Managing data effectively is crucial for any successful eCommerce operation. Whether you’re launching a new store, switching platforms, or reorganizing internal systems, having a reliable way to export and import your data is essential.

StoreEngine simplifies this process with its powerful CSV Export/Import capabilities. With just a few clicks, you can export and import:

1. Customers
2. Products
3. Orders
4. Access Groups (Memberships)
5. Subscriptions

Additionally, if you’re migrating from Restrict Content Pro (RCP), StoreEngine provides a seamless transition. You can export your RCP data—like Membership Levels, Payments, Customers, and Memberships—and import them directly into StoreEngine with proper mapping and structure.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through each step to help you utilize the Export/Import tools like a pro—whether you’re starting fresh or moving from RCP.
