Shoppers and CSV export
Review shoppers who currently have saved items, then export the available records if you need to work with them outside the app. Understand the table filter and export scope before relying on the downloaded file.
Read one shopper row
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Shopper | Known email or name; otherwise a guest/customer label without email. Account identifies a customer-linked record. |
| Items saved | Current number of saved items for that shopper. |
| Waiting | Back-in-stock subscriptions still waiting. |
| Purchased | Whether the app has identified a purchase for that shopper; it does not say every saved item was purchased. |
| Last active | Most recent recorded activity date. |
The table includes shoppers with at least one saved item and orders them by recent activity. A guest without email is a valid wishlist user but cannot receive normal alerts until an address is supplied and, when required, confirmed.
Filter for waiting shoppers
- 1
Choose Shoppers
Open Wishlist Items, then select the Shoppers tab. Inspect the unfiltered list first if you are looking for a known test shopper.
- 2
Apply the waiting filter
Tick Only shoppers waiting for restock. This changes the visible table to shoppers with waiting restock subscriptions. It does not redefine the whole-store shopper count shown by the tab.
- 3
Clear it before diagnosing an absent row
A person who has already been notified can remain on the unfiltered list but disappear from the waiting-only results. Use the page controls for more rows.
Download the CSV
- 1
Click Export subscribers
The browser downloads a file named like
wishlist-shoppers-YYYY-MM-DD.csv. This is available on the Shoppers tab; the Products table has no separate product CSV export. - 2
Check the scope
The export includes shoppers with saved items across table pages and ignores the waiting-only filter. It stops at 10,000 shopper records. If you need a larger export, contact support rather than assuming the file contains the full store.

Inspect the columns
The columns are
email,name,type,items_saved,waiting_for_restock,purchasedandlast_active. Type is guest or customer; Purchased is yes/no; Last active is an ISO timestamp when present.
Export subscribers is the button's name, not a consent filter
The CSV can include guests without email and shoppers with saved items who are not eligible for alert delivery. It does not include a dedicated confirmation or unsubscribe column. Do not use it as proof that every address has permission for unrelated marketing.
If the file is unexpected
| Observation | Explanation or next check |
|---|---|
| More rows than the current table page | Export spans pages and ignores the waiting filter. |
| Blank email | That shopper can save without leaving an address. |
| Fewer rows than a past export | The list reflects shoppers who still have saved items; merges and removals can change it. |
| 10,000 records | The export ceiling may have been reached. |
| No browser download | Retry once after the request finishes and check browser download handling. |
