How to export files from Drupal Commerce?

To export products and categories from Drupal Commerce for your data migration, you'll need to activate the free Views data export plugin. Beforehand, ensure you've installed the free Views and Ctools modules to guarantee the Views data export plugin functions correctly.

Alternatively, you can follow the instructions below or watch this video guide.

Once all three modules are downloaded, installed, and activated, follow these steps separately to export your Drupal Commerce products and categories:

1. Log in to your Drupal Commerce admin panel, navigate to Structure-> Views, and click Add new view.

2. Fill in the View name field. Use "export_product" for products and "export_category" for categories as examples.

3. From the “Show” dropdown menu, select Commerce Products (for products) or Taxonomy Terms (for categories). In the “of type” dropdown, choose All.

4. Click Continue and Edit.

5. In the Fields section, click Add and check the boxes next to:

- For products: “Commerce Product: Product ID”, “Commerce Product: SKU”, “Commerce Product: Status”, and “Commerce Product: Title”.

- For categories: “Taxonomy term: Name”, “Taxonomy term: Term description”, and “Taxonomy term: Term ID”.

6. Click Apply (All Displays) repeatedly until all necessary fields are configured.

7. Click Save.

8. Under the Displays heading, click Add, then select Data Export.

9. In the Format field, choose CSV file. Within its settings, select Provide as a file and apply the changes.

10. Go to Data Export Settings. In the Path field, enter "export-product" (for products) or "export-categories" (for categories). Choose Page in the Attach to field, and then click Apply.

11. Open the Display a specified number of entities menu, choose Display all items, and click Apply.

12. Finally, save the changes and click view Data export.

Once you've completed these steps, upload the generated CSV files to the appropriate fields in the Migration Wizard to begin your data migration.
