Magento Google Sheets Integration

Have you ever known that importing data to Magento 2 from Google Sheets is possible? It is not a joke, and we will explore the Magento Google Sheets integration below.

Although you will never find the corresponding option in your Magento 2 administration, a robust third-party Magento 2 importer can do the job. The default import and export tools of your e-commerce website are scarce. You can perform only several basic data transfers with them. Therefore, it is necessary to leverage a third-party extension that replaces the default import and export functionality. So meet the Improved Import & Export module for Magento 2. This tool dramatically enhances the basic features associated with moving tables to and from your website. And, of course, it delivers the Magento 2 Google Sheets integration to the platform. 

In the following article, we shed light on the basic features of the Improved Import & Export extension that can help you with the Magento 2 Google Sheets integration. After that, you will find a link to our Master Import Table for the Magento 2 Google Sheets import along with detailed descriptions.

With this information, we proceed to the use cases associated with the Magento 2 Google Sheets import. You will learn to import data from a spreadsheet with multiple tabs, automate the corresponding transfers, move configurable products to your store, work with tier prices, save category positions, copy the existing reviews to your new website, etc.

Magento 2 REST API Import

Today, we’d like to draw your attention to the Magento 2 REST API Import. Depending on the edition of your Magento 2 installation, your built-in import and export tools may vary a little.

The common thing is that neither of them lets you leverage the REST API import in Magento 2. Luckily, the missing functionality can be enabled with minimum effort. You only need to install the Improved Import & Export Magento 2 module. The extension offers all the features necessary to leverage the Magento 2 REST API import and export. 

The following article sheds light on how to import data into Magento 2 via REST API. We discuss how to enable the Magento 2 REST API import and what extra benefits you can get.

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.
