Something like "Category 1 - Sub category 1 - Sub category 2" Best regards, Alex, Beeldstudio")* Hi, Usually, you can do like that: product_code,categories my_prod1,"category1;category2" So you don't specify the parent categories as the system gets them automatically. However, if several categories have the same name, you will have to use either the category id or the category namekey in your CSV. These are always unique so that way the system will be able to set them apart.
