Settings → Data covers everything about getting data in and out of BillBasket safely — importing existing records, exporting to CSV, local and cloud backups, and (for larger setups) connecting an external database.

Import Data

Bring in your existing products, customers, or other records from a spreadsheet. See Importing existing data for the full walkthrough.

Export Data

Export your products, customers, vendors, or invoices to a CSV file — handy for opening in Excel, sharing with your accountant, or keeping an external copy. This is available on Windows only.

Local Backup & Restore

Take an encrypted backup of your store’s data to a local file, and restore from one if needed. See Backing up your data and Restoring from backup for the full guides.

Cloud Backup

Set up encrypted backup to the cloud, tied to your BillBasket account. Once enabled, this screen shows your last backup time and current sync status, so you can confirm at a glance that your store’s data is safely backed up off your device.

External Database

An advanced, Windows desktop-host-only option for larger multi-counter setups. Instead of using the default local SQLite database, you can point BillBasket at an external PostgreSQL server — useful if you’re running several counters against one shared database. Most shops won’t need this; it’s meant for bigger setups that have outgrown a single local database.

Vikram exports his product list

Vikram Bali wants to review his current stock in Excel, so on the Windows PC he opens Settings → Data → Export Data and exports his products to CSV.

Turns on Cloud Backup

He then opens Settings → Data → Cloud Backup and enables it, so his store’s data is backed up automatically to his BillBasket account. He checks back later to confirm the last backup time looks recent.
