Filling in the details
You need to configure the exporter twice
- Initial configuration
- 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.
