export settings

Hi,

Unfortunately, the plugin doesn’t have a way to export shipping rules to CSV.

Hi Dan,

I was looking for a solution to export/import WBS datas, after reading lot of similar old tickets and i finally reached this topic.

One question raise in my brain, after so many time, and so many request, why haven’t you not yet developed this feature ? It looks to be very useful for many

Do you think it could be done in near future ?

Hi @geco06,

Sure, it would be a handy feature.

However, while the export part is easy to do, the import part is not. Besides shipping zones, methods, and rules, there is meta-data bound to products (such as shipping classes) used for shipping. A good import routine should somehow establish relations between the entities already existing in the system and the ones presented in the data we are going to import.

For example, what is the expected state after syncing (i.e., export, then import) a website A to a website B:

website A (state before export):
Shipping zone 1 — Name: “EU”, Locations: “UK – Avon”, Id: #1
— Shipping method 1 — Name: “weight-based shipping”, Type: WBS, Id: #10

website B (state before import):
Shipping zone 1 — Name: “EU”, Locations: “UK”, Id: #13
— Shipping method 1 — Name: “Flat Rate”, Type: built-in Flat Rate, Id: #10

I agree the problem with export/import from website A to B but if there is possible to export the settings to a csv file to update prices and import in the same site it would help to save a lot of time and also it is a good table to get a overview of all settings/prices
