The importexportfree extension is a free tool designed to complement the native Magento 2 import procedure. It is not a lite, demo, or beta version of the paid 'Improved Import and Export' extension; it uses entirely different code, performance profiles, and architecture.
Free Version Capabilities
Features are accessed via the System > Import section in the Magento admin and include:
- Product Image Import: Supports importing images from Dropbox, Custom URLs, or via FTP.
- CSV File Import: Supports importing CSV files from Dropbox, Custom URLs, or FTP.
- Archive Support: Can automatically untar or unzip archives containing CSV files.
- Logging: Debugging information is written to
var/log/firebear-import.log. - Compatibility: Supports Magento 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.
Paid Version Capabilities
If you require automation, advanced file formats (XML, JSON, XLSX, ODS), Google Sheets support, or the ability to import/export entities like Orders, CMS pages, and Cart Price Rules, you should use the full version.
