Adobe commerce (Magento 2) how to import product attribute sets

Magento 2 products can’t be imported until attribute sets are created. Attribute sets arranges all product properties that are further used to describe products and make catalog handling more flexible.


The Open Source or Adobe Commerce admin does not possess default built-in facility for Magento 2 attribute sets import, so you can either create attributes manually or google for scripts to be run. Whenever you prefer creating attribute sets quickly through import tool, consider Store Manager for Magento, since it allows you to:

  • create numerous attributes sets
  • import attributes of any type available in Magento 2
  • create/update values for attributes of dropdown, multiselect input type

Overall procedure of Magento 2 attribute set import can be divided into two steps - setting up the file with attribute data and configuring import settings within Magento 2 import wizard.

In order to create Magento 2 attributes via import, you have to fill in attribute properties (catalog input type, scope, default value, etc) and storefront attribute properties (enable/disable usage in layered navigation, in search results layered navigation, in quick search, etc), label, attribute set name.


Surely, some attributes belong to multiple attribute sets in Magento 2. They are being listed in "attribute_set" column of your .csv file in specific format, as the example below demonstrates.


Cosmetics|0|Product Details|1|2|product-details|basic


Attribute set name|Attribute Set Sort Order|Attribute Group Name|Attribute Group Sort Order|Sort Order of Attribute in Attribute Group|Attribute Group Code|Tab Group Code

These are details of one attribute set. Afterwards you should use double pipe and specify the details related to other attribute set.
