To ensure that the custom fields you added to your ecommerce site template are included in the exported CSV file that you use for import/export in Webflow, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Go to the CMS Collections section in Webflow by selecting the "CMS" option from the left sidebar.
  2. Open the specific collection that contains the custom fields you want to include in the CSV file.
  3. In the collection editor, click on the "Settings" tab at the top.
  4. Scroll down to the "CSV" section.
  5. Toggle the "Include custom fields in CSV export" option to enable it. This option ensures that any custom fields you added to the collection will be included in the exported CSV file.
  6. Save your changes by clicking the "Publish" button in the top-right corner.

After following these steps, whenever you export this collection to a CSV file, the custom fields will be included in the exported file. This way, you can easily import and export data with all the specific custom fields you added to your Webflow ecommerce site template.

By including custom fields in your CSV export, you can maintain detailed data about your ecommerce products and utilize that information for various business purposes, such as inventory management, data analysis, or syncing with external systems.
