Looking to import product images in Magento 2 quickly and efficiently in 2026? In this Adobe Commerce & Magento Open Source guide, we explain how to import images into Magento 2 using CSV files — a crucial part of any bulk product upload process. Whether you’re launching a new store or updating thousands of items, manual image uploads just aren’t practical.

Fortunately, Magento 2 supports two default methods for bulk product image import: uploading from a local server or a remote server. Both are covered in the official documentation and can help streamline your workflow, but they come with limitations.

To overcome these constraints and make Magento 2 import product images even easier, we recommend using the Improved Import & Export extension. It offers more flexibility, automation, and full support for importing multiple product images per product via CSV.

Let’s explore how each image import method works, compare their capabilities, and show you how to make your Magento 2 image import process as seamless as possible. For more advanced techniques, check out our Magento 2 Developer’s Cookbook.

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.

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.

Adobe Commerce Review 2026: Features, Overview, and User Guide

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.

Managing Magento shipping tracking is one of the most important parts of providing a smooth post-purchase experience. Customers expect real-time updates on their orders, and while Magento 2 makes it easy to display product details, handling Magento 2 order tracking numbers is far more complex. By default, the platform doesn’t allow you to import tracking data directly from external systems, making it difficult to automate integrations with shipping providers.

That’s where the Improved Import & Export extension changes the game. With it, you can seamlessly import and export tracking numbers in bulk, connect Magento 2 to carrier platforms, and keep order statuses updated automatically. This means no more manual data entry, fewer errors, and a faster order fulfillment process — all while enhancing Magento 2 shipment tracking for your customers.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through importing and exporting Magento order tracking information step by step. You’ll discover all the tracking-related features the extension offers, learn how to set up automation, and explore additional tools to keep your shipping operations running efficiently.
