Latest release: Version 1.0.4
Manage Magento categories with a dependable CSV workflow
Category Manager 1.0.4 exports merchant categories below the catalog root. Edit names, URL keys, active and menu flags, descriptions and SEO metadata in a spreadsheet, then import the file. An existing category_id updates that category; a blank ID creates a new category under an existing parent. The export uses default-store values and the same columns as the importer.
- Store-view content:
store_id 0applies default values. Add an existing category ID with another store-view ID to set a translation or override. A default update preserves existing overrides. - Safe validation: malformed rows, unknown IDs, missing names and invalid flags stop the import with a row number. Earlier changes in that file are rolled back.
- Magento category saves: the importer uses the category repository so storefront URL rewrites follow Magento's standard behaviour.
- Product grid: optionally show category IDs and names, using short names or breadcrumb paths.
- Admin permission: the import and export screen has its own ACL resource and accepts CSV files up to 10 MB.
Import steps
- Open System > Data Transfer > Category Import & Export in Magento Admin and download the CSV.
- Edit existing rows or add rows with blank IDs to create categories. Create new categories at
store_id 0first. - Import in staging, review the result, then repeat against a backed-up production catalogue.
The CSV does not move an existing category to another parent. Keep its current parent_id; use Magento's category editor for restructuring. Magento's tree and catalog roots are excluded from export.
Compatibility and guide
The exact 1.0.2 ZIP was installed through Composer, upgraded, compiled, deployed and exercised on Magento Open Source 2.4.9 / PHP 8.5.10. Other editions, PHP versions and custom themes need separate qualification. Read the Category Manager user guide for CSV fields and scope.
Purchase and support
A one-time purchase includes 12 months of updates and support. Renewal is optional and never billed automatically. Eligible standalone extensions may renew at 60% of the then-current regular list price before term end or within 30 days afterward, plus applicable tax. Purchased versions remain usable afterward. See the AgenticEcom licence for the terms governing your order. Support: support@agenticecom.net.
Frequently asked questions
Can I update store-view category names?
Yes. Add a row with the existing category ID and the target store-view ID. Default-store imports preserve other store-view overrides.
What happens if a row is broken?
The import stops with its row number and rolls back earlier changes in that file. Correct the CSV and retry.
Can I move existing categories by changing parent_id?
No. Use Magento's category editor to move an existing category. The CSV can create new categories under an existing parent.
