Exporting Products as a CSV file

Warning

The following is based on my playing about and might not be the best way

Note

Exporting things from Akeneo requires that the Job Queue is running

Create the Export Profile

1. Log in to Akeneo
2. Select Export from the left menu
3. Click "Create Export Profile"
4. Enter the values
   • Code: An alphanumeric identifier
   • Label: A human readable name
   • Job: Product Export in CSV
5. Fill in the Content Tab
   • If the Category field shows nothing when you click Edit, ensure []the Channel has the correct top category set](/Platforms/Akeneo/Configuration.md#setting-a-channels-top-level-category)
6. Click Save

Run the export

1. Log in to Akeneo
2. Select Export from the left menu
3. Select your Export Profile
4. Click the green Export Now button
   • If is constantly says "Status: Starting", make sure the Job Queue is running
5. Click Download Generated Files
   • If you want just the CSV, select Download generated files
   • If you want to get the images, select Download generated archive
   • If you want to get the files from the filesystem, they're stored in app/archive/export/{export_profile}/{export_task_id}/
