We have used Odoo for a while now, were on v11e. We have a product catalog with about 5000 products divided up into 11 main categories under the ALL category and even those 11 categories have subcategories inside.
We activated/installed the website module and created the default store. We then took a few products (about 20) and did the following:
1. Clicked on "Publish to website" in the product card of the products catalog in the Sales Module
2. Created a few website categories in the website>Configuration>Products>ecommerce categories that a matched the categories of the Sales module Products Catalog
3. We modified the product cards of the published products to have the corresponding ecommerce category within the Sales Module Product Catalog card Sales tab.
But this is a lot of work to do for 5000 categories.
Is there a way to simply make Odoo take all products in the Sales Module Products Catalog and make those categories/subcategories into eCommerce categories instead of going thru those 3 steps for the remaining 4980 products?
You can do that by export and import first for categories and then for products.
- For ecommerce categories, you can get them from product categories to excel template and import them.
- For product, You can export them into excel (need to export external ID) and then change the category in excel and then re-import it again.
