Import manufacturers from CSV

Shopware 6 (English) General Questions (EN)

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to import manufacturers from a CSV file ?
Importing a CSV is working fine, but the entity Manufacturer seems not to be present …

I tried to look into the code if I had the possibility to add an entity to the import/export pannel, but I did not found anything. Just a hard coded list in some templates, that make me think it’s not possible …

So, maybe am I missing anything, but I found the „template“ system very flexible, linked to the „DAL“, I thought I could add any ntity to the import/export (and why not my own entities ?)

Thanks

PS : I’m new on shopware, and I really like the way things are done, and I have some great projects, so… I hope the english community is reactive :wink:

No, it is not possible.

You need to write a import profile. Unfortunately, shopware does not support manufactures yet. You could extend the import module to create an manufacturer import file…

I have never done this, so i cannot tell you why you cannot import any entity.

I had the same problem and I solved it with a simple n8n workflow. The workflow retrieves the manufacturers from a Google Sheet and adds them via the Sync API to Shopware. So you just need to add your CSV data to a Google Sheet and can do it the same way.

Here you can find the workflow template.

Hey nice info! Do you know how to extend the import file so you can add descriptions in different languages?

Sure! I have updated the Google Sheet and the n8n workflow template. You can find all instruction at the workflow template description.
