Description
This plugin allows WooCommerce store owners to create WooCommerce categories in bulk. You just have to enter categories separated by commas, the parent category in which you want to add all those categories, a description if any and the display type.
You can also create categories in Parent-Child hierarchy by using >> between levels. e.g Parent A>>Child A
Also, at the time of creating categories you can assign them to selected products.
