## Descrição

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._

## Instalação

 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.

## Perguntas frequentes

### 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.
