Why is the WholesaleX Import and Export Feature Important?
The WholesaleX WooCommerce import export feature lets you pull data from the dynamic rules, user roles, and user settings.
Before we dive in, here are a few words about WholesaleX.
A Few Words about WholesaleX
WholesaleX is a versatile B2B WooCommerce wholesale solution that allows users to create a B2B, B2C, or B2B+B2C hybrid site without hassle. With WholesaleX, you can easily set up bulk order functionality and set specific rules and roles for users – leading to a better wholesale experience.
Now let’s back to the import and export feature:
With this feature, you cannot just export settings for the roles mentioned above – you have the capability to make changes to the Excel file and import it to the specific WholesaleX settings.
This way, you can manage, add, or deduct settings from the Excel CSV file and upload it. The ability to make such changes gives you more control over the data – specifically for user roles and dynamic rules.
Here’s how they work:
WooCommerce Import Export Feature in WholesaleX Dynamic Rules
The Dynamic Rules feature in WholesaleX allows users to set discounts dynamically for specific users. There are rules in place that are applicable to various scenarios.
You can set specific discount rules for specific user roles. You can apply specific conditions for different user roles and set date and time limit rules as well.
Now, with the import and export feature, you can easily export the dynamic rules data and view them in an Excel sheet.
Not only that, you can make changes to the Excel file and upload it back to the WholesaleX dynamic rules dashboard using the “Import” functionality.
Quick Note: We have a quick video to show you the features of the WholesaleX import and export functionality. Check it out to get a proper overview and workings of the feature:
Let’s get back to the explanation:
You can upload the file in CSV format using the import feature. You can choose to update the existing rules or bring changes to all the rules using the importer.
The WholesaleX documentation can help you understand the features:
A Quick Look at How to Do It
Here’s a quick demo to show you how it all works. We will be using the WholesaleX dynamic rules settings as the example:
- Go to WholesaleX > Dynamic Rules from your WordPress dashboard.
- You can create a dynamic rule using the “Create Dynamic Rule” button.
- Once you have a couple of dynamic rules ready, you can export the data using the “Export” button.
- You can make changes to the exported Excel CSV file.
- You can import the CSV file after changing the data in the exported file.
Note: You may encounter errors when you do not submit the file in the right format. And by the “right” format – it means that the data in the Excel file need to be in the correct format. If you change the data without maintaining the proper format as exported, then the import log will show errors. Please check the documentation for more information.

Import and Export Feature for WholesaleX User Roles
In the User Roles settings of WholesaleX, you can add rules for some instances. For example, you set rules to show pricing to certain users including or excluding taxes, add specific payment methods, set shipping methods, and more.
With the WholesaleX WooCommerce import export feature, you can extract the data about the user roles – it pretty much works the same way as in the Dynamic rules setting.
You can import the data to update the user settings or export it to make changes in the Excel file.
You can choose to update only the existing settings using the import functionality. No new changes will be added.

However, there is one thing you need to take note of:
In the “Users” Settings you have an additional “Column” option. Here, you turn on/off which fields you want to export and show in the Excel file.
Other than that, the import/export functionality is pretty much the same as mentioned above. You can import data and only change the existing fields or bring new changes as well.
