How can I export product descriptions along with SKU?

[mdel0]

Hi, recently went to the "products" tab an exported a csv of my items -- but I need the descriptions as well. those were not included in the csv.

How do I get a an export with descriptions by product SKU?

Thanks!

Hi @mdel0,

By default, Shopify product exports include the product description. It's the 3rd column of the CSV file you downloaded, titled Body (HTML). Keep in mind that descriptions are matched with the product handle (and therefore with the product as a whole), and not individually per variant (SKU).

If the file you received doesn't have any information under the column Body (HTML), but your product editing page has the description field populated, then I suggest that you contact Shopify support—as this is something that shouldn't actually happen.

@pvoulg In my case, since the Body (HTML) contains commas and semicolons the CSV codification generate errors. The exported file contains more rows (due to semicolons) and more columns (due to commas).

How can I avoid this issue in the exportation?

Thanks
