## Description

Navigate your WooCommerce data with the precision of a master mariner. **Sextant
Export & Import** is the essential navigational tool for store owners who need to
move order data, products, and customer records between vessels without losing their
way.

Just as a traditional sextant allows a sailor to find their exact position by the
stars, this plugin gives you total orientation over your store’s data. Whether you
are migrating to a new « port » (website) or simply need to keep your « logbooks»(
spreadsheets) updated, Sextant ensures a smooth voyage.

#### Key Features for a Smooth Voyage

 * **Precise Navigation:** Export exactly what you need with granular filters—no
   more drifting in a sea of unnecessary data.
 * **Steady Course:** Import data with confidence. Our mapping system ensures every
   piece of information lands exactly where it should.
 * **Lightweight Vessel:** Built for speed and efficiency, ensuring your server’s
   performance stays on an even keel.
 * **Clear Horizon:** A clean, intuitive interface that doesn’t require a captain’s
   license to operate.

Stop guessing your position and start exporting with professional accuracy. Set 
your course with Sextant Export & Import today.

**Export**

 * All products exported to a clean .xlsx file — opens in Excel, LibreOffice, Google
   Sheets
 * Simple and variable products supported — variants go on a separate sheet, linked
   to their parent
 * Choose which fields to include: ID, SKU, name, prices, stock, categories, tags,
   images, permalink
 * Filter by product type, status, or category before exporting
 * Product count validation — compares raw database count against WooCommerce API
   count and warns if they differ

**Import**

 * Upload the exported .xlsx file (or any file matching its column structure) to
   update products in bulk
 * Choose which fields to import — only the columns you select will be updated
 * Supported fields: SKU, product name, status, short description, full description,
   regular price, sale price, stock status, stock quantity, weight, categories, 
   tags, and permalink (slug)
 * Preview changes before committing — see exactly what will be updated
 * Products are matched by WooCommerce ID — safe and unambiguous

**Built for reliability**

 * Three-layer safety system — disengages automatically if something goes wrong,
   protecting your store from downtime
 * Built-in error reporting — email a diagnostic report to the developer directly
   from your admin panel
 * No Composer dependencies, no external libraries, no bloat

**Part of the Sextant platform by Astraios.no**

course._

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/sextant-export`, or install through the
    WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
 3. Go to **WooCommerce  Sextant Export** to export your products.
 4. Edit the downloaded .xlsx file in Excel, LibreOffice, or Google Sheets.
 5. Go to **WooCommerce  Sextant Import** to upload the edited file and apply your 
    changes.

## FAQ

### Does this work without WooCommerce?

No. WooCommerce must be active. The plugin deactivates itself automatically if WooCommerce
is not detected.

### What PHP version do I need?

PHP 8.0 or higher. The plugin checks this at activation.

### My server doesn’t have ZipArchive. What do I do?

ZipArchive is a standard PHP extension required to generate and read .xlsx files.
Contact your hosting provider and ask them to enable the `zip` PHP extension.

### The product count is lower than expected. Why?

Another plugin may be filtering product visibility. The export page shows both the
raw database count and the WooCommerce API count — a warning appears if they differ.

### Which fields can I update on import?

SKU, product name, status, short description, full description, regular price, sale
price, stock status, stock quantity, weight, categories, tags, and permalink. You
choose which fields to apply — the rest are left untouched.

### Can I import a file I didn’t export with this plugin?

The import requires at minimum an « ID » column matching WooCommerce product IDs,
plus at least one supported field column. Files exported by Sextant Export already
have the correct structure.

### Why does the plugin deactivate itself on errors?

A plugin that throws unexpected errors can cause a white screen or critical error
on your storefront. Self-deactivation keeps your store running.
