GoDaddy Source Data Export

GoDaddy Source Data Export

A complete GoDaddy export gives Next-Cart the source files required by the selected migration path.

When to use this guide

Use this guide when:

• GoDaddy is the Source Platform;
• Next-Cart shows source data file upload for GoDaddy;
• you need to prepare Products, Orders, and Customers files before upload.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, confirm that:

Requirement	Why it matters
GoDaddy account access	You need access to the site or store admin area that contains the source data.
Commerce export permission	The account must be allowed to export Products and Orders.
Customer export permission	The account must be allowed to export customer records from the customer area.
Email access	GoDaddy may send export download links by email. Make sure you can access the mailbox used by the store account.
Scope decisions	Decide whether to export all records or a filtered subset approved for the migration.
Secure storage location	Prepare a local folder for the downloaded CSV files.

Data types to export

Data type	Export file	Notes
Products	Products CSV	Export all products unless your approved scope is intentionally limited.
Orders	Orders CSV with line item details	Use the required date range and include line item details.
Customers	Customers CSV	Export all customer accounts required for the migration.

Before you export

Do not edit the CSV headers

Keep GoDaddy export columns unchanged. Do not rename headers, delete columns, or remove rows unless Next-Cart support asks you to.

Create a folder such as:

source-exports/
└── godaddy/
    ├── products/
    ├── orders/
    └── customers/

Export the files

1. Sign in to the GoDaddy admin area for the source store.
2. Go to Commerce > Products.
3. Open the Import/Export menu and select Export.
4. Apply the approved product filter if needed, then start the export.
5. Download the products CSV from the download link or email link provided by GoDaddy.
6. Go to Commerce > Orders.
7. Select Download.
8. Choose the required date range in the order export options.
9. Under export details, select the option that includes orders with line item details.
10. Confirm the export and download the orders CSV from the link provided.
11. Go to Customers > All.
12. Select all required customer accounts.
13. Open the actions menu and select Export.
14. Download the customers CSV from the link provided.

Organize the exported files

File	Place it in
Products CSV	source-exports/godaddy/products/
Orders CSV	source-exports/godaddy/orders/
Customers CSV	source-exports/godaddy/customers/

Keep the original file names where possible. If you need to add context, append a short label such as the export date without removing the original file meaning.

Expected result

You have GoDaddy Products, Orders, and Customers CSV files ready for upload to Next-Cart.

Verify the export

Check	Pass condition
Products	The products CSV opens successfully and contains the expected product records.
Orders	The orders CSV covers the required date range and includes line item details.
Customers	The customers CSV contains the expected customer accounts.
Download links	Any email download links were used before they expired.
File integrity	The files are readable and still contain their original headers.

If the export is incomplete

Issue	What to check
Products are missing	Re-export from Commerce > Products and confirm the export filter did not exclude records.
Orders are missing line items	Re-export orders and select the option that includes line item details.
Orders are outside the required date range	Create a new export with the full approved date range.
Customers are missing	Confirm all required customer accounts were selected before exporting.
Export link expired	Start a new export and download the file again.
Required data is not available in standard exports	Document the missing data and submit it as a Custom Service requirement.
