Improved E-commerce Product Import and Export

I just did my first product export and I noticed that custom fields don't import or export, this is documented in your e-commerce support but having it is pretty important to my client.

Also if a product already exists, even if it has a SKU an import can't be used to update details, this is pretty standard e-commerce functionality, please consider it.

    Hi All, I found a workaround, as I had 600+ Products with Custom fields to export, which had a lot of content. This worked perfectly, export through the Webflow API to Google Sheets, just keep in mind the API limits, you have to export in batches of around 50 products at a time, but was quite quick and easy to do. If you have more than 100 products, you'll need to use the pagination feature on their program, which requires a pro membership but it works great. Links below, enjoy.

    Come on webflow - this can't be that hard to fix

    If a company is selling a service that includes ecommerce implementation, the ability to Import, Update, Delete all assets necessary is a bare minimum. Waiting years for this feature, let alone more than 3 years is simply insulting. Please, do something!!!

    Same here, much requested features. This is so annoying when you have more than 1K products. I tried exporting using Integromat and it costed me 70$, but then realised that there were couple of issues with some custom fields and had to pay again the same amount. Webflow, please do something.

    Reading through the comments here. These folks are right. Import, Update, Delete are pretty necessary for managing product feeds. And 3 years with no improvement is pretty sad.

    Ecomm is totally unusable without this ability. I'll have to take a hard pass and find a better platform.

    It's unbelievable how this simple feature is not available


    I put in so much work in my site design, I'm afraid it will all go to waste shortly if this feature is not available

    This "vote" is on since Feb. 2019 - that's THREE YEARS!

    Hey Webflow, Step it up if you want to stay relevant in the e-com field


    THIS SUCKS

    Exporting custom fields - and the ability to update existing products is an absolute must.

    I agree, this is a vital feature for functional ecommerce. Without it we cannot make changes to items without either losing most of the data, or having to open one item at a time. For anyone with an inventory of several hundred items this is a no go.

    Any update on this at all? Just discovered this when I wanted to do some analysis on my client's products in Webflow... all their data is therefore currently locked in and i can't get to it!

    It seems pretty nonesensical that this is not there by default. Ecom is a no go until this is standard. This is pretty basic stuff

    This greatly impacts our company's ability to track and assess our marketplace! Please update, at least allow custom fields to be exported.

    Yes, this is a no-go at the moment. This functionality is vital to ecommerce!

    For me it's very important that it's possible to export the custom fields!
