Exporting and Importing a Store

You can export and import stores in the uStore backoffice. After customizing a store to suit your needs, you can export its design and basic settings as a package file. This package can then be imported into a different uStore system.

This feature makes it easier to create and design new stores by reusing existing configurations.

Note: Products are not exported.
