Export Core by Amasty

Note: This free solution version is provided to allow you to evaluate our code quality. However, it does not include ready-made entities such as products, orders, and customers, which are essential for utilizing the import/export functionality. To execute exports, you will need to either create these entities yourself if you have the relevant skills or purchase the full solution version on our website.

The export core is a part of the full Import and Export solution. Install together with the Import Core and Import\Export Core to see the full scope of data transfer features between multiple platforms This free package has the same code and architecture as the original paid Import and Export for Magento 2 extension but with the core options only. The package can be used for manual data exporting. See the full scope of automatization features and ready-made entities available in the paid version in this demo or book a live demo with the Amasty team to get a consultation in real-time.

The paid version has Lite, Pro and Premium packages. Visit our website to discover pricing plans available. A free package is a part of the Lite version of the full Import and Export for Magento 2 extension, but without ready-made entities for migration.

What is this package for?

Export Core is a multipurpose tool for data transferring from Magento 2. The solution has nothing in common with the native Magento import and export since it has a brand new architecture and code structure. Keep in mind that a free core does not include ready-made entities (e.g. Orders, Products) but the code structure lets you develop compatibility with any entity you need.

Free version options included

This package lets you:

  • Perform manual one-time export of any entity: the extension has a separate interface that lets you extract the data you need but does not include automatization options. It means that each data transfer should be configured separately.
  • Use 2 file formats: CSV and XML formats supported in a free version.
  • Use 2 sources for data output: download export files from the admin panel or use local directories.
  • File configuration: add header row, customize entity keys and set suitable field names to meet the requirements of 3rd-party systems.
  • Automatically modify the values: use text, numeric, date or custom modifiers to change the values in the final export file (round prices, capitalize product names, etc.).
  • Filter data: export only relevant data by applying multiple filtering parameters.
  • Adjust performance settings: limit the number of parallel processes according to your server capabilities.

Installation

To install the package, run the following commands:

composer require amasty/module-export-core
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy (your locale)

See more details in the Composer User Guide.

Export Configuration & Flow

To export data, you need to create the required entity or entities (e.g. products, orders, customers) first. Let’s see how it works in the free version using the example of the ‘Order’ entity.

Export Configuration

Navigate to the Export tab. Here you can choose the entity to export. For instance, we can export order items.

164422769-4fa91839-3358-4341-ac5e-459955ed8cf7

When the required entity is chosen, proceed to the configuration.

Step 1. Configure your file

It is possible to export files in an XML or CSV format.

164429610-8affadff-05b2-4acc-83e5-469012f4818d

If you choose a CSV file, you can also add:

  • a header row;
  • merge rows into one;
  • duplicate parent entity data;
  • set delimiters for fields and entity keys;
  • define enclosure characters.

To configure file settings correctly, please explore the requirements of the platform you are going to transfer data to.

Step 2. Set the file title

Name your file. You can also set a regular expression to fill in the date automatically.

164425407-7ca59381-0b27-4d93-9bd3-f4e8910b8fb0

Step 3. Define output option

When the configuration is finished, you’ll be able to download a ready file right from the interface. But, in addition to this, you can send the file to the local server.

164425732-ee116c77-8d13-46b7-9c35-4c5a182bdcf8

Step 4. Fields adjustment

Here you choose what data should be displayed in the file and how it must be arranged and named. The export file has a tree-structure logic: first, you need to choose the key entities to enable, and then select the subentities containing the details about the main one.

For detailed instructions on each step check this guide.

164426448-6b33bd09-3d2e-4154-b048-eeb6e586d39f

Start with the naming configuration. Customize entity keys that should be displayed in the columns.

  • Custom entity key — set the key that should be placed before the title of the main entity columns.
  • Output entity key — provide custom keys to replace the default ones in the subentities-related columns.

164426821-bc2890da-673c-454d-a577-0d05dec7134f

As we want to export order items, add the fields you need in the pop-up window.

164427171-6abe2349-0e7c-4827-bbfb-d9a0fe54f2c8

You can remove the fields and reorder them by using the drag-and-drop functionality. Please, keep in mind that the file reproduces the order set during the configuration.

164427571-8d47acd2-85ae-409d-9922-75f680e956f7

Customize column titles for each field to match the requirement of the platform you are exporting to.

164427854-a008770b-7913-4a6f-9cd6-fb5ae90c1b8f

Also, use modifiers to change the values if needed. You can modify texts, numbers, dates and some additional parameters. Learn more about each modifier in this section.

164429139-ed449af1-7d2f-4521-9bc8-f73845a521b7

Last, choose additional entities to export, e.g. Orders / Order Tax / Shipment, etc. and configure them in the same way.

164429428-7515cd11-156c-47fb-8a97-8862e2ee5d78

Step 5. Apply filtering

Select the filters to sort the data that should be placed in the file. Filter by any entity and value enabled during the fields configuration.

filters

Once everything is configured, click the Continue button to generate the file.

164430388-354c2965-0dff-43af-8d04-600f142d6506

Download the file. That’s it!
