Multistore URL Rewrite Import
-----------------------------

[](#multistore-url-rewrite-import)

- Importer supports multistore url\_key, just note that if the file contains only default store row for a new category, only one entry for defualt store is stored in the **catalog\_product\_entity\_varchar** table and a key is stored in the **url\_rewrite** table for all stores.
- When updating this category with a new key for this category, it will be changed for all stores.
- To avoid this problem, the default line can be omitted and only the specific store imported.

### Special case

[](#special-case)

In some cases the default row must be included in the product file, in which case, if there are no entries in the varchar for the stores already, the url\_rewrite for all stores is updated based on what is in the default column.

### Possible solution

[](#possible-solution)

- To solve the problem only the default store and the specific store should be imported and so the category will only be imported for the store and the specific store.
- import should always include all stores in a new category, so each store has an entry in the **catalog\_product\_entity\_varchar** table for the **url\_key** attribute.
- If the category is only to be updated in a store, the default row must be supplied with the specific store, then the url\_rewrtie and url\_key are updated in the Varchar table.
