Clean OpenCart Product Export Data

✓ Tested Works with CSV, Excel, Google Sheets → JSON-LD Schema
By dataclean.to team · 2026-02-12

OpenCart stores export product data with multi-language support, option combinations, and discount tiers baked into the CSV structure. Extensions for import/export add their own column formats, and no two OpenCart export tools produce identical output. dataclean.to handles the variability and cleans your OpenCart product data regardless of which export extension generated the file.

The Problem

OpenCart product exports differ based on the export extension used. Some flatten multi-language fields into separate columns (name_en, name_de), others use pipe-separated values. Option combinations (size + color) multiply into many rows. Category assignments use internal IDs or full paths with inconsistent separators ( > vs / vs > ). SEO keyword fields often contain stale URLs. Discount and special price tiers are serialized differently by each extension. OpenCart product catalog documentation

How to Fix It

1
Export products from OpenCart
Use your OpenCart export extension to download product data as CSV. Include all product fields: names, descriptions, prices, options, categories, images, and SEO URLs.
2
Upload to dataclean.to
Import the OpenCart CSV. The platform auto-detects the export format and identifies multi-language columns, option structures, and category path formatting.
3
Normalize multi-language fields
Standardize how multi-language content is structured. Ensure each language field is properly encoded (UTF-8) and that no language columns contain content from the wrong language.
4
Fix categories and options
Convert category IDs to readable paths. Standardize category path separators. Validate option combinations against available option values. Remove option rows for discontinued combinations.
5
Export clean product data
Download a cleaned CSV compatible with your OpenCart import extension, or export in a platform-neutral format for migration to WooCommerce, Shopify, or another system.
