Using category management configuration tool

Purpose and scope

Category management is built on top of the product import functionality. It allows you to categorize your products by brand, type or any other category you want to use. This gives you power and flexibility to display your products in a way that makes sense for your business processes. The category management configuration tool allows you to:

  • Create, edit, delete and/or make other changes to individual categories

  • Use the category import / export spreadsheet feature
