How to Export Catalog Setup to Excel

What This Task Does

This task exports catalog setup data to an Excel workbook so you can review it, share it, or prepare bulk updates.

Use it when you need a catalog template or when you need to inspect product, category, brand, collection, type, or attribute data outside the admin screens.

Before You Start

Make sure:

  • you can access Tools > Excel
  • you know which catalog sheets you need
  • you know whether your export needs a specific manufacturer or vendor context

Steps

  1. Open Tools > Excel.
  2. Choose the product export workflow.
  3. Select the sheets you want to export.
  4. If the selected sheets require it, choose the manufacturer or vendor context.
  5. Run the export.
  6. Review the workbook and keep only the sheets your team actually needs for the next step.

Typical catalog sheets include:

  • product categories
  • product manufacturers
  • product collections
  • product types
  • product type to product category relations
  • product attributes
  • products
  • product images
  • product documents
  • product videos
  • product terms
  • cross-sells and upsells

What Happens Next

After export:

  • you have a workbook representing the selected catalog setup
  • the workbook can be used for review, planning, or later bulk updates
  • some downstream workflows such as imports or product-group setup may depend on keeping UUID and relation data intact

Common Mistakes

  • Exporting too many sheets when the real goal only needs a small subset.
  • Forgetting the manufacturer or vendor requirement for the selected sheet set.
  • Editing the workbook without understanding which sheets are relationships versus main records.
