product information for re-importing. Are there any snags that I should be aware of, when I export the data I have selected?

Hi Oneclick - None really, just follow the documented process and all should be peachy. I normally only export the required fields and those I plan to update - for the sake of simplicity & speed.

Oops - forgot to say... I'm presuming you will be using the "Export for Re-Import" wizard from the custom data reports page.

Hi Oneclick,

There is one thing worth noting thats easy to miss in the guide.

When using the export/import feature productcart uses the SKU to match. If there is no existing exact product match you need 3 required fields. Name, Description and online price.

I only mention this because it tripped me up when I first used the feature.

It is a great time saver!
