If you need to import export product attributes for Magento 2 — including custom attributes and attribute sets — you’ve come to the right place. Below, we explain how to enable the corresponding functionality in both Magento 2 Open Source and Adobe Commerce. Although working with product attributes in Magento 2 is essential for managing your catalog efficiently, the native platform doesn’t provide built-in tools to handle attribute import and export. That’s where things get tricky.

In Magento 2, attributes define everything from product variations to layered navigation filters. Without them, importing products is incomplete because these attributes dictate product behavior, display, and even customer interaction. Unfortunately, Magento doesn’t allow product attributes to be imported or exported by default, making tasks like migration, bulk editing, or third-party integration unnecessarily complex.

This guide reveals how to import and export product attributes for Magento 2 using the Improved Import & Export extension. You’ll learn how to work with both default and custom attributes, manage attribute sets and groups, and correctly format your CSV files. We’ll explain how Magento 2 interprets attribute values during import, provide a detailed product attributes table, and walk you through the entire process step-by-step — all to ensure smooth, error-free data transfers.

Whether you’re migrating from another store, syncing with a PIM or ERP, or simply bulk-updating your catalog, mastering Magento 2 product attribute import and export is critical. Let’s break it down and simplify the process.

Managing your Magento 2 categories import and export process efficiently is crucial for keeping your product catalog organized and your store running smoothly.

Struggling to manage SEO-friendly URLs in Magento 2? That’s where the Magento 2 URL rewrites come into play. While both Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce handle automatic URL generation for products, categories, and CMS pages, they fall short when it comes to importing or exporting those rewrites in bulk — a major roadblock during migrations or Magento SEO updates.

By default, Magento 2 doesn’t offer native tools to import or export URL rewrites, making tasks like moving a product catalog, updating the structure after a rebrand, or syncing data between environments time-consuming and error-prone. You’re left with manual editing or risky database changes — neither of which scale well.

That’s why we created this guide. Below, we explore how URL rewrites work in Magento 2, how the url_rewrite table is structured, and most importantly, how to import and export Magento 2 URL rewrites for both Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source using the Improved Import & Export extension.

August 26, 2026 - E-Commerce, Magento 2

Magento 2 commerce

In 2026, Adobe Commerce is more than an enterprise ecommerce platform. It is a flexible toolkit for building, managing, and scaling B2B and B2C online stores. But with a large number of catalog, inventory, customer, merchandising, content, checkout, SEO, and B2B capabilities, understanding what Adobe Commerce offers and where to configure each feature can be challenging.

B2B e-commerce comes with a different set of requirements than traditional online retail. Businesses need to manage company accounts, customer-specific pricing, purchasing permissions, shared catalogs, quotes, and repeat orders — all within a single commerce environment. That is where Adobe Commerce B2B, often referred to as Magento B2B, becomes especially useful. Its native Magento 2 B2B features are designed to support complex buying relationships and give wholesalers, manufacturers, and enterprise merchants more control over how their customers purchase.

But managing B2B data can be challenging when your catalog, customer, ERP, CRM, or other business systems need to stay synchronized. Magento’s native data tools do not provide the same level of flexibility for importing and exporting B2B entities as they do for many standard store data types.

This is where the Improved Import & Export extension by Firebear adds value. It extends Magento’s data transfer capabilities with dedicated support for Magento 2 B2B entities, making it easier to exchange companies, shared catalogs, negotiable quotes, requisition lists, and other data with external systems.

In this guide, we break down the main Adobe Commerce B2B features, explain how Magento 2 B2B functionality works, and show how to import and export key B2B data efficiently.

Migrating a Magento 2 B2B store or managing company data across multiple websites can quickly become a challenge, especially when the default Magento tools fall short.

That means you’re often left recreating each B2B company account manually — a tedious and error-prone process.

But what if there was a faster, more reliable way to import Magento 2 B2B companies, including their structure, roles, and credit settings?

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about working with Magento 2 company accounts. You’ll learn what a B2B company is in Magento, how its structure works, and how to import key elements — from company roles to company credit — using CSV files.
