Effective Thursday January 5th there will be a small update to the customer import format specification. Currently the customer import does NOT match the customer export format exactly. We will be updating the customer import to match exactly with the customer export format.
This change is being done to facilitate easier changes when changing via an exported customer file.
Note that all information up through the billing and shipping information columns is exactly the same as before. The differences begin after the shipping email column. Please see the table below to compare the old vs new customer import specification. I have highlighted the first difference in red to make it more apparent where the differences start.
