While working with Magento 2, I noticed that exporting products directly from the product grid mass action was missing.</p> <p>To contribute to the Magento 2 open-source community, I created a Magento 2 extension that adds product export options directly inside the admin product grid.</p> <p><strong>What problem does it solve?</strong></p> <p>In Magento 2, filtering products in the admin grid is common. However, exporting only filtered or selected products is not straightforward.</p> <p>This extension makes the process easier by adding export options directly to the Products Grid Mass Actions.</p> <p><strong>Features</strong></p> <p>The extension adds two new mass actions:</p> <p><strong>1. Instant Export Product(s)</strong></p> <p>This option immediately downloads the filtered or selected products.</p> <p>Useful when:</p> <p>You need a quick export<br> You want to download products instantly<br> You are working with a smaller product set</p> <p><strong>2. Export Product(s)</strong></p> <p>This option adds the export task to Magento’s default export queue.</p> <p><strong>Useful when:</strong></p> <p>You are exporting selected products<br> You prefer quick export process<br> You want background processing for filtered products</p> <p><strong>How to Export Products</strong></p> <p>Using the extension is simple:</p> <ol> <li>Open the Magento Admin Product Grid</li> <li>Apply filters to narrow down the products you need</li> <li>Select products using checkboxes</li> <li>Choose one of the mass actions: <ul> <li>Instant Export Product(s) for immediate download</li> <li>Export Product(s) to add the export to Magento’s queue</li> </ul> </li> </ol> <p><strong>Open Source Contribution</strong></p> <p>This extension is open source and created as a small contribution to the Magento 2 community. Feedback, suggestions, and contributions are always welcome.</p> <p><strong>Git Repository</strong></p> <p><a href="https://github.com/sanjeev-kr/magento2-export-products" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub Repository</a></p> <p><strong>Documentation</strong></p> <p>Complete installation and usage instructions are available in the README file inside the repository.</p> <p>If you work with Magento 2 and often need filtered product exports, this extension may save some time in your daily workflow.</p> magneto2 opensource magentodevelopment ecommerce
