Some online marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, or Miinto require using their own categories in the product feed. In Koongo, you can easily map your store categories to the marketplace under the Category Mapping tab.
Please map each of your store categories to a single marketplace category. To get the marketplace category accepted, please map your store categories always to the lowest level of the marketplace category.
Multi category mapping
You can map several store categories to one marketplace category easily in Koongo.
Click the Add button.
Search for a specific keyword within your store category, e.g. "Women". Then, select all "Pants" store categories.
Search for a specific keyword in the marketplace category, e.g. "Belts". Select a specific "Belts & Stationary" marketplace category.
The store categories are mapped to the marketplace category.
Single category mapping
You can map a specific store category to one marketplace category. To get the list of all unmapped categories, please click Add Unmapped Categories button.
All your unmapped categories will be listed in the category mapping dashboard.
Search for a specific keyword in the marketplace category area - e.g. "Dress". Next, select a particular "Dresses" marketplace category.
Next, please map all the store categories you'd like to use in your marketplace product feed. You can use the category filter to select just mapped categories for a specific product feed.
The store category is mapped to the marketplace category.
Category mapping - an additional condition
You can map a specific store category to one marketplace category using an additional condition.
Example: I'd like to map all products in the "Shoes" category that includes the "woman" string in the Name attribute to the "Costume Shoes" marketplace category.
Click the Add button.
Search for a specific keyword in the store category, e.g. "women". Then, select "women" store category.
Click the And button.
Select a specific attribute - e.g. "Name".
Select "contains" option and define value - e.g. "shoes".
Search for a specific keyword in the marketplace category area - e.g. "shoes". Next, select a particular "shoes" marketplace category.
The products from the "Shoes" store category are mapped to the marketplace category if the "Name" attribute includes a specific value.
Add Product Mapping (Advanced)
You can use other attributes than the store category attribute for the marketplace category mapping.
Example: I'd like to map all products that contain a "shoe" value in the Product type attribute to the "Shoes" marketplace category.
Note: A rule created by the "Add Product Mapping (Advanced)" has a higher priority than the "Store Category" rule.
Select the "Add Product Mapping (Advanced)" option from the list.
Select a specific store attribute you'd like to use for category mapping.
You can change the condition from "is" to "contains". Then select a marketplace category you'd like to use.
