Data portability is a core nouz commitment. Your revenue, expenses, products and fixed costs export as plain CSV any time you want them — and the export is intentionally simple to re-import elsewhere if you ever leave nouz.
01 Where do I start a data export?
Open Settings → Account and scroll to "Export data" — it's a single button. Click it and you'll get a ZIP file containing four CSVs: revenue, expenses, products and fixed costs. Each file is plain CSV scoped to your active location, so it's easy to open in a spreadsheet or re-import elsewhere. The exact contents of each file are listed in the next section.
02 What's in each exported file?
- revenue.csv — every revenue entry, both manual and product-sale, with date, cash, card, tax rate, gross, tax, fees, net.
- expenses.csv — every expense entry with date, category, amount, note.
- products.csv — your catalogue with name, sale price, COGS, tax rate, status (active/archived).
- fixed_costs.csv — every fixed cost with name, amount, frequency, start date, end date.
Each file is scoped to the active location. If you have multiple locations, switch the picker and re-export per location.
03 What's not included in the export?
- Computed P&L totals — re-derive from the raw data, or use the monthly P&L export from the P&L tab.
- Statistics insights and tags — these are computed live, not stored.
- Your account email, password, or billing details — those live on Stripe and your auth provider, not in nouz's exportable data.
04 When should I export my data?
Export any time you want a snapshot — it's always free and available, even after you cancel. A few occasions are especially worth it: an end-of-year backup to stash with your tax records, before changing currency (historical entries don't convert), before deleting your account (the data is gone permanently after 30 days), and periodically just in case. The full list of good moments is below.
- End of year — annual backup. Stash the file with your tax records.
- Before changing currency — historical entries don't convert, so export first if you're switching.
- Before deleting your account — after 30 days the data is gone permanently.
- Periodically, just in case — once a quarter is a healthy cadence.
