Export Discounts to CSV

The Export button on the Discounts page downloads your discounts as a CSV file. You choose whether to export the current page or all discounts, and whether to use a spreadsheet-ready CSV or a plain CSV, then download the file for your records or for use outside the admin.

The Discounts page can download your discount data as a CSV file, which is useful for keeping a record, sharing the list with someone who does not use the admin, or reviewing your discounts in a spreadsheet. You start the export from the Export button in the page header, and a dialog lets you choose exactly what to download and in which format before the file is created.

In the dialog you pick the scope, such as the current page or all discounts, and the format, either a CSV made for opening in a spreadsheet or a plain CSV. A short summary confirms how many items and which format you are about to export, so you can check it before you download.

Export options

Choice Options
Export (scope) Current page, All discounts, or the discounts matching your search
Export as (format) CSV for Excel, or Plain CSV
Export summary Confirms the number of items and the chosen format

Before you begin

  • Your role includes Edit discounts.
  • Open Discounts in the admin sidebar, where Export sits in the page header.

Steps

1. Open Discounts and click Export

Open Discounts and click Export in the page header. The Export discounts dialog opens. See Discount Management.

2. Choose what to export and the format

In the dialog, under Export, choose Current page, All discounts, or the discounts matching your search. Under Export as, choose CSV for Excel if you will open it in a spreadsheet, or Plain CSV for a plain file. The Export summary confirms the number of items and the format, so you can check your choices before downloading.

The Export discounts dialog, with scope options (Current page, All discounts, matching search), format options (CSV for Excel, Plain CSV), and an export summary. (opens full size)

3. Download the file

Click Export discounts. Exports of up to 1,000 discounts download right away as a CSV. Larger exports run in the background: the dialog tells you, the file is emailed to you, and it is also listed in Exports and imports so you can download it there. Open the file in a spreadsheet or keep it as a record. Click Cancel if you decide not to export.

Verify the result

  • A CSV file downloads with the number of items shown in the export summary. For more than 1,000 discounts, the file arrives by email and appears in Exports and imports instead.
  • The file contains the discounts for the scope you chose, such as all discounts or just the current page.

Best practices

  • Choose All discounts for a full record, and the current page or a search when you only need part of the list.
  • Use CSV for Excel when you will open it in a spreadsheet, so the columns line up as expected.
  • Export before a large cleanup, so you have a copy of the discounts in case you need their details later.

Common mistakes

  • Exporting the current page when you meant all discounts, so the file is missing the discounts on other pages.
  • Expecting the file to change discounts, when an export only downloads a copy and does not change anything in the store.

  • Schedule Discounts

    The Active dates section controls the window in which a discount runs. You set a start date and time so the discount begins on its own, and you can turn on Set end date to add an end date and time so it stops on its own. Because the start and end drive the discount status, scheduling lets you plan a sale in advance and be sure it does not run longer than you intend.

  • Discount Usage Limits

    The Usage limits section controls how many times a discount can be redeemed. You can cap the total number of uses across all customers, and you can limit each customer to one use. Because a discount with no limit can be shared and reused without bound, these two settings are how you keep a code from being redeemed far more than you planned.

  • Discount Detail Page

    Clicking a discount opens its detail page, which is the discount form filled in with its current settings, plus a Summary panel that shows the status, type, and a list of the discount's rules in plain language. From here you can review a discount in one read, edit any part of it, duplicate it, and see how many times it has been used.

  • Apply a Discount to a Customer Segment

    The Eligibility control on a discount decides who can use it. You can leave it open to all customers, or limit it to a market, to specific customer segments, or to individual customers. Limiting a discount to a segment means only customers who match that segment can redeem it, which is how you run an offer for a chosen group such as returning or high-value customers.
