Customisable csv export for Perch Shop

Would really love to be able to spec the csv output, as my clients all have particular needs.

Just a suggestion for something that I'd love to see in Perch.

Can you give an example of the sort of thing you'd like to be able to do?

Yes, that would help :)

For my client I needed a contact phone number stored as part of the customer data - tel - I would have liked to add this to the CSV to avoid having to do the following:

  • Export orders_paid
  • Try and identify order by name on perch_shop_orders page. This is because the csv has order IDs and the orders list has invoice IDs.
  • Once identified, confirm comparing the order ID on the order detail page against the CSV.
  • Get the customer ID.
  • Paste the customer ID on to the end of perch_shop_orders/customers/edit/?id=83
  • Get the phone number listed.

Not the quickest operation, as you can see.

Would it be enough if the extended customer details were included in the standard CSV? (or if there was an option for that)

Absolutely, Drew. That would be great, if possible.

I'll take a look into it.
