Export product data as an XML file
Overview
Export product and pricing data packaged as an XML file.
Requirements
At least one product needs to have already been configured or imported in the 2Checkout system.
Export limitations
We recommend exporting batches of 20 to 30 products at once for optimal performance.
- Exporting up to 1000 products is done on the spot.
- Exporting more than 1000 products lasts longer and is done in the background. 2Checkout can notify you via email when your export file is ready and provides you with the download link.
How does export work?
Use UTF-8 character encoding.
To export existing product data from the 2Checkout platform:
- Make your way to Products under Setup.
- Run a search for the products you want included in the export file.
- Once your search returns the list of desired products, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Download XML.
How to export all products for an account?
To export existing product data from the 2Checkout platform:
- Make your way to Products under Setup;
- The Active option is selected under Display by default.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Download XML.
Note: All active products for your account are displayed when accessing the Products area. Not searching for specific offerings will export all active items.
What data is exported?
The XML product export functionality covers data under the following areas (tabs), with some exceptions detailed below:
- Information
- Pricing
- Bundle Options
XML schema
Use UTF-8 character encoding.
Below is the XML schema designed to let you export product data from the 2Checkout system. Export is the root element, and there are three main child elements:
- AdditionalFields: The export extracts per-product and per-order additional order details from the 2Checkout system. The relationship between the fields and products is mapped under the Product child element.
- PriceOptionsGroups: The export extracts data on all price options groups defined in the 2Checkout system. The relationship between one or more price options groups and products is mapped under the Product child element.
- Products: Product information (with some exceptions) that resides under the Information, Pricing and Bundle options area (tabs) of the Control Panel.
