Export PrestaShop Orders Automatically

For the PrestaShop store owners, order management may include a number of tasks. One of such tasks is automatic PrestaShop order export to the FTP, Google SpreadSheets or local PC.

You might need to set up scheduled orders export from PrestaShop for several reasons:

• connect PrestaShop to third-party systems and services like an ERP or accounting software;
• provide fresh order info to your supplier (for instance, if you are a dropshipper);
• transmit data to your accountant;
• analyze order data and other.

For all the tasks like these, Store Manager for PrestaShop offers an effective solution. The option is called “Automated orders export”.

How to Configure Scheduled Prestashop Orders Export for Various Needs

Depending on the purpose, you may need to set up different configurations of the export. For instance, if you are a dropshipper, your supplier may require access to the order info via FTP or Google spreadsheets. Besides, different suppliers may need different order details.

That’s why Store Manager for PrestaShop offers flexible order export settings:

• filter – export all or new orders (choose date) from Prestashop;
• schedule export – set up the frequency and download orders within certain intervals (hours, days, weeks);
• choose destination – export orders to the local folder on your computer, Google spreadsheets or FTP server;
• fields – choose which order details you want to export (all or specific like invoice company, product, associated products codes (description and EAN), carrier, etc);
• choose delimiters and separators;
• export in a CSV format.
