Importing Questions:
1. When creating a CSV file and adding the columns category_id, category_parent_id how do we know what ID# to put if there are already existing IDs?

2. Can we just have a CSV file with only category_id, category_parent_id, category_name?

Exporting Questions:
3. Is there a way to export a category/sub-category list to be able to reimport into another Hikashop?

4. How many levels of sub-categories are possible

Thanks!

Hi,

HikaShop doesn't support the category_id and category_parent_id columns in its CSV import page.
However, you can import categories with it.
For that, you need to use the "categories" and "parent_category" coumn as explained in our import documentation:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/7...import.html#category
If you click on the "export" button of the products listing, the CSV file you'll get will contain first your categories tree at the top of the CSV. You can import that CSV elsewhere to get the categories and products data.
HikaShop has no limit on the number of levels of categories and the export/import doesn't have a limit either.
