You need to configure the exporter twice

  1. Initial configuration
  2. Additional exporter specific configuration depending on the type of exporter created after the exporters initialization is complete.


How to fill the fields for example simple Excel importer

  • Unique exporter code - for example productsinmyshop
  • Title - Excel file of all products in my shop
  • Active - Of course the exporter will be active if you want to use it
  • Processing model - Default format Excel parser (because we decided to export all products in Excel format)
  • Export products by visibility in catalog - Visible products because we decided to export the products that are visible to the customers in catalog and in search
  • Export products by their status in catalog - Enabled products because we decided to export the products that are available to the customers
  • Attribute for marking product to be included in XML import - We leave this field empty because we wish to export all available products
  • Attribute for marking product to be excluded from XML import - We leave this field empty because we wish to export all available products
  • Display additional attributes in output (one per line) - We leave this field also empty because we do not wish to export any non-public attributes
  • Require exportable product to have a category - Yes because we decide that we export only products which have categories. Products without categories we leave out.
  • Exclude configurable products from export - No because our shop does not have any configurable products
  • Override target currency - We leave this field empty because our shop is already EUR currency and we also wish to export in EUR
  • Fetch full data at product export - Yes, because we wish to export all product attributes and all product images. Otherwise we would export only basic attributes.
  • Enable authentication - We choose to enable authentication, username is secret and password is 123456


Now we have a configuration panel looking like on the screenshot and then we save.
