- Magento 2, Our extensions

Magento 2 Development; Magento 2 tutorial

Since category names on an e-commerce website may contain commas, the export process may recognize them as separators, creating new categories in your export file.

Below, we explain how to import and export Magento 2 categories with custom separators to avoid these issues. As usual, you will need the Improved Import & Export extension for Magento 2 since the platform’s default data transfer instruments do not support category import or export, nor it lets you use custom separators for category names when you import and export products.   Continue Reading

- E-Commerce, Magento 2

Import Export Magento 2 Modules

In this guide, we compare popular Magento 2 import and export extensions and examine what they offer for different data management tasks. Managing data efficiently is essential for every Magento 2 store, no matter whether you are on Adobe Commerce or Magento Open Source, especially when product catalogs, customer records, orders, prices, and other entities need to be transferred between systems.

This is where third-party extensions become valuable.
