How to Filter Advanced Prices by Manufacturer in Shopware 6 Export

In a complex Shopware 6 store, “Advanced Prices” (Rule-Based Prices) are powerful but data-heavy. If you are managing a catalog with 50 different brands, your Advanced Price table can easily contain hundreds of thousands of rows. However, the latest release of the Improved Import, Export & Mass Actions app provides the ability to use manufacturer-based filters when you export advanced price data. Below, we explain the feature.

Why Filter Advanced Prices in Shopware 6 Export?

Exporting data isn’t just about backing up your store; it’s about sharing data with external partners and systems. Sending a massive file containing all your suppliers’ data to a single partner is inefficient and potentially exposes sensitive competitive pricing.

Default Shopware exports, unfortunately, are often an “all-or-nothing” affair. If a supplier asks for a price list, or if you need to update pricing for just one specific brand, you usually have to export the entire database and manually filter it in Excel — a slow and error-prone process.

The Improved Import, Export & Mass Actions app eliminates this friction. The new Manufacturer Filter allows you to surgically export Advanced Prices for a single brand. This feature introduces the manufacturerName filter to the Advanced Prices profile.

Key Use Cases:

• Supplier Compliance: Your supplier, “Nike,” requests a current price list. You can now generate a file containing only Nike products, ensuring you don’t accidentally send them “Adidas” pricing.
• System Integration: If you use different external tools to manage different brands, you can feed them specific data streams.
• Performance: Drastically reduce file size and processing time. If you only need to check prices for one brand, why wait for the system to process the other 49?

Step-by-Step: Configuring the Manufacturer Filter

Setting up this filter is straightforward, but it requires precision because it relies on exact text matching.

1. Open the Improved Import, Export & Mass Actions app.
2. Create or Edit an Export Job.
3. Select the Advanced Prices entity.
4. Navigate to the Filter section.
5. Locate the field: manufacturerName.

Configuration Logic

Important Rules and Limitations for Shopware 6 Advanced Price Export Filter

To ensure your export runs successfully, you must understand the current logic constraints of this feature. This is a strict filter designed for targeted operations.

1. Single Value Only

Currently, the filter supports one manufacturer per export job.

• Supported: Nike
• Not Supported: Nike, Adidas or Nike|Adidas

Workaround: If you need exports for two different brands, please create two separate export jobs (e.g., “Export – Nike” and “Export – Adidas”).

2. Exact Match Required

The text you enter in the filter must match the Manufacturer Name in your Shopware administration exactly.

• Check for spelling.
• Check for case sensitivity (e.g., “Apple” vs “apple”).
• Check for trailing spaces.

If the name does not match a manufacturer in your system, the export file will be generated but will be empty (headers only).

Strategic Benefits of Shopware 6 Advanced Price Filter

Why should you incorporate this filter into your workflow?

• Data Hygiene: You produce smaller, cleaner files that are easier to audit.
• Security: You minimize data leakage by ensuring specific partners only receive data relevant to their products.
• Speed: Processing a filtered export is significantly faster than processing the full catalog, making this ideal for quick spot-checks or testing new pricing rules.

Conclusion: Precision in Pricing with Improved Import, Export & Mass Actions

The Manufacturer Filter turns the “Advanced Prices” export from a blunt instrument into a precision tool. By allowing you to segment your pricing data by brand, the Improved Import, Export & Mass Actions app helps you streamline integrations, satisfy supplier requirements, and keep your data management workflows sharp and efficient.
