Importing products that belong to multiple categories

Post by bcc » Sat Jul 04, 2009 3:45 pm

Most of our products belong to multiple categories. I saw there is a column named "categories" but the format seems to just specify the hierachy of the categories not multiple categories that it belongs to. How should I specify the multiple categories in the csv file? Thanks!

You can also specify multiple categories under "Categories" column.

To specify multiple categories use a comma character "," to separate multiple categories. For example you can use a similar syntax like following:
"Sample Category:Computers and Electronics,Category2,category3"
And this will associate the product to 3 specified categories.
