Future updates to the integration
Here are some potential future updates we are considering.
Currently, the integration sends new data to your Google Sheets. In the future, we are exploring the possibility of allowing you to export existing customer and payment data from Checkout Page into your Google Sheet.
We understand that not all data may be relevant to your Google Sheet. That's why we would like to introduce the ability to choose which specific data you want to send and what data you prefer not to send from Checkout Page to your Google Sheet.
As of now, each checkout page is connected to its own Google Sheet. In the future, we could make it so you can select which Google Sheet you want to connect to your checkout page.
As your business grows and you have multiple checkouts, we understand the need to have a centralized view of all your customer and payment data. We are exploring the option of allowing you to send all customer and payment data across all your checkouts to a single Google Sheet.
