This process allows you to make bulk changes to your customer information. For instance, if you have a list of names or email addresses that you need to change or perhaps you want to change the marketing preferences for lots of customers.<\/p>\n<p>Using a CSV file is much easier to complete this project in bulk. You can download the entire list of customers, make the changes and re-upload the list. The changes will then be applied for you.<\/p>\n<p>A CSV file might also be a good way to look for trends in customer acquisition. For instance, are you attracting customers from a specific area of a country or the world? Are your customers more likely to be male, or more likely to live in apartments? This data can be vital in marketing efforts later on.<\/p>\n<p>With Shopify, this process is very easy to complete. Here are the instructions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-takeaways\"><div class=\"takeaways-title h2\">Key Takeaways<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">1<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Log into Shopify, navigate to \u2018Customers\u2019 in the admin area to start the export process.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">2<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Choose to export all customers, selected ones, or a current search, then select the CSV format.<\/div><\/div><div class=\"takeaway-item\"><div class=\"takeaway-number\">3<\/div><div class=\"takeaway-text\">Confirm export to receive a CSV file of customer data, compatible with spreadsheet programs.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"row1\">Step 1: Log in<\/h2>\n<p>The first step is to log into your Shopify store.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row2\">Step 2: Customers<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019re logged in you\u2019ll be on the front page of the admin area. You can take a look at the menu on the left-hand side of the screen for the option that reads \u2018Customers\u2019. Click on this option.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row3\">Step 3: Export<\/h2>\n<p>A list of all your customers will appear on the screen. You will also have an option that appears right below the page\u2019s title (Customers) that has the words \u2018Export\u2019 on it. Click on this button.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row4\">Step 4: Select Export Option<\/h2>\n<p>The \u2018Export Customers\u2019 dialogue will appear right after you click on the button that reads \u2018Export\u2019. In this dialog box, you need to select what customer data you would like to export. There are some options that you would need to consider. This includes how many customers you export, this could be the entire page, selected customers or a current search that you\u2019ve run.<\/p>\n<p>For the selected customers and current search, you must have already performed these actions on your website before selecting \u2018Export\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row5\">Step 5: Choose Format<\/h2>\n<p>Now you can choose a format for which the export will be done. There are different options. You can choose CSV for Excel, Numbers, and other spreadsheet programs. This is a great option if you\u2019re going to be using a spreadsheet to read and edit the data. You can also choose Plain CSV if you\u2019re going to use a plain-text editor to open the data.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever format you choose, ensure that you have the right third-party program to read the information afterward.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"row6\">Step 6: Confirm<\/h2>\n<p>After you\u2019ve selected the details of the export, click on the \u2018Export Customers\u2019 to confirm that you would like this task to complete. Then you will receive a download onto your computer\u2019s download file with the export.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is very important to know how to export your existing customers to a CSV file on Shopify.
