Excerpt

If you maintain your product & category structure in the CMS, there are 2 ways you can add products to categories:

  1. go via the Product itself and add it into one or more categories, or 
  2. go via the Category and add multiple products to it. 

This article will outline method 2.

For information on method 1, see this article - Adding Products to Categories via Product Maintenance.
