Set Up Scheduled PrestaShop Product Export to Create PrestaShop CSV Data Feeds

Very often PrestaShop users need to export product data to a spreadsheet every few hours or days in order to edit it in a more convenient way or to send it to their suppliers etc. This is what is called a ‘data feed’. It is the file with information on products available at your store, that can be used for uploading to different shopping centers or other external users. Additionally, if your products are in high demand and you need to inform your provider about the low stock of your entities, export is also good means of accomplishing the task. However, running the process again, and again manually can be tiresome and often store owners start looking for reliable ways for executing PrestaShop cron job for exporting products.



Store Manager for PrestaShop has a built-in tool called Automated Product Export used to schedule the process. The application allows setting export without special technical skills for creating and applying scripts and with no changes in core shopping cart files.


What Automated Product Export can bring you?

  • Personalization of your exports. You can create different export configurations, defining precisely what products or product details will be exported, depending on your needs.
  • Planning of your exports. For huge catalogs, you can regulate the procedure of product feeds creation using scheduled tasks.
