How to import/export data

You built your feeds on staging and now you need them on production. Or a client wants the same setup on a second store. Or you simply want a backup before touching something that works.

Export writes your templates, filters, dynamic attributes, categories and variables to a file. Import loads them somewhere else. No rebuilding by hand.

1. Access the import/export section

• Navigate to Catalog -> Advanced Product Feeds -> Import/Export data.

2. Available entities for import/export The extension allows you to import/export the following feed-related entities:

• Templates: pre-configured feed structures.
• Filters: custom rules for product selection in feeds.
• Dynamic attributes: automatically generated product attributes.
• Dynamic categories: category mappings for feeds.
• Dynamic variables: custom variables used in feed generation.

3. Importing or exporting data

• In Import data, tick the entities under Select data to import and upload the file.
• In Export data, tick the entities under Select data to export and download the result.

Note

Export before any risky change. Restoring a working configuration from a file takes seconds; rebuilding one from memory does not.
