Products & categories

Submitted by coyote on Wed, 2008-03-05 01:14 in

Hello

I wonder

if i add a xml merchant in my db

this xml provides let 's say 10 categories

so my tapestry has 10 categories with products inside

then i add a second xml merchant with products but no categories

where these new products will go ?

i mean will they randomly go in categories ?

Thanks for your answer

Hi,

Products without a category will not be listed under any category - they will only appear when you search for them; or browse by merchant.

Cheers,
David.

Hi David,

Thank you for your answer

I don't understand "category mapping" in the admin

If i create a new category, which products will come inside ?

Hi,

Category mapping helps you when different merchants use slightly different names for the same category.

For example, if Merchant A's feed has products with a category "Televisions", and Merchant B's feed has products with a category "TV", you can make them the same using Category Mapping.

If you create a new category called "Televisions", and then on the configuration page you add "TV", any product that has the category "Televisions" or "TV" will be imported with the category "Television"....

Cheers,
David.
