How does the category mapping work?

In this article, we'll explain how the category mapping in the plugin works.

Updated this week

Before you start publishing products, you'll need to configure the category mapping.

When you connect your shop categories to eBay categories, the products within those shop categories will be published to the corresponding eBay categories.

Connect categories

To do this, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to the eBay plugin settings

  2. Click on the tab Category Mapping

  3. On the left side, please select an eBay category

  4. On the right side, please select your WooCommerce category

  5. Lastly, click on Connect

Your shop category is now connected to the correct eBay category, now you can start publishing products!

Configure category

Certain eBay categories require additional configuration. In these cases, you’ll need to define Mandatory and Optional fields, typically for specific categories like Electronics, Cameras, TVs, and similar items.

Once you’ve connected your WooCommerce category to an eBay category, click on Configure. A pop-up screen will appear, allowing you to set up the Mandatory and Optional fields for that category.
