    Hello, I am about to begin a migration from another cart to Woocommerce through the CSV import. This is for a store with ~5000 products.

    I am confused about several things regarding this import, even though the CSV is almost ready to import.

    1. Is it possible to assign more than one Category to each product. How do I do it? Is a mere Comma between each category enough?
    2. Would I need to create Categories, Taxes & Attributes before starting the import or would they get created as a part of the import process.
    3. There are upto 5 attributes on some products. I have added additional columns as “Attribute 3/4/5 name/values/visible”. This is the correct way, right?

    Please help.

  • Hi @asg1123!

    1. Is it possible to assign more than one Category to each product. How do I do it? Is a mere Comma between each category enough?

    Yes, and you are correct that you just use commas to separate them.

    2. Would I need to create Categories, Taxes & Attributes before starting the import or would they get created as a part of the import process.

    You would need to add categories and tax classes separately and match the IDs in the imported products. Attributes can be imported with the products.

    3. There are upto 5 attributes on some products. I have added additional columns as “Attribute 3/4/5 name/values/visible”. This is the correct way, right?

    Yes. Just to make sure we’re on the same page here: Each attribute has 5 columns associated with it: Name, Value(s), Default, Visible, and Global. Each one is required for each attribute. The columns are named, for example, Attribute 1 name, Attribute 1 value(s), Attribute 2 name, Atribute 2 value(s), etc. You can see an example in our example CSV here
