While importing products you can also create product categories. You can assign product category as a child of another category. This is the format required for this:
Category Name; [Category Description]; > Parent Category;http://example-page/category-image.jpg
If you provide the Product Category with the above format the following will happen:
- The category will be created with the name “Category Name”
- The category will be attached as child to “Parent Category”
- The category description will be “Category Description”
- The category will have the image imported from http://example-page/category-image.jpg
If the “Category Name” category does exist it will be updated with a given values.
Assign multiple product categories
You can also assign multiple categories to one product with “|” separator:
Category Name; [Category Description]; > Parent Category;http://example-page/category-image.jpg|Second Category Name; [Second Category Description]; > Parent Category;http://example-page/second-category-image.jpg
In this case two categories will be created/assigned to the product.
Another valid examples:
Category Name|Second Category name|Third Category Name
In this case three categories will be created/assigned to the product.
Category Name; [Category Description]|Second Category Name; [Second Category Description]
In this case two categories with descriptions will be created/assigned to the product.
