Import Listings
Supported | Magento - Import Listings
Introduction to Magento Import Listings Integration
This guide will walk you through setting up the Import Listings integration for Magento on Flxpoint. It allows you to bring your Magento product listings into Flxpoint, making it easier to manage your inventory across platforms. Let’s get started!
Purpose of This Integration
This integration imports product listings from Magento into Flxpoint, ensuring your catalog stays up-to-date with your Magento inventory:
- Imports listings as products or updates existing ones in Flxpoint based on SKU matches.
- Supports pausing imported listings to prevent immediate syncing back to Magento.
- Handles product listings from Magento.
It simplifies inventory management by centralizing your Magento listings in Flxpoint.
How the Integration Works
The integration follows these steps:
1. Initiation: Flxpoint connects to Magento’s API using the base URL (e.g.,
https://www.yourstore.com/media/catalog/product/) and retrieves product data. 2. Data Retrieval: Retrieves all active listings from Magento.
3. Processing: Imports listings into Flxpoint based on your settings (e.g., create new products, update existing ones).
4. SKU Mapping: Links Magento listings to Flxpoint listings using the selected Master SKU field.
5. Pausing (Optional): Sets newly imported listings to “Paused” if enabled, preventing immediate syncing back to Magento.
6. Execution: Runs manually via "Run Sync" or on a schedule via "Adjust Schedule."
Configuration Options
Customize how listings are imported with these settings:
- Enable Import Listings: Turn on to import product listings from Magento.
- Product & Listing Management: Choose how listings are imported into Flxpoint:
- Create new products only: Imports listings as new products if there’s no SKU match.

- Set New Listings to Paused: Automatically pause imported listings to prevent syncing back to Magento until you’re ready.
- Image URL: Prepend product image URL (e.g.,
https://www.yourstore.com/media/catalog/product/) for image imports.Setup Instructions

1. Enable Import Listings: Go to the Magento channel settings, find "Import Listings," and toggle it on.
2. Configure Product & Listing Management: Choose how to handle imported listings:

3. Set Master SKU: Select a Magento field (e.g., Magento Source Variant - Configurable SKU) as the Master SKU to link Magento listings to Flxpoint listings.
4. Set New Listings to Paused: Enable this option to pause newly imported listings. This prevents pricing or quantity data from syncing back to Magento until you’re ready.
5. Image URL: Prepend the product image URL (e.g.,
https://www.yourstore.com/media/catalog/product/) to import images. 6. Run the Integration: Start manually with "Run Sync" or schedule via "Adjust Schedule."
7. Unpause Listings (if Paused): If you enabled “Set New Listings to Paused,” unpause listings when ready:
