3. Hover on Options and select Products from the menu.
   
   
   
4. The category's products will be displayed, with an indicator to show whether this category is the product's primary location (for SEO & breadcrumb purposes). 
   
   
   
5. To add a product, enter the code or description in the lookup, then select it from the suggestions. Hit Enter or click 'Add Product' to add it to the list.
   (If you prefer to import products in bulk, skip ahead to the next section.)
   
   
   
6. Repeat step 5 to add more products to the category if required.

5. Follow the steps above, but at step 5, click Import Products.

6. Click 'Download Example Template' to generate a sample .csv file. 

7. Paste your own product data into the sheet.

• All you need is the product code, but you can also nominate whether this category should be the product's primary category (true/false or yes/no).
• A blank entry in the 'Primary' column will be treated as false, but if the product has no other category locations, this category will become its primary by default. 
• The primary category determines the breadcrumb on the product detail page and related product SEO data will link to this category. 

8. Save the .csv file somewhere.

9. Select your Import Type: 

Append (default) - adds the products in your .csv to any products already in the category

Overwrite - deletes any products in the category and replaces them with the ones in your .csv

10. Click Select files to browse to your saved .csv. The moment you select your file, the import will begin.


 
The import log will advise of success or warn you of errors. Duplicate and invalid products will be skipped.

11. Click Back to return to the category product list. 

12. Click Save or Save and Exit.
