Unless you are selling very simple products, the import/export cart items isn't very useful. Any items with options, such as sizes, colours, etc can be in the cart, but it is not possible to export/import them.
Of 25000 items, I only have 3 items that are simple and do not have options.........
Please enhance the import/export of cart items so that us users with more complex products can use this feature.....

Axel; are you still looking to have product options? There is no easy way to it that I can figure out except to just create them manually. So for my products, the main option is different sizes, and the second is different colours.
So its a long list of options - and the sub-options just gives the correct part number for the combination of size and colour.
to see the result: look at the cart items here:

The attachment shows the options for 4th cart card on the web page.
Unless I'm missing something, the export/import has no way to deal with the options.
Then look at this:

This site uses cs-cart - and I can have as many options as I want - and can export/import all product options no problem. I make all my critial changes in a spreadsheet and export back to cs-cart. This is what X5 needs. Cs-cart is about $1500 (it was $300 when i first bought the licence 6 years ago - 6 years ago they had options export/import feature). I still think it is worth it for a serious cart solution - especially the payment and shipping options. But X5 has better page control.......
Come on X5, lets get serious about being a professional cart solution......
