All Export Types in Pulse Commerce

This article provides a comprehensive reference for all data export types available in Pulse Commerce. Each export type produces a CSV file that can be used for reporting, system integration, data validation, or bulk updates (via export → edit → import workflows).

Note: If your product catalog contains more than 5,000 items, we recommend exporting one or two categories at a time to avoid timeouts.

Inventory & Warehouse Exports

  • Inventory Export – Exports current inventory quantities, cost, and warehouse allocation details for all products. Used for stock audits, syncing external systems, or validating warehouse quantities.
  • Product Warehouse Export – Provides a warehouse-by-warehouse breakdown of product inventory for multi-location operations. Useful for fulfillment routing and multi-warehouse reporting.

Category & Product Content Exports

  • Category Export – Exports your full category hierarchy, category settings, display configuration, and SEO metadata. Ideal for site structure review or mass category updates.
