Import/Export - Categories for CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor

< h2>Export/Import-category for CS-Cart and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor

The module allows you to export all categories along with subcategories from one site and import them to another, regardless of which platform both sites are created on.  

Description

The Tree category is one of the most important parts of an online store or marketplace. The thoughtful and logical tree category allows customers to quickly find the right products. The development of category trees may take a little time, and as the business expands, it may be supplemented with new items and sections.

the process of setting up a new category tree alone should not concern buyers, so it is better to perform all the intermediate steps on test versions of the site, and only transfer the window version to the main one.

Also, a lot of hassle is associated with moving the site to a new domain or even to a new CMS, when you need to move the category tree infrequently, but completely, with all subcategories 2, 3 and even more orders.

When a new seller comes to the marketplace who deals with products that have never been presented on the site before, new categories must also be added. And often, at the same time, in order to develop its own hierarchy of categories, it can completely copy from the seller, keeping him well acquainted with the features of its product.

it is literally assumed that in all these cases, creating each category and subcategory comes manually, and it takes a very long time. Our module is available in a few clicks of transferring the category tree from the test platform to the main one.

< h3>Module functionality

With the help of the "Export/Import category" module, you can export a category tree with all subcategories and settings in a few clicks and import it to another site just as quickly and simply.

You can also copy the sales category tree and add it to your all category tree in a few clicks. Sales will quickly be able to distribute their goods into the categories of the marketplace and start trading them.
