improved import and export - Magento 2 extension

The following blog post will help you retrace the evolution of the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 module. The article gathers updates associated with the extension’s each new version from the very beginning. At the time of 1.0.0, it was a basic import solution with an existing import jobs architecture and import cron automation. With the next few versions, the module got such enhancements as product attribute import on the fly, transfers from FTP, SFTP, URL, and Dropbox, custom mapping, etc. Each new release made the Improved Import stronger and stronger. However, it was still an import-only tool until 1.5.0 was released. With this version, our extension became capable of both import and export processes. You can peruse the detailed evolution of the module and see its latest features below.

How to Import JSON Files to Magento 2

Magento 2 JSON Import

The default Magento 2 data import capabilities are enough for satisfying only basic data transfer demands, but what if a more complex task must be solved? For instance, you need to import JSON files to Magento 2, while the system supports only the CSV standard. Therefore, you need to convert your JSON files to the supported file type in order to move them to your e-commerce website. Luckily, there is a more user-friendly solution for importing JSON to Magento 2.

Meet the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 extension. This module supports JSON data import so that you can move all the necessary information to your e-commerce store without comforting it to CSV. You can effortlessly move data in this format in both directions: to and from your Magento 2 website.

In this article, we discuss JSON file requirements for importing data to Magento 2 and provide a list of supported entities (you can transfer all core entities now). Besides, there is a step-by-step guide to importing JSON data to Magento 2. And if you are not familiar with the JSON format, you will find its brief description below. Continue Reading

How To Import and Export Orders to Magento 2

Magento 2 Orders Import

The following article sheds light on how to import orders to Magento 2. Merchants usually do that when they migrate to Magento 2 or synchronize their business with external marketplaces. However, you cannot do that within the admin’s default tools. Therefore, a third-party extension is necessary to maintain this process. 

Besides, the blog post explains how to export orders from Magento 2. This procedure comes in handy in similar cases: when the migration from Magento 2 is required or orders are processed in external systems. Unlike the Magento 2 order import, the corresponding export process is available in the administration right on the order page. Although you can transfer orders from your website with the help of the default tools, we describe a more fully featured but at the same time natural way of doing that. 

In the article below, you will discover how the order import works. We explore the Magento 2 order file structure and generate invoices and shipments while importing tracking numbers. You will also see how to export orders from Magento 2. The last chapter of the article reveals other features of the tool that we use to run data transfers.
