Your Sharetribe marketplace stores various data. The main categories of data are user accounts, listings, transactions, and reviews. You can view these in the Manage section.

You can export this data from Console as a .csv file. You can use them to extract data from your marketplace to feed manually into third-party programs, like extracting emails to add to your marketing tool. They are also handy for data analysis: CSVs can be opened up and analyzed in spreadsheet programs like Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers.

The rest of this article explains where to export your data, what is included in each export, and how you might use it.

Where to export your data

The CSV exports are downloaded from Console. You can find the links for downloading the CSV files on all pages of the Manage section in the Console sidebar navigation (1). For example, the link to download the user list of the marketplace is found in the Users menu of the Manage section in the sidebar navigation (2). The Listings, Transactions, and Reviews sections of the Console have similar links.

After clicking "Download .csv" on any of these lists, a CSV file will be generated and downloaded. You can open this file in any spreadsheet program (and even in a text editor if needed).

Remember, these files contain important and sensitive data of your users, so handle them with care. Also, exporting large amounts of data may take some time if your marketplace has grown very large.

Analyzing Your Data

With these data sets, you can analyze the performance of your marketplace. For example, you can monitor your marketplace's user growth based on the user export with the help of the CreatedAt column, examine the popularity of listings from the transactions export and its ListingId value, track the number of transactions in a given month, or measure user satisfaction based on reviews, and much more. Understanding these data sets will help you make informed decisions to improve your marketplace.

If you prefer pre-built analysis tools, there is a third-party extension designed specifically to work with your Sharetribe marketplace data. It is called Lemonado. You can sync your data there automatically, then use their tools to perform analysis, build dashboards, and more.
