Can combinations and images be exported together?

Natively PrestaShop exports products in one CSV, combinations in another, images via URL. The Seegea module consolidates everything in a single export.

What is the size limit of a PrestaShop export?

No theoretical limit, but a raw SQL export on 100,000 products can crash PHP. The Seegea module exports in async batches, no practical limit.

Can recurring exports be scheduled?

Not natively on PrestaShop. Via webservice API or the Seegea module, you schedule daily exports (Google Drive, FTP, email).

Expected format to re-import elsewhere (Shopify, Akeneo)?

UTF-8 CSV with column mapping. Seegea offers export templates tailored to Shopify, Akeneo and Google Merchant Center, generated directly from PrestaShop.

PrestaShop product export: every clean method

PrestaShop product export is the invisible job of merchants. You need it to: feed Google Merchant Center, a marketplace, an ERP, a CRM, a third-party module, or simply to analyze a catalog. And yet, PrestaShop native options are poor.

This guide covers the 4 methods (back-office, SQL, API, module) and shows when to use which.

The 4 PrestaShop export methods

Back-office SQL

Advanced Parameters → Database → SQL Manager. SELECT * FROM ps_product query, CSV export. Fast but unusable (SQL column names).

Webservice API

XML / REST, dev-accessible. Granular, complete, but requires code. Good for recurring flows PrestaShop → ERP.

Seegea module v3.9.1

1-click export to clean CSV (Shopify-ready, Google Merchant-ready, Akeneo-ready), combinations + image URLs integrated, clean UTF-8.

The 8 pieces of data to include in a serious PrestaShop export

Product identifiers (ID, SKU reference, EAN)
Names and descriptions (short, long, across all languages)
Prices (excl., incl., specific prices, discounts)
Stock (per combination, per warehouse if advanced stock)
Categories (IDs and full tree path)
Images (absolute URLs, display order, alt)
Attributes and combinations (values, impact prices)
SEO meta (title, description, URL rewrite)

Before exporting for a migration (Shopify, WooCommerce, Akeneo), first run a PrestaShop catalog audit: delete disabled products older than 12 months, orphan categories, combinations with 0 stock for 1 year. Your export will be 30-50% lighter.

Export to Google Merchant Center

For Google Shopping, PrestaShop has dedicated modules (Google Shopping API, etc.). But Google's required format is specific: title 70 chars, description 500-1000 chars, image 1000×1000, GTIN mandatory.

Seegea natively generates a Google Merchant Center feed from the PrestaShop catalog, refreshed every 2 hours. Price / stock discrepancies between feed and site are eliminated.

Export to a marketplace (Amazon, Cdiscount, ManoMano)

Every marketplace has its own format. Seegea is not a multi-channel distribution tool (for that, use Lengow or Shoppingfeed). But Seegea prepares listings upstream: clean titles, complete descriptions, GTINs, alts. Distribution tools then work on a clean catalog.

Conclusion

Native PrestaShop export gets basic jobs done. For real use cases (Google Shopping, migration, audit), a dedicated tool like Seegea saves you from 80-column illegible CSVs and forgotten combinations.

Built in France between Annecy and Chantilly, Seegea supports PrestaShop merchants with email and Google Meet.

FAQ

Advanced Parameters → Database → Export. Pick the ps_product table and export. But you get a raw SQL CSV, unusable for import or analysis.
