New to shopify. I'm trying to import my products and I keep getting "invalid product category". I've tried using both the number and text from the Shopify taxonomy page - the error remains. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? For clarity, I assume it's complaining about col E of the csv titled "Product Category".
Here's the text from the error screen:
Product Category Home & Garden > Household Supplies > Waste Containment > Trash Cans & Wastebaskets
Product Type Trash Receptacle
Try these steps to fix the issue:
Remove Extra Spaces
Check Separator
Check for Typos
Verify Taxonomy
Identify Parent Category
