In an XML feed, it is possible to process categories concisely or extensively as product fields.

Concise categories

If you only want to use the category id in Squeezely, you can process the following within each item in the feed:

<category_ids>

<category_id>Pants</category_id>

<category_id>Blue</category_id>

</category_ids>

OR

<category_ids>Blue</category_ids>

<category_ids>Pants</category_ids>

Note: the category id in the ViewCategory event needs to match the category id in Squeezely! In the example above, trousers and blue must be forwarded as category_ids at ViewCategory to be forwarded.

In the overview you will see the following:
