Magento 2 Multi Source Inventory (MSI) is a powerful feature introduced in Magento 2.3 that allows merchants to manage inventory across multiple physical locations natively within the platform. This Magento 2 MSI user guide walks you through the key functionalities of the multi-source inventory system, with a specific focus on how to import and export MSI data efficiently.

From the moment you install the Magento 2 MSI module, you gain access to flexible inventory tools that support complex warehouse setups, regional stock allocation, and streamlined product availability management. However, while Magento MSI significantly enhances default inventory management, it still falls short in areas like bulk data synchronization and automation.

That’s where third-party solutions come into play. Tools like the Improved Import & Export extension and its dedicated MSI add-on fill these gaps by enabling seamless MSI data transfers—saving time and reducing errors.

In this 2026 guide, you’ll discover what Magento 2 Multi Source Inventory is, how to configure it, and how to import and export all MSI entities, including stock sources or product quantities per source, with MSI CSV formatting rules. Whether you’re a merchant managing multiple warehouses or a developer optimizing backend operations, this Magento 2 MSI import/export guide has you covered.

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. Whether you’re migrating from Magento 1, syncing multiple store views, or cleaning up old redirect chains, the extension gives you full control over your URL rewrite data, directly from the admin panel.

You’ll also find a breakdown of the Magento 2 URL rewrite import table, complete with attribute descriptions and sample values to help you avoid common pitfalls. Let’s dive in and turn a frustrating manual process into a clean, automated workflow.

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.

This Adobe Commerce review focuses on the features that matter to merchants and administrators. Instead of simply listing capabilities, we explain what each feature does, why it matters, and how to enable or configure it in the Admin. The guide covers core catalog and inventory management, customer accounts, promotions, content and design, checkout, SEO, and Adobe Commerce B2B features.

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.

You’ll discover how to create a shared catalog in Magento 2, what makes them different from standard catalogs, and, most importantly, how to mass import products to shared catalogs and export them efficiently.
