Do you already have your WooCommerce categories and would like to keep using them? We've got you covered, introducing the Category Mapping functionality. With this function, you can connect your WooCommerce categories to the supplier's categories (in this case VidaXL).
You can do this by following these steps:
Log into your WordPress backend
Go to the VidaXL plugin settings
Click on the Category Mapping tab
On the left side, choose your VidaXL category by clicking on Please select.
The list of available categories will be displayed, we've got main categories and subcategories.
Click on the category name to look for the subcategories, when satisfied click on Select.
On the right side, choose your WooCommerce category by clicking on Please select and follow the same steps as before.
Finally, click on Connect.
The VidaXL category is now connected successfully!
(In the above screen recording the Van der Meer plugin is used. But it has the same UX and settings as VidaXL)
Important: it's important to note that only the leaf of the category path is mapped. So for example if you have the following mapping:
VidaXL category: Parent Category > Sub Category 1 > Sub Category 2
to
WooCommerce category: Parent Category > Sub Category 1
In this example, VidaXL Sub Category 2 is mapped to WooCommerce Sub Category 1. Meaning that the entire parent categories from VidaXL are still imported.
If you don't want that, you have to still map VidaXL Sub Category 1 & Parent Category to WooCommerce Sub Category 2.
