5 Ways To Export Products From Magento For Comparison Shopping Engines

Magento is a great platform with a ton of features. However, one issue a lot of merchants run into is exporting their products for the Comparison Shopping Engines (i.e. Google Shopping). I have tested a few different solutions over the years, and here are the top Magento Extensions.

#1 – Wyomind Simple Google Shopping

Although it is called Simple Google Shopping, you can use the output file to send to all Comparison Shopping Engines. The three main reasons to love this extension:

1. It’s relatively cheap at €30 (around $40 USD)
2. It works with every Magento product type (Simple, Configurable, Grouped, Bundled etc…)
3. Great support team

When dealing with complicated products, most of the other solutions do not handle them well. Simple Google Shopping gives you the option to pull all child items with the parent URL but still use the child product image and price. It’s very versatile and can handle almost every Magento product mix that I’ve come across.

#2 – Wyomind Data Feed Manager

If you are need a more complex solution with additional options, Wyomind also has a Pro version called Data Feed Manager. This version has many more features and can almost fully replace something like GoDataFeed. It is pretty cheap considering all the features it includes, the price is €80 (about $105).

#3 – CPC Strategy Feed Exporter

This is a very simple feed export tool from CPC Strategy. Just pop in the Magento extension and follow the instructions here. This works well for simple products and best of all is free.

#4 – GoMage Feed Pro

GoMage has an extension that is similar to Wyomind’s Data Feed Manager. This is also meant to be used instead of software like GoDataFeed or SingleFeed. I haven’t used this one as much, but it work well and is reasonably priced at $189.

#5 – Manually Export Products With PHP Scripts

If you are comfortable with PHP code, try this script. You just need to make a few changes and upload the file from your Magento server.
