Overview

  • If you have a retailer category that does not align well with a single Trade Me marketplace category you can filter the products within that retailer category by keyword to create a rule. For example;
    • The retailer category Tees, Knits and Polos may contain t shirts, sweaters and polo shirts so you can't assign a Trade Me category to this retailer category otherwise you may end up with sweaters listing in the t shirt category
    • If you filter the retailer category by 'Sweater' then choose the Trade Me category Clothing & Fashion > Men > Jerseys & hoodies then all products with Sweater in the title will list under Clothing & Fashion > Men > Jerseys & hoodies. If you filter by tee then all products with Tee can be assigned to the Trade Me category Clothing & Fashion > Men > T-shirts
  • Filtering by keyword and assigning categories will then create a rule. In the above example, any time you add a product with keyword 'Sweater' in the title to your ecommerce store it will automatically be assigned to the Trade Me category Clothing & Fashion > Men > Jerseys & hoodies and list.

  5. Check that the relevant products have a check box, then choose a marketplace category on the right hand side, either search by starting to type or use the category tree and click 'Save Category'
