TABLE OF CONTENTS

Overview


Many retailers use promotional type categories on their own eCommerce site such as 'Mothers Day Gifts' or 'Gifts under $50". 


These types of broad, generic categories will usually contain a wide variety of different product types. As a result, you can't accurately assign a mapping rule to them since it will result in products being listed in the wrong marketplace category.



Products In More Than One Retailer Website Category

  • If a product belongs to multiple retailer website categories and one or more of them is a promotional type, you can choose to ignore the promotional category in Omnivore.
    • The product will then be reassigned to another category.

    • You can continue ignoring categories until the product is in the most appropriate category for marketplace listing.

  • Example:
    A pair of women’s jeans belongs to these categories:

    • Mothers Day Sale → ignore

    • On Sale → ignore

    • 25% Off → ignore

    • Denim → ignore

    • Jeans → use this

  • Once only the correct category remains, you can map it to the relevant marketplace category (in this case, Jeans).



How to Ignore a Category

  1. On the page where you map by category, in the 'Ignore' column, click the toggle so that it is green.



  2. You can also view and ignore all of your retailer categories by going to Products > Retailer Categories from the left-hand navigation menu.
