Importing Categories only

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Unfortunately, it is not possible to import Categories only (although this makes sense and might be included in a future release).  Currently, the following 4 fields are REQUIRED for any new Import:
SKU
Product Name
Description
On-line Price
... so, there is no way to Import only the Categories.

	Hello I read everything I could about importing products and no where did I find information about importing categories only. I did read another post that importing categories was not possible, but the post was about a year old. So I was wondering if this were still the case - that I must hand enter all categories and subcategories, unless I create them during a product import, which I did see. And under this scenario, I would need to go back and add meta information by hand. Can anyone or EI confirm or deny this understanding?
