starlite - sorry for the delayed response. We'll enable imports of ordered products in an upcoming version.

Regards.

apsona,
In an earlier post in January someone was asking about trying to add or update Category Descriptions in a bulk format. You mentioned that this wasn't available yet.

Can you tell me the current status pleae?
Thanks

Not sure I understand. Categories can be imported and updated via ShopAdmin, and have been for a while now. Perhaps you're alluding to something else?

Regards.

Sorry to be unclear Apsona. It's not Categories I want to bulk update, but Categories Description. Is this possoble?

RedSpinnaker - I'm afraid I still don't understand. The name and description fields of the category are both stored in the categories_description table, and of course ShopAdmin supports that because it lets you import data into categories.

So please clarify. Thanks.

Apsona - I was referring to the post here titled Bulk Upload Category Description,

and your reply,
"You could try Apsona ShopAdmin. It lets you add/update meta tag information for products. It doesn't yet support updating categories, however."

Ah I see. That post is rather out of date - over a year old now. ShopAdmin has come a long way since then. It certainly supports imports and bulk updates of categories now.

Hope this helps.
