Loading multiple product groups

    Perhaps my question is from the category of “for beginners”. But I want to clarify how to do it correctly.

    For example: I have a file that contains 100 categories. I imported it by reference. I selected one category and uploaded all the products.

    Now I want to go to the second category and upload all its products to the site using the same import file.

    What should I do? Do I have to load all one hundred categories in this way, thereby increasing the size of the database? After all, I will have a hundred thousand imports?

    P.S. I can’t upload a single file, because the description generation for each category of the product group is different.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @ilyapokrov,

    I’m not sure if I fully understand why it’s necessary to upload only 1 category of products at a time. Is it due to the structure of the file or something? Can you elaborate a bit and provide some examples of the data (you can use dummy data if necessary)?

    @wpallimport,
    This is necessary for two reasons.
    1) There are 1000 categories in the file. Each of them contains 100 products and a minimum of information about each product. To avoid creating unnecessary and empty products on my site that will never bring me traffic, I act consistently. I upload one category of goods, bring it in order, manually add a description and photos. Only after that I want to start adding the next product category.
    2) I generate a description for each product group is different. For example:
    Category “phone”. Description – a beautiful phone (brand, model) fits in your pocket, etc.
    Category “scooter”. Description – a fast scooter (make, model) suitable for children, etc.

    Hi @ilyapokrov,

    Thanks for clarifying.

    You can do this with an XPath filter: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/advanced/filtering-with-xpath/. You would add a filter that makes sure only the category you’re wanting is imported. Then, when you’re ready, you can edit the filter via Manage Imports -> Import Settings -> XPath (see: https://d.pr/i/ozskAO) to change it to the next category, then save and re-run the import.

    I’m marking this as resolved since we haven’t heard back in a while. You can follow up in this thread if you still have questions.
