Tips

  • Collection Name import for simple, flat structures.
  • Collection Tree splits values using the selected delimiter (e.g., ->) and assigns products to all levels as separate collections.
  • Always double-check the delimiter when using Collection Tree to ensure proper splitting of levels.
  • If replacing collections, remember that Remove associations will unlink products from all collections first.
