Woocommerce xml product category feed

Hi,

I am building a woocommerce site (using storefront)

My suppliers have provided me with 2 xml feeds. One for products and one for product categories.

I am using WPallimport to upload them into my site – but I don’t know how to make the products go into the product categories.

The category xml gives me a category id, a category name and a description.

My product xml gives me the category id that each product goes into.

What is happening is that the product xml is just creating a load of new product categoies with the name of the category as the value of the category id (eg they are in a product category with the name “235” etc – which is the category id)

So what I need help with is: which order do I add the two feeds on to my site (products first or product categories first). And how do I adjust the setting so that the product id supplied with the product xml links my products to the correct categories.

Thanks in advance – this has totally flummoxed me and the xml provider isn’t offering any support.
