Category feed example | Support Persoo

The Category feed is useful in certain situations, but generally not necessary.

The following fields are mandatory:

categoryID – name of the category, identical to the ones used in the product feed
hierarchy – hierarchy, again identical to the ones used in the product feed
link – link to the category page
hierarchyText – nice text name of the category, that can be displayed in the search suggestions and other places with content

Other fields can be added as needed (e.g. category image link).

Category feed item example:

<categories>
    <category>
        <category_id>386</category_id>
        <hierarchy>24:42:386</hierarchy>
