Exporting products

You can export your products to a .csv file if you want to create a backup, move your existing products to a new StoreHippo store, or edit your products in bulk using a spreadsheet. After exporting and making changes to the products in your product .csv file, you import your product .csv file into your StoreHippo admin.

Go to Products > Products Section in StoreHippo Admin Panel to export your products. Click the ellipses button in the page header and choose the 'export' option. The dialogue window with the following fields will appear:

•   Use Current Filter: These are the filter(s) that are currently applied by the user. For example, click on the published tab and search for a product with product name "polo".

  Now, if we click on Export button, filter for published products will be auto-populated in current filters.
