Products import with Subcategories field

[ajaxsoap]

Is there a way to import product with subcategories field?

 

Currently, only the main categories are supported for products import. 

 

 

The reason why i'm asking is, my store has a lot of subcategories and products and a few main categories, it's a tedious work to manually associate every single product in a subcategory.

 

Is there a workaround for this? 

 

Thanks in advance!

The CSV import lets you upload products and associate them with one or more categories.

 

At this point it doesn't matter if the category you name is a main or sub category.

Thanks for the reply Jered!

 

After importing I have to manually associate each product with it's respective subcategory given the main category is included during importing.

On the CSV import page in the back office, you'll find example files for Categories and Products.

 

Use the categories import set up your main and sub categories and then use the product import to import your products and associate them with the appropriate category.

 

There is no need to import and then manually assign - we've imported thousands of products without ever having to manually assign them to categories.
