I have an Excel CSV of products (Roughly 11000 products) and i can import them successfully but what column name does Magento require to import the products into their specific categories?
I tried the following in my excel csv but it didn't work:
root_category category
Default Category Washer
Even natively exported from Magento file not always suits for importing it back.
To format file in the way Magento insists, you need to include all the required fields and keep to UTF-8 encoding (without BOM).
Check this article with the list of required fields for Magento import - https://www.mag-manager.com/useful-articles/tipstricks/required-csv-file-values-for-error-free-magento-import-via-admin/

I am trying to import/update categories using the module being developed for magento MAGMI, i have made my custom category csv file with columns:
Categories
ttf1
ttf2
2 and 3 are custom attributes, What i want to do is to update the categories different customly added attributes using csv file. And i get an error:
String could not be parsed as XML
I thought my csv is not working perfectly, so i exported products csv from magento backend and try to import it, and it gives the same error. I need to import categories via MAGMI, i don't need to include any product data in csv. Will this work?
if you want only import categories, you can create in MAGENTO (or via MAGMI) the product "test" with sku "0000" and import via MAGMI csv-file like:
"sku","categories"
"0000","NewCategory1"
"0000","NewCategory2/Sub1"
"0000","NewCategory2/Sub2"
"0000","NewCategory2/Sub3"
"0000","DeleteThisCategory"
in the end don't forget delete/disable the "test" product and "DeleteThisCategory" category.
Magmi does not import categories only, it is able to create categories on the fly during item import that's a big difference. IE : magmi imports ITEMS and can auto create categories for ITEMS being imported.
If you want to import categories, use another magento plugin.
Whenever I do an import with Magmi, it misses products without telling me what happened.
For example on this screenshot below, you can see it found 226 records but only imported 194 items.
What happened to the remaining 32 items? Can I find their SKU? Why weren't they imported? Is there any place I can find this information?
You likely had some values in the products that halter their import or they contained data that broke the import.
Do the following:
Check
SELECT sku
FROM catalog_product_entity
ORDER BY entity_id
WHERE
sku
IN
(
.. list of skus you're importing commas separated.
)
To get the skus that you've successfully imported.
Set Magmi import delimiter to | (pipe) and use open office when saving csv files and force them to have quotes around each field and be pipe separated to avoid any and all quote and comma issues within your data.
You can enable and configure Magmi report mail notifier. Every time you import products you will receive a report containing the information about the successfully imported and failed to import products skus.To receive the email you need to configure your email id.
I am importing simple and configurable products using the magento Import. When associated products (super products) are imported the order is set to what appears to be alphabetical order based on the attribute name. The order of these can be changed in admin by dragging the attributes. It appears the order is kept in the catalog_product_super_attribute table in the ‘position’ column. But, so far I’ve found no way to import this order.
Is there are parameter I can add to the CSV file to import this value.
I have been using Magmi to import products by adding items to the file " export_all_products.csv" without any problems
But when I have products that need to be remove,what I did was by removing the whole row in that product line in the csv file and upload it using magmi, but the products that I want to delete is still there and sometimes duplicated, is there a way to get it done or can I empty some tables in the database in phpmyadmin before I do the import?
Thanks so much
You need to use the Product Deleter plugin to delete products with Magmi.
Use the column name magmi:delete with the value of 1 on the rows you want removed from Magento.
Example CSV:
"sku","magmi:delete"
"00001","1"
"00004","1"
I'm importing simple Magento products using the new import-export module in Magento 1.5+ with different prices for different websites (1 site is £29 another is 34 euros). When I run the import though the price for all sites is set as 34 (pounds or euros depending).
Has anybody successfully imported product prices to multiple sites/views from the same file?
Does anybody have an example CSV file that is successfully importing a UK price to one store and a different Euro price to another?
Living in hope.

You can create an example file yourself. Just create a sample product in the backend and export it to a csv - you should get the csv definition. The trick is to add separate lines to your csv for different values in different websites.
