Hi, the single licence is not activating on the (dev) site I need to import the data to. No activation left. I’m sure like a lot of your users need to export data from a live site and import to a dev site how does this work with single licence? Surely you don’t have to buy a seperate licence for export and import?

Hi,
You can use a single site license for both export and import purposes if it’s a one-time process. You may please activate the plugin on the first site and export and then deactivate the license before installing it on the new site. The plugin license can be activated only on a single site at a time. If you are required to use the plugin simultaneously on both sites then please purchase a multisite license variant.

Hi,
How can I export the 20 most recent products from ‘All Products’ list in the dashboard?
Being able to simply ‘checkbox’ select them and then export ‘selected’ would be very useful.
I don’t want to have to export everything!
Thanks

Hi,
By default, there is no option to export only the latest 20 products using the plugin. We can suggest a workaround by using the
Skip first n products option. In the Skip first n products field you may please specify the total number of products on your site except the 20. Eg: If you have a total of 100 products and if you are required to export only the latest 20 then you may please specify “80” in the Skip first n products field.

I just bought a license for one site and then started wondering if one-site license means that it can be used in one site at the time or only on one site ever?
I mean I need to first import products to staging environment and then to production. So is that considered one or two sites?

Hi,
You can use a single site license for both export and import. At a time the plugin license can be activated only on a single site. If you are required to run the plugin simultaneously on both sites then please purchase a multisite license variant.

I have installed and activated the plugin and want to have the Import/Export Users functions. The banner that comes up when I select the general settings confuses me so I am not sure what to do.

Hi,
To install and start using the Import export users function please make sure that you have installed both the zip files wt-import-export-for-woo.zip and wt-import-export-for-woo-user.zip. You can download both the zip files from the API downloads section of your WebToffee account.
