How to work with category mapping in Sello

In this guide, we will look at mapping your own category to your connected sales channel categories.

If you use a system from which we can fetch categories, you'll see them here. If you don't see your own categories here, email us at support@sello.io and we will evaluate whether we can fetch your source categories or not.

When you have created a connection to at least one sales channel, temporary or live, you can start mapping your own categories to those of the marketplace.

The category mapping is based on a column called source category, which is the category used in your own system.

Once a category is mapped, all products using a specific source category will have the mapped category applied automatically.

Here is a short video detailing how to map your own categories to a sales channel's counterpart:

Instructions:

1. Log into Sello
2. Go to: Settings -> Products -> Categories
3. Find your desired source category and expand its list
4. Click: Select category under your desired sales channel and find an appropriate category

The changes made here are automatically saved and the next time a product using the source category is saved, the mapped category will be applied.
