How to Export, Import, and Back Up Your CartFlows Funnels

CartFlows lets you export your funnels to a file and import them on any WordPress site. It’s an easy way to keep a backup of your funnels, move them to a new site, or reuse a funnel you’ve already built.

This guide covers the different ways to export funnels, how to back them up, and how to import them again.

How Funnel Export Works

When you export, CartFlows saves your funnel into a small .json file that downloads to your computer.

• The file holds the funnel, all of its steps, their settings, and the page design of each step.
• You can export one funnel, a few selected funnels, or every funnel at once.
• Importing the file on any site recreates the funnels as new funnels, ready to edit.

Your existing funnels are never changed by exporting, so you can export as often as you like.

Export a Single Funnel

You can export a single funnel from the Funnels list or from inside the funnel.

Step 1. From the WordPress admin, go to CartFlows → Funnels.

Step 2. Click the three dots next to the funnel you want to export, then click Export.

You can also export a funnel while you’re editing it. Open the funnel and click the Export icon at the top right, next to the settings icon.

The file downloads right away and is named after the funnel.

Export Several Funnels at Once

Step 1. Go to CartFlows → Funnels.

Step 2. Tick the checkbox next to each funnel you want to export.

Step 3. Click Export in the bar that appears above the list.

All the selected funnels are saved together in one file.

Export All Funnels

To export every funnel on your site in one go, click Export All at the top right of the CartFlows → Funnels page. The number next to the button shows how many funnels will be included.

CartFlows saves all your funnels into a single file named with the date, such as cartflows-flows-export-6-10-2026.json.

Back Up Your Funnels

Export All is the quickest way to keep a backup of your funnels. A good habit is to export a fresh copy:

• Before updating CartFlows, your theme, or your page builder.
• Before making big changes to a funnel that is already making sales.
• Before moving your store to a new host or domain.

Keep the downloaded file somewhere safe, such as a cloud drive. The dated file name makes it easy to find the right version later.

Import a Funnel

Step 1. Go to CartFlows → Funnels and click Import at the top right.

Step 2. Drag your .json file into the upload area, or click Upload a file to choose it. Files can be up to 5MB.

Step 3. Click Import Funnel.

The imported funnels appear in your Funnels list and are published right away. If the file holds several funnels, they are all imported together.

After Importing on a New Site

Products and checkout settings are tied to each store, so a few quick checks will get an imported funnel ready to sell:

• Open each Checkout and Opt-in step and assign your products.
• Re-select the products in any Order Bumps, Upsells, and Downsells.
• Preview each step to make sure the design and images look right.

Tip: For the smoothest import, export from a live or staging site. During import, CartFlows copies each step’s images from the original site, so that site needs to be reachable online.

Import or Export a Single Step Design

If you want to move the design of an individual funnel step, you can do so using your page builder’s template import or export options.

1. Go to the funnel step you want to modify.
2. Click the edit (pencil) icon on the step to open it in your page builder.
3. Use the builder’s import/export tool to upload or download the template.

Each page builder handles templates differently. Use the following guides to learn more:

• Bricks Builder
• Divi
