# Export and Import Upsell Strategies

Move active upsell strategies between stores with JSON export, resource mapping, review, and Draft imports.

# Before you begin

Export and import is designed for copying strategy configuration between stores. The destination store still needs equivalent products, variants, collections, locations, markets, integrations, and Shopify app blocks.

Eligible parent strategies can be exported whether they are Active or Draft, including scheduled strategies. Archived strategies and split-test or other child strategies are excluded.

# Export strategies

1.  Open **Apps > Order Editing > Upsells**.
    
2.  Open **Developer** and choose the export action.
    
3.  Select the eligible parent strategies to include.
    
4.  Download the JSON file and keep it unchanged for import.
    

The filename identifies the source store and export date. Treat the file as store configuration and review where it is shared.

# Start the import

1.  On the destination store, open **Apps > Order Editing > Upsells**.
    
2.  Open **Developer** and choose the import action.
    
3.  Upload the exported JSON file or paste its JSON content.
    
4.  Review the detected strategies and destination resources.
    

# Map destination resources

Order Editing attempts to map resources using stable merchant-facing data:

<table style="min-width: 50px;"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px;"><col style="min-width: 25px;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Resource</p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Matching information</p></th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Products</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Title and handle</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Variants</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>SKU and option values</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Collections</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Handle</p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Locations</p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Name</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

Replace or remove unmatched resources during review. If an unresolved resource is dropped, the affected module or condition may import with an empty slot that needs configuration.

Every imported strategy targets all destination markets. Review and narrow markets before activation.

# Handle duplicates and content blocks

When a strategy name already exists, the importer can keep both by adding **(copy)** to the imported name. Review renamed strategies so staff can distinguish the source and destination versions.

Referenced content blocks are recreated as Draft. Shopify file identifiers are not copied between stores, so reselect any images or files from the destination store's Shopify Files.

# Apply and review the import

1.  Resolve or intentionally drop each unmatched resource.
    
2.  Review the import summary and finishing notes.
    
3.  Apply the import.
    
4.  Open every imported strategy and content block.
    
5.  Recheck products, variants, collections, locations, markets, images, integrations, targeting, placement, and app-block installation.
    

Imported strategies are always **Draft**, regardless of the source strategy's status. Preview and test them on the destination store before activating them.

# Check integrations on the destination store

Export and import copies configuration. It does not connect a warehouse, transfer credentials or prove that the destination's fulfilment workflow accepts order changes. Review its integrations and import timing separately before activating the copied strategies.
