Import Manufacturers

Use manufacturer import when you want to create or update brand records before assigning them to products.

This is useful when your product file uses manufacturer names or IDs and you want those manufacturers to exist in Shopware before the product import runs.

Before You Import

Prepare a file with one row per manufacturer. Include a stable identifier when you update existing records.

Common manufacturer fields include:

Field	Use
`id`	Updates a specific manufacturer when you already know the Shopware ID.
`name`	The manufacturer name shown in the administration and storefront.
`link`	Optional manufacturer website URL.
`description`	Optional text about the manufacturer.

Import Process

Go to Extensions > Improved Import, Export > Import.
Create a new import profile.
Select Manufacturer as the entity.
Choose your file source, such as upload, FTP/SFTP, URL, Google Drive, or Google Sheets.
Map your file columns to manufacturer fields.
Preview the import.
Run the import.
