Tutorial: How To Use the Magento Import/Export DataFlow Profiles

May 26, 2011Gary MartinLabWorkz, Tutorials2 Comments

This is a tutorial walk through for Magento 1.5.1.0 Import/Export Dataflow Profiles. You will be able to use this tutorial to import and export a multiple of products and/or customers from you Magento Admin Panel. Its not as daunting as most would think. Now fair warning, this will write over the products that are already created in your Magento store.

I do recommend that you back up your database and/or export your products already installed so you don’t rewrite any product information you wanted to keep.

Things you will need:

  1. Magento installed on your domain
  2. Create and ready CSV or XML to import
  3. Access to the admin panel
  4. A little confidence

Step 1: Go to your admin panel and select the System in the menu. Then navigate to the Import/Export > Dataflow-Profiles. Here you will find a few pre-made dataflows that come with the Magento installation.

Step 2: You are now looking at the pre-made dataflow that are installed with the Magento Install. You can import/export Customers, Products, and even export Product Stocks. For this tutorial we are selecting the “Import All Products” from this menu.

Step 3: You will need to upload your .csv or .xml file that you want to import (This works the same with Importing Customers.).

Step 4: Now that you have the File uploaded you now will need to select the tab “Run Profile” You will see a drop down and a button on this page. Now you will need to select your file that you previously uploaded. You will notice there are a series of numbers in front of the names of the files. These are a series of numbers that relate the time stamp the file was uploaded through the admin panel. This will prevent the system from causing an error with previous uploaded files and just creates a new one.

Step 5 Click the Run Profile in Popup and let the software go to work.

What our Clients think!

  • Gary Martin understands that design divorced from brand look and business goals is just another pretty Web site. When I engaged him to redesign my site, I had the content architecture sketched out, knew what core features I wanted, and was adamant that my site represent my brand and not be built on a cookie-cutter template. Gary went above and beyond in translating my brand identity into a brand-consistent Web site that wows with its look and its effectiveness. (He also designed a terrific new e-mail newsletter template.) Equally important, he was a delight to work with: professional, helpful, responsive, and he took the time to walk me through all the bells and whistles. If you’re looking for a Web designer, look no further than Gary Martin and LabWorkz.
