CSV export and JSON backup are free
PlyOps Free includes generic data export for backup and ownership. The product does not require a cloud subscription simply to download product-library data in CSV or create a JSON backup.
Marketplace export is a different service
A marketplace export maps PlyOps fields into provider-specific structures, checks provider requirements, and may use listing identities or connected accounts. It requires PlyOps Connect. Free users can still store marketplace copy and copy individual fields manually.
Backups should remain understandable
The JSON format is versioned. Restore starts with a preview that reports additions, merges, skips, and records left untouched. Unsupported or malformed backups stop before data is written.
Local storage still needs a backup habit
Local browser data is not a cloud backup. Clearing site data or losing the device can remove it. Download JSON backups regularly or use PlyOps Cloud for automatic hosted backup and multi-device sync.
Common questions
Is export paywalled?
Generic CSV export and JSON backup are available in PlyOps Free. Marketplace-specific files, API actions, and listing mappings require Connect because they transform data for a provider or use a connected account.
What is the difference between CSV and JSON export?
CSV is for spreadsheet review and general portability. JSON is the versioned workspace backup used for preview and restore of the complete supported local data model.
Will restoring a backup erase newer local records?
The restore flow previews the result and merges by ID. It adds missing records and leaves unrelated local-only records in place instead of requiring a full clear first.
