Magento Import

The Magento Import feature allows merchants to import Magento 2 product export files directly into Shopify collections and products.

How to Import Magento Products

Step 1: Add Product Image Base URL

Enter the Magento product image base URL in the Product Images field.

Example: https://yourstore.com/pub/media/catalog/product/

The app combines this URL with the relative image paths from the Magento export file to import product images correctly into Shopify.

Example:

• CSV Image Path: /b/a/bag.pn

• Base URL: https://yourstore.com/pub/media/catalog/product/

Final Imported Image URL: https://yourstore.com/pub/media/catalog/product/b/a/bag.png

Step 2: Upload Magento Export File

Click Add Magento CSV or XLSX and upload your Magento 2 export file.

Supported file formats:

• CSV

• XLSX

Maximum file size:

• 50 MB

Step 3: Start Import

After uploading the file, click the Start Import button to begin importing products and collections into Shopify.

Supported Import Features

Import Simple & Configurable Products

The app imports Magento simple and configurable products directly into Shopify.

Example:

• Magento configurable product:

  • T-Shirt

  • Sizes: S, M, L

  • Colors: Black, White

Result:

• Shopify product with variants is created automatically.

Create or Update Products by SKU

Products are matched using SKU to avoid duplicate product creation.

Example:

• Existing Shopify SKU: TSHIRT-BLACK-M

Result:

• Product is updated instead of creating a duplicate.

Convert Magento Categories into Shopify Collections

Magento category paths are converted into Shopify collections automatically.

Example: Men/Tops/Hoodies

Result:

• Shopify collections:

  • Men

  • Tops

  • Hoodies

Import Product Images Automatically

Product images are imported using the Magento image paths and base image URL.

Example:

• Magento image path: /w/a/watch.jpg

Result:

• Product image is imported automatically into Shopify.

Convert Special Price into Compare-at Price

Magento special prices are mapped into Shopify compare-at prices.

Example:

• Original Price: $100

• Special Price: $80

Result:

• Shopify displays:

  • Sale Price: $80

  • Compare-at Price: $100

Skip Unsupported Product Types Automatically

Grouped and bundled products are skipped automatically during import.

Example:
