A couple simple questions about product attributes... (CSV Import File)

[RapidFire]

I'm in the process of setting up my entire catalog in CVS files to be imported into Prestashop and I have a couple questions about the column attributes.

#1 - ID's
Do categories and products share the same ID system, meaning that if I have "Sports Equipment" as a category with an ID of "5", then I cannot have a product "Soccer Ball" with an ID of "5"? Or are category and product ID #'s independent of each other, meaning that I can have a category with an ID of "5" AND a product with an ID of "5"?

#2 - Tax Rate
In the Back Office, I already set the universal tax rate. Do I still need to add in the tax rate in my CSV file in the tax rate column? If I do, is tax going to be charged twice?

#3 - Wholesale Price
This is only visible in the Back Office, correct? For stats purposes I'm assuming?

#4 - Reference Number
What purpose does this serve? Where would you enter the reference # to look an item up?

#5 - What is the "Feature" attribute for?

Thanks!

*EDIT* Also, does CSV import support a category for quantity discounts yet?

1. The category and product IDs are independent, so you can have both a category ID 5 and product ID 5.

2. When you say universal tax, do you mean that you've set state taxes? If you have and there are no taxes specific to individual products, then you don't need to specify a tax, otherwise, you do need to specify the tax for every product.

3. That's correct. It is displayed only in the Back Office for statistics purposes.

4. The reference number is displayed on the product page, cart summary and invoices. You can search by reference using the search bar if you have it installed. On the Preferences > Search tab, it is given a weight of

5. The feature column lets you add as many features columns as you want and then associate them with features on the import screen. The features are displayed on the "Data sheet" on the product page, which is basically a list of labels and values.

6. No, it is not possible to import quantity discounts in PrestaShop v1.3.
