Category Mapping

Overview

Category mapping creates a clear, multi-level category tree (for example, Electronics → Wearables → Smartwatches). Each category links to its parent and children. This keeps your catalog organized and easy to navigate. It also improves search accuracy. You can apply templates or automated workflows based on a category’s position in the tree. As you add more products, simply add or rename branches. This keeps your site user-friendly and your team’s work scalable.

Example of a Category Tree:

• Electronics
  • Computers & Accessories
    • Laptops
    • Desktops
  • Mobiles & Tablets
    • Smartphones
