Downloading orders from Magento and bringing them into inFlow

Note: We will sunset inFlow v2 on July 31, 2024. This means inFlow v2 will no longer be offered for download and we will no longer be hosting its Knowledge Base and support articles.

You can download CSV files from Magento once you’ve made your sales.

To export orders from Magento:

  1. From the Admin panel, select System > Import/Export > Export.
  2. Under Export Settings, set Entity Type to Orders.
  3. In the Entity Attributes list, mark the checkbox of each attribute group you want to exclude from the export.
  4. Click Continue to generate the CSV file. After Magento Go exports and generates the CSV file, you are asked to download it.

TIP: The Macintosh version of Microsoft Office supports multiple CSV file formats. When saving your CSV file, be sure to save it as a CSV (MS Windows) file type (source: http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/how-to-export-orders)

Importing the file to inFlow

Once you have a file from Magento you can import it into inFlow in the following manner:

  1. Go to Main Menu > General > Import Data.
  2. Choose Sales Orders as your data type.
  3. Click Browse and select the file that you’d like to import (the one you made in step one).
  4. Click Next.
  5. Choose whether you want to import your orders as open or closed.
  6. Match the columns within your Magento file to the columns in inFlow. We suggest the following matches:
