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.

I am trying to convert a Magento shop to an oscommerce shop. The Magento shop sells print cartridges and has cross-referencing so a person can find which cartridge works with which printer. I was able to get the products copied but I don't know where the cross-reference data is stored. I'm not familiar with Magento, at least not to the point of being able to look at the code to figure out the tables used. I created a job in the Magento admin and exported the products but the csv file doesn't show any cross-reference data.
I have full access to the shop and its database - just don't know where to look. I don't know if the cross-reference code was added by a developer or if it is some plugin from Magento. I have versions 1 and 2 of Magento, in case that helps. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to figure out the cross-referencing?
The feature is called cross-selling in Magento. In the Backend you find it while editing a product (Catalog => Manage Products) in the left menu, called "Cross-Selling".
Magento has 2 other types of such relations called "related-products" and "Up-Selling". Maybe you have to transfer that data too.
You can find these relations in the database in the table "catalog_product_link".
Link_type_id = 1 => relation
Link_type_id = 4 => up-selling
Link_type_id = 5 => cross-selling
I have imported 16990 products to my website via Import All products Profile
Its divided info 9 files
8 files contains 2000 products
and 1 file contains 990 products
All files imported successfully with no error messages
After checking the total number of records from catalog, about 1500 products are Missing
I have double check the CSVs files its correct with no issues
Could you please help me to explorer the issue?
Well, I have prepared a workaround for this problem. First of all, check if your missing products are showing in the database. If yes, try to do the following:
Sign in to Magento Admin Panel
Go to Catalog > Manage Products
Your current URL will look like this:
yourdomain.com/index.php/admin/catalog_product/index/key/[your_key]/
Change your URL to:
yourdomain.com/index.php/admin/catalog_product/edit/id/[product_id]/key/[your_key]/
You can find the product_id in the database. When you enter this URL, you will be able to edit the product. Now, check product attributes and make sure that you check all the values which are empty or not filled properly. In this way, you can clearly see all little mistakes by the Values in the CSV.
I have a webshop with some categories in my root folder.
Root categorie
- Home
- Toys
- Accessoires
- Bricks
etc
From my manufacturer i can download every night a csv file with categoryname1/categoryname2/categoryname3/categoryname4 etc.
What i want to do is the following:
If categoryname1 equals "toys" then Magmi must make the categoryname under my already existing category "Toys". Also al the products from the csv file in the categoryname1 column must be imported and assigned to the right category in Magento.
I also want to exclude some categorys from the csv file of my manufacturer. These excluded categorys must not be imported in my shop.
Is this possible with magmi?
My csv file from the manufacturer is realy big, with lotst of products and categories.
Hope you guys can help me out. I have already worked with magmi, but i was'nt be able to fix this one.
This is doable using the ValueReplacer plugin which has interesting mapping capabilities.
You can use the ValueRemapper Helper of this plugin to use a mapping file between your input csv value & the values that are to be ingested by magmi. It can also create a composite value from several input columns (here you may use it to create a "categories" column that would aggregate the several categories from your input file)
For excluding values to import, the Import Limiter plugin can do it too by selecting rows to exclude based on any column criteria.
A Last option would be to use magmi programmatic APIs:
Datapump API would let you create a script that will wrap magmi calls letting you perform any operation on input data (but this would also mean you'll have to read the input file)
Creating a dedicated ItemProcessor plugin that would do data transformation suiting your needs in its "processItemBeforeId" method.
I am trying to import products using Magento 1.7 in built import/export dataflow profile function
So far I can import products details and multiple images as per this tutorial.
But problem here is I am not able to maintain store view and image sort order together.
How I can format CSV so that I can control image sort order and store view?
in short what is magento field name for image sort order?
( options tried but failed: position, image_position, media_gallery_position, gallery_position, gallery_position )
Scenario is:
We have three images per product out of which one image should have first sort order and store view thumbnail, small, base image active ie. this image should use as primary image of product and other two are just inner images only for display purpose on product page.
Magento importing exporting are always quirky problems. as far as I know for 1.7, there aren't much options.

Check out above page it's pointing that problem too.
Store Manager for Magento does a pretty good job at importing products. For say a 100 products it takes a minute or two which includes time for RE-INDEXING product data. Benefits include -
Nice UI to deal with attributes, attribute sets, categories and products.
Provides column mapping functionality for CSV.
XLS/XLSX files are supported which is a nice touch since a lot of developers use functions to auto fill columns.
Connection manager can handle multiple database connections.
There are many more features. Above are just a subset of what I had tried.
Been all day on this one :
I have a bunch of categories in Magento and I'm importing a CSV of about 1000 products. Each product is going into ~10 categories.
I've tried formatting the CSV the same way that the CSV that I once exported :
sku,_store,_attribute_set,_type,_category, ....
"12345","","Default","simple","myFavoriteCategory", ....
,,,,"myFavoriteCategory/and a subcategory", ....
,,,,"myFavoriteCategory/badSubcategory", ....
I thought this was great but it's only putting the product into the first category (myFavoriteCategory in this case)
I also tried doing it all in one line by separating the categories by double delimeters within the quotes but with no success.
I'm using Magento ver. 1.6.2.0
Thanks
Using the Magmi plugin, which is fairly easy to install, I followed these instructions :

and it worked. I hope I can save someone in the future some serious head/wall contact.
