What is a .CSV File and What does It Mean for an Ecommerce Business?

Learn what is a.CSV file of Microsoft Excel (part of Microsoft Office), what does it mean for an ecommerce business and how can you use it.

A CSV is a comma-separated values file, which allows data to be saved in a tabular format. CSVs look like a garden-variety spreadsheet but with a .csv extension.

What is a .CSV File and What does It Mean for an Ecommerce Business?

CSV files can be used with most any spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheets. They differ from other spreadsheet file types because you can only have a single sheet in a file, they cannot save cell, column, or row. Also, you cannot not save formulas in this format.

 

How do CSV Files Help Ecommerce Businesses?

In the world of online commerce, one of your main objectives is to reach a large number of clients. Since CSV files are easy to organize, ecommerce business owners can manipulate these files in many different ways. CSV files are mostly used for importing and exporting important information, such as customer or order data, to and from your database.

A more practical example of this would be an ecommerce business that buys customer data from a social media website. The online network would likely send the consumer information to your database in CSV format, making it quick and easy to exchange the data. If formatted correctly, CSV files are simple to convert to other file types. CSV files are also not hierarchical or object-oriented, meaning they have a ubiquitous structure, which is another factor that makes them easy to import, export and convert.
