Import of products & product categories

tanuja gaikwad asked on June 18, 2014 04:17

I have 20,000+ products list in excel database which I want to import in K8. Also there are 601 product categories with depth of 10. Requirement is to import all product categories & products making sure that products are assigned to appropriate category on import. Please guide how this can be done?

There are 3 tables in excel Product Master, Category Master & Product- category mapping. Please advice.

Highly recommend NOT importing directly into the tables. Use the Kentico Import Toolkit (KIT). KIT will allow you to perform you import and map the fields and do all the other backend items that are needed. Whereas if you simply import into the tables, you'll have 20,000+ products that cannot be used in the CMS because other pieces were not created in the database.
