Import/Export cookbook: How to import products to Magento 2 with VAT price included and deduct the VAT automatically to display regular price

October 25, 2021 - E-Commerce, Import / Export Cookbook, Magento 2, Our extensions, Uncategorized

When you import products to your Magento 2 store, often the ‘Price’ column from the file already includes VAT. However, if you want to sell products for their real price, how do you import such products?

Do you edit the imported table manually before the import? Ask your supplier to send you prices without VAT?

However, you sometimes cannot get prices without VAT. Your supplier sends you the file from their warehouse, and cannot control how the prices are printed. Or the ERP system sends a json file, which is hard to edit.

You can do it, specify VAT and have it deducted automatically with the Improved Import & Export extension for Magento 2. Below, I will tell you how to do it, in a few steps.

How to update product price during Magento 2 import

August 26, 2021 - E-Commerce, Magento 2

Magento 2 lets you specify a new product price upon import, but what if you want to update category prices by $10? Or what if your supplier raised all prices by 10%?

Therefore, nobody wants to calculate and apply each new price manually. In this article, we will tell you how to automate the process. You will need the Improved Import and Export extension.
