Big Cartel Source Data Export
Prepare the two Order files supported for Big Cartel File Upload migrations and preserve the exact filenames required by Connect Stores.
Big Cartel Source Data Export
Section titled “Big Cartel Source Data Export”When Big Cartel uses File Upload as the Source setup, the standard file workflow supports Orders through two files. Product, Customer, or other standalone entity files are not part of this standard Supported Files set.
Supported Files
Section titled “Supported Files”| Entity | Expected filename |
|---|---|
| Order | ordersUnshipped.csv |
| Order | ordersShipped.csv |
Export the source data
Section titled “Export the source data”Before exporting, confirm the Big Cartel account can access Orders and define any approved date range that limits the migration scope.
- Sign in to the Big Cartel admin and open Orders.
- Open the Unshipped order view and apply the approved date or order filter when the migration scope is intentionally limited.
- Use the available order export action to download the CSV and prepare the upload file as
ordersUnshipped.csv. - Open the Shipped order view and apply the same approved scope logic.
- Export the CSV and prepare the upload file as
ordersShipped.csv. - Keep the exported columns and record structure unchanged.
Verify the export
Section titled “Verify the export”| Check | Pass condition |
|---|---|
| Unshipped Orders | ordersUnshipped.csv is present when Unshipped Orders are included in scope. |
| Shipped Orders | ordersShipped.csv is present when Shipped Orders are included in scope. |
| Scope | The exported date or order range matches the migration scope without unintended exclusions. |
| Structure | The CSV files retain their exported headers and row structure. |
| Filename | Each uploaded file uses the exact Supported Files name. |
If the export is incomplete
Section titled “If the export is incomplete”Re-export the affected Order set after checking the Big Cartel status and date filters. If a required Order file cannot be produced, use Support Tickets before substituting another file. Requests for Products, standalone Customers, or other data types require an approved Custom Service scope.
