Category Mapping enables you to create a single master category name to be used in place of any number of alternative names that might be found in different feeds. For example, let's say you have 2 feeds containing televisions, but one feed uses the category "TVs", and the other uses "Television". You could create a Category Mapping to import all these products under the single category "Televisions".

Creating a new Category Mapping

1. Click Category Mapping on the admin menu.
2. Enter the name of a new single master category that you wish to use, e.g. "Televisions", and click Add.
3. Enter alternative category names (or sufficient keywords to identify alternatives) into the text box, one per line. You can also specify an exact match by using an equals sign (=) at the start of a line. Click Save to store the new mapping.
4. The new mapping will not take complete effect until all affected feeds have been imported.
