Import Product Categories

You can import product categories using one of the following fields:

• categories_all_paths — contains the full category path from the root category. If a category doesn’t exist in your store, our app will create it automatically.
• categoryIds — category UUIDs separated by a pipe symbol |

Here’s an example of your store’s structure:

To assign a product to the Women category, use either:

productNumber	categories_all_paths
FBPRD001	Home/Shoes/Women

or

productNumber	categoryIds
FBPRD001	01949d590ee775e09a05e27a30b18875

To assign a product to multiple categories, separate them with a pipe symbol |:

productNumber	categories_all_paths
FBPRD001	Home/Shoes/Women|Home/Accessories

Replace Product Categories

By default, our app uses append behavior, meaning categories from the import file are merged with existing product categories.

To replace existing categories instead, enable the Replace product categories option in the import profile settings. This will first remove all current product-category associations before importing new categories.

☝ Tip: You can remove all product categories by enabling Replace product categories and using an empty categories_all_paths value.
