How to Export Products from Squarespace Commerce
Learn the essentials of exporting product data as a .csv file on Squarespace.
TL;DR: Key Points
- Export product data to a .csv file for backup, bulk editing, or moving to other platforms
- Works for physical and service products, but not downloadable products
- You'll need to adjust .csv formatting for third-party services
- Limited to 10,000 products and three variant options per product
- Re-importing back to Squarespace works for bulk editing or site migration
Why Export Your Products?
Squarespace Commerce lets you export your product data into a .csv file. This is useful when you need to:
- Back up your inventory
- Edit product details in bulk
- Transfer products to another platform
- Move products to a different Squarespace site
What You Need to Know First
Third-party services usually want their own specific format. You'll likely need to adjust the .csv file to match their requirements. The export format includes an extra column for pages that you won't need when re-importing to Squarespace.
Export Limitations
The export feature is solid, but there are some restrictions:
- Downloadable products can't be exported
- Products are limited to three variant options (size, colour, material)
- Categories and tags are included, but specific image data might be lost
- Maximum of 10,000 products can be exported
How to Export Your Products
- Go to the Products & Services panel and click "Products"
- To export everything: click "Export all"
- To export specific products: select them first, then click "Export selected" in the bottom-right corner
Re-importing Products
You can bring the .csv file back into the same Squarespace site or a different one. If you're moving print-on-demand products, you'll need to reconnect any fulfilment service links manually (these don't transfer over).
Import Limits by Version
- Version 7.1: up to 10,000 products
- Version 7.0: up to 200 products per store page
Getting Your .csv Ready
The .csv format you need depends on where you're importing and which Squarespace version you're using. Check Squarespace's guide on importing products from a .csv for the detailed formatting requirements.
Pro tip: Always download and check Squarespace's example .csv file first. This ensures your data matches their template and prevents errors during export and import.
