Sellbrite helps you stay organized with Product Categories. Categories are essential for creating and publishing new listings from Sellbrite. They also make it easier to filter and manage your products when editing product information.
NOTE: Products can only be assigned to one category.
How Do My Products Get Categorized?
If you built your product catalog by running a listing import, Sellbrite will automatically pull the categories used in that channel and create them in Sellbrite. The imported products will retain their original categories, ensuring consistent organization. Alternatively, when you create a new product directly in Sellbrite, you must assign it to a category before saving.
How Do I Assign Products to a New Category?
Products can be recategorized directly in Sellbrite or through a Product CSV Spreadsheet. If you need to recategorize products in bulk, using a CSV spreadsheet will be the most effective way to do this.
To categorize your Products in Sellbrite, click Settings > Product Categories to view all existing categories and create news ones. At the bottom of the page, enter your new category in the 'New Category Name' field. Once you're done click 'Add.' Doing this will only create the category, so you'll still need to assign your products to this category.
You can also do this manually within Sellbrite by opening a product page and clicking on the 'Category' dropdown to select a new category for a product. Once you have selected a new category, simply click 'Save.'
Recategorizing Your Products in Bulk
You can add new categories or recategorize products using a Product CSV spreadsheet. To get started, export your products as a CSV by going to Settings > Export Data. Select 'All Data' for 'Products.'
Open the CSV file and locate the 'category name' column (column K). Add a new or existing category to this cell and drag the cell downward by click on its bottom-right corner to apply this category to multiple products at once. Be sure to apply a category to your variation products as well.
