Exporting a Binder CSV
In order to properly export Binder CSVs, you should first go to the Products section of the BinderPOS portal. From here, you can search for the cards that you wish to edit or input inventory amounts. Once you have applied a search, you can use the Export Search button in the top right.
An example search might be: Select Game and Product Type > Select a Set > Apply Filters > Export Search
After clicking the Export Search button, a CSV of your search parameters will be emailed to the main email address on your account. Open this CSV and make the necessary changes to your products and then import this CSV back into BinderPOS with the Import CSV button.
Pop up blockers may interfere with the download. If this happens, copy and paste the link from the email into a new tab. This will force the download to begin
If you are working on importing and exporting CSVs with BinderPOS, it is imperative that you remember that the emails will only be sent to the main email address for your store. Please make sure that you have access to this address if you do not already. You may also need to check the spam/junk folder if you are having trouble finding the CSV email(s)

While previous iterations of our POS required different steps to be taken when importing BinderPOS CSVs vs. other external CSVs, we are happy to announce that this has been changed. Now the process is the same for the importation of all CSVs
One important consideration to have before beginning to import CSVs is to match your title columns in your CSV to their respective titles in BinderPOS, or else you may find improperly imported CSVs or error messages. For example, if stores utilize non-standard variant names, like NM-Mint instead of Near Mint, which CardCastle and Scryfall use, these stores will need to change these condition title in their CSV from Near Mint to NM-Mint (or whatever title they use in their BinderPOS) before attempting an import
