Import CSV with nested categories issue

[edgano]

I need to import the CSV with nested categories but it fails over and over.
I have:
porductA with category catA>catB
productB with catC>catB

That is why I cannot have only catB on the CSV, i need the full strcuture.
But I have this CSV and I cant, it fails over and over. Do you have any workaround or solution to perform this import?

 

,titulo,codigo,ean,categs 
1,Test Product,123456,1234567890123,catA>catB

Thanks!!

Share more details.

Like which module you are using, What failure message you are getting, error screenshot, and CSV complete CSN file sample.

 

[edgano]

No modules.
Just advanced parameters > import

Then the matching

And the error


I am convinced that the "catA>catB cannot be saved" is "important" but i am not able to avoid/remove the >

And the file, as minimum example is the 
 

,titulo,codigo,ean,categs
1,Test Product,123456,1234567890123,catA>catB

I would like to avoid creating by hand all the categories, but I already did for this dummy example and still not working

Thanks in advance

In the default PS import modules, categories should be comma-separated. It should be like cat A, cat B.

Check the name correctly. Not sure if it's catA OR cat A (with spacing)

 

 

 

[edgano]

let me check. I believe coma separated was to include both (product in catA and catB) but not indicating hierarchy. (the issue is that I have to child categories with the same name )

[Knowband Plugins]

The hierarchy of the category will be defined at the category level while adding the categories into Prestashop. Add the categories to the hierarchy level (Parent/Child category).

To import the products, you can only specify the categories in which the product can lie.

but if i need 

man
    | tshirt
woman
    | tshirt

how do you specify which parent category when the category if tshirt ? I understood to use >
man>tshirt

but... it is not working

[Knowband Plugins]

As mentioned before, You can't define the hierarchy with the products. You need to define the same at the category level

Add one category i.e. Man in the Prestashop & Inside the Man, and add the Tshirt category. 

Prestashop has the option to add categories within any category.

my issue/doubt is how PS will know which category is when using the csv.
