Tip 1: Use Smart categorization
Smart categorization is a way to speed up the categorization process. Thanks to a powerful machine learning algorithm, we made it possible for your items to be automatically matched to the most likely product category.
Tip 2: Don't use too many 'auto-generated' categories
The categorization in your feed might be very specific. If this is the case, the generate categories functionality might exceed the maximum number of generated categories (which is 35 pages).
However, usually the categorization tree for the platform you're trying to send your items to is often less specific than your own categorization.
Often users set a lot of rules to send many very specific categories to the same category of the export platform. This can cause a lot of unnecessary extra work. In addition to the extra work, completing 35 pages of generated categories probably won't categorize 100% of your items, as the maximum capacity will have been exceeded.
Tip 3: Use the ''Contains'' filter
Instead of randomly matching all of your very specific categories to the same (less-specific) category on the export platform, look for keywords that appear in multiple categories and use the "contains" filter to categorize them.
Tip 4: Check the category count
In the the Categories step you can see how many items are matched per line and inspect those matched items. This will help you write even more efficient category mappings and see if category matches still make sense over time. You can also check if the category mapping works as expected.
