An export connection defines where and in what shape LOCO sends your translated products. It is created when your e-shop is first connected; this page explains how to adjust it later. Here you will find everything that is the same for all connection types — platform specifics live in the sub-pages below.

Steps of the guide
Editing is a guide you move through with Next and Back:
- Edit export connection — name, language and currency, target e-shop credentials, connection status.
- Export mapping — CSV connections only: naming the feed columns.
- Export connection settings — automatic rules, the scope of exported data and the regular export.

⚠️
Nothing is stored until you press Save in the last step. If you close the guide earlier, nothing changes.

What step 1 always contains
- Name — how the connection appears in the overview.
- Language and Currency — once data has been processed in that language and currency, they can no longer be changed. For a different language or currency you have to create a new export connection. (A multi-language Shoptet connection shows no Language option at all — the language is given by the mutation in Shoptet.)
- Connection status — Active, Inactive or Archive. For an archived connection the product data is no longer available at its URL.
- Platform connections (Shoptet, Upgates, WPJ, Shopify) additionally show a block with access credentials — see the sub-page of your platform.
