Exporting Amazon Products to a CSV File

Selecting Items for Export

The first step in exporting Amazon products to a CSV file is to select one or more items from your inventory. Ensure that the items you wish to export are highlighted or checked in your product grid.

Accessing Export Options

Once you have selected the items for export, right-click within the grid area to access a list of options. From the context menu that appears, choose the "Export to CSV for other marketplaces (Amazon etc)" option to proceed with the export process.

Customizing Export Columns

To tailor the CSV file to your needs, click on the "Manage Export Views" link. This will allow you to select which columns you want to include in the export. You can add or remove columns to match the requirements of the target marketplace or your own data analysis needs.

Renaming Export Columns

If you wish to change the column names for clarity or to meet specific marketplace requirements, use the "Manage Export Names Mapper" link. Here you can rename columns to ensure that the exported CSV file aligns with your preferences or the expectations of the receiving system.

Setting File Path and Name

Before exporting, you must specify where to save the CSV file. Enter the full directory path and file name in the provided field to ensure that the file is saved in the correct location and is easily identifiable.

Choosing Export Format

Select the format for your exported file by choosing the appropriate options from the available formats. This ensures that the CSV file is compatible with the importing system and meets any format requirements.

Exporting the File

After configuring all the necessary settings, click the "Export" button to initiate the export process. The selected products will be exported to the CSV file in the chosen format, saved to the specified directory path with the file name you provided.
