Magento – Adding images with CSV import

csvexportimageimportimportexport

I have been running into problem after problem with the CSV export/import functions. My currently problem is that I cannot seem to assign 'image', 'small_image', and 'thumbnail' attributes to any image path.

This even fails:

  1. I manually change the image, small_image, and thumbnail of a product to one of the images associated with the product, and save.
  2. I export my product CSV.
  3. I check to see if those attribute fields are filled in for that product, and they are.
  4. I import the CSV using the CSV import tool, using the 'Replace Existing Complex Data'.
  5. I check the product that I changed, and it is now not showing any assignment for image, small_image, or thumbnail.

If my understanding is correct, a CSV that is exported and unchanged should be importable to yield the exact same product data, yes? What's going on here?

Best Answer

First you have to upload alll the images you want to import in the media/import/yourimagesfolder/

The in the CSV columns for image, thumbnail and small_image your image path should look like this

/yourimagefolder/imagename.jpg
