Import entities

  • Categories can now be imported separately and propely mapped before import;
  • Magento 2 CMS pages can also be imported using scheduled jobs;

Import sources

  • In addition to support of the FTP and SFTP, the extension allows importing products from the Dropbox accounts. Share a your Dropbox account with a supplier and you are good to go.
  • We have also introduces REST and SOAP API support so you can connect your CRM and ERP software to your Magento 2.
  • Now, Google Sheets import is also supported! You can compose or upload CSV tables to the Google Sheets and the only thing you will be left to do, if to paste the Google Sheet link to your import job and hit ‘Run’ button.

Import behavior

  • In addition to Adding and Updating existing entities, the extension offers such behavior types as Replace and Delete. This behavior types can prove useful whenever you want to have a complete control over the product catalog.
  • Additionally, the extension allows selecting the separators used in the CSV, XLSX, ODS, Json or XML tables you upload. This comes handy if your supplier works with tables of different formatting. You only need to set up a single job, and all the settings will be preserved.

Attribute mapping

  • As the title suggests Improved Import and Export extension allows mapping any product and category attributes with the system ones. If you are migrating from a different ecommerce platform, or your supplier uses different names for say ‘manufacturer’ attribute, you can always reference such attributes with the system ones.

Configurable product custom logic

Yes, the extension offers custom logic for creating configurable products on the fly. What it means, is whenever you are importing configurable products you don’t have to worry that simple products will not be assigned, or assigned improperly. The custom logic allows you to make sure you have all attributes and child products assigned and ready for import.
