Cart-Power Add-On: Import and Export of Categories

Dear friends!

Please welcome our Import and Export of Categories add-on!

Demo Eng

Automate your catalog management! This add-on allows you to create, update, and export hundreds of product categories. Save hours of routine work using familiar CSV spreadsheets.


Forget about adding categories one by one manually! Our add-on for CS-Cart unlocks new possibilities for rapid management of your catalog’s structure.


Key Features:

Bulk Import & Export

Upload and download category data in CSV format for easy editing and synchronization between different stores.


Update or Create Categories

Categories are automatically assigned a unique category code, which is used to match data during import, enabling you to update data in existing categories in bulck. If a category ID is missing in the import file, a new category is created.


Keeping Catalog Structure

The import process keeps the entire category hierarchy, except in rare cases where it’s not possible.


Status Configuration

Set a unified status for all new categories created during import (e.g., “Hidden”), or use the values from your import file.


Built-in Safety

Automated backup before import ensures you can always restore the original category structure in case of an error.


Perfect for:

  1. Initially populating your catalog when launching a new store.
  2. Migrating a category structure from an existing store to a new one.
  3. Mass updating of any category data, for example, SEO parameters for all categories at once.
  4. Quickly fixing errors and making global changes to the catalog structure.
