Categories help you organize your product catalog in Sellbrite. They are also required when creating and publishing listings from Sellbrite and make it easier to filter, manage, and update products.
A product can only be assigned to one category at a time.
How Products Get Categorized
If you build your product catalog by running a Listing Import, Sellbrite automatically imports the categories from that sales channel and creates matching categories in Sellbrite. Imported products will retain their existing category assignments.
If you create a product directly in Sellbrite, you must assign a category before the product can be saved.
Create and assign Categories
To view existing categories or create a new one, go to Settings > Product Categories.
To create a category, enter a name in the New Category Name field and select Add.
Creating a category does not automatically assign products to it. After creating the category, you'll need to assign products manually or through a CSV import.
To assign a category to an individual product:
Open the product page
Select a category from the Category dropdown
Select Save
Categorize Products in bulk
If you need to assign categories to multiple products at once, you can use a Product CSV file.
To get started, export your products as a CSV by going to Settings > Export Data. Then select All Data for Products.
Open the CSV file and locate the category_name column.
Enter a new or existing category name for the products you want to update.
You can then copy the value down the column to apply the same category to multiple products at once.
If you are categorizing variation products, be sure to assign categories to the variation products as well.
Once your changes are complete, save the file in .CSV format and import it back into Sellbrite.
