Importing Categories in Bulk

Instead of adding categories one at a time, save time and work more efficiently using the import Categories template.

2. Click Categories.

3. Click the Import/Export.

4. Click Import Categories.

5. A pop-up window will open with the option of Download Template.

6. Click Download Template.

A CSV file will be downloaded with the following columns to be filled:

• Name: Name of category.
• Reference: Unique code you create for each category. The reference can only contain letters, numbers, dashes, and underscores.
• Image: URL link to represent the image of the category (Click here to learn how to generate URL for the photos).
• Name_Localized: The localized name of a category in the 2^nd language of your choice.

Once you fill the file, save it and upload it as follows:

1. Click the Import/Export.

2. Select Import Categories.

3. A pop-up window will open where you can upload the file.

4. Click Submit.

If missing data or errors are in the CSV file format, the system will indicate that to the user to fill the gaps or correct the errors.

After successfully uploading the file to the system and the data is validated, the system will send an email to inform the user the import process was successful.
