1. Exporting Products

Exporting bookable products allows you to share the booking details with another site/person. Exporting products mostly come in handy when you want to move the booking details to another app, staging site or when you need to explain an issue & get help from our support team.

Go to Products > All Products and select the Export button:

You can choose specific columns, product types, categories, and custom meta to export. For instance, if you wish to export only Boat Tour and Bookings, from your bookings site, you can select those two bookable products alone and export them.

You can choose to export all custom metadata then you can tick the checkbox for it. This setting is optional.

Once done, go ahead by clicking the ‘Generate CSV’ button:

Here, you need to upload the .csv or .txt files that have the bookable products you wish to import. You can choose to update the booking settings for existing products by ticking the checkbox for ‘Update existing products’ setting. If you choose to go with this, please note that new products which do not exist will not be imported.

Once the file has been uploaded, you should click on the ‘Continue’ button:
