Category XML

Sample File for Categories

You can download a sample file here.

Additionally the XSD file to validate can be found here.

Fields

If any node is missing, the file cannot be imported. If the value in a row is invalid, the category cannot be imported.

Generally, the more information we receive, the better the categories can be displayed in our mobile shop, and the higher the conversion rate. If the value of an allowed empty column is invalid, it will be ignored, but the category will still be imported.

Attention

The file encoding must be UTF-8!
