# CSV import questions.

 * Hello, I am about to begin a migration from another cart to Woocommerce through
   the [CSV import](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Product-CSV-Import-Schema).
   This is for a store with ~5000 products.
 * I am confused about several things regarding this import, even though the CSV
   is almost ready to import.
 * 1. Is it possible to assign more than one Category to each product. How do I 
   do it? Is a mere Comma between each category enough?
    2. Would I need to create
   Categories, Taxes & Attributes before starting the import or would they get created
   as a part of the import process. 3. There are upto 5 attributes on some products.
   I have added additional columns as “Attribute 3/4/5 name/values/visible”. This
   is the correct way, right?
 * Please help.

 * Hi [@asg1123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asg1123/)!

 * Yes, and you are correct that you just use commas to separate them.
 * > 2. Would I need to create Categories, Taxes & Attributes before starting the

 * You would need to add categories and tax classes separately and match the IDs
   in the imported products. Attributes can be imported with the products.
 * > 3. There are upto 5 attributes on some products. I have added additional columns
   > as “Attribute 3/4/5 name/values/visible”. This is the correct way, right?
 * Yes. Just to make sure we’re on the same page here: Each attribute has 5 columns
   associated with it: Name, Value(s), Default, Visible, and Global. Each one is
   required for each attribute. The columns are named, for example, `Attribute 1
   name`, `Attribute 1 value(s)`, `Attribute 2 name`, `Atribute 2 value(s)`, etc.
   You can see an example in our example CSV [here](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/master/sample-data/sample_products.csv)
