Export data feeds
Add and manage exports to send your product data to the relevant channels via Productsup.
Introduction
The Exports feature in Productsup lets you add and set up new exports, view the list of added exports, track your export history, and check the number of exported products.
Note
With the new release, the Exports A/B page changed its name to Exports.
The Exports page consists of two (2) tabs:
 |
Overview – Use this tab to view and manage all exports.
Note
The new release of the Overview tab doesn't group exports by type as it did before. This lets you sort the export list by any column.
Export history – Use this tab to view the history of exports and delta file changes.
