When your product catalog spans multiple marketplaces, ensuring its category alignment is essential. ExportYourStore helps streamline this process with a powerful Categories Mapper, perfect for both automated and manual mapping.
1. AIāPowered Category Mapping
ExportYourStore intelligently matches your sourceāstore categories to the nearest equivalent on each target marketplaceāhelping you get started instantly.
This feature leverages artificial intelligence to automatically suggest the most appropriate target categories for your products, further simplifying the mapping process and reducing manual effort.
To use AI Category Mapping:
Navigate to Products Page ā Categories Mapper
Click Map with AI button either bulk or individual mapping.
When using the bulk category mapping button, the system will automatically assign categories based on AI suggestions. If you map categories individually, youāll be shown a list of suggested categories to choose from manually.
Review and approve or adjust the AIās picks before applying them.
This saves you time and reduces manual errors.
2. Manual Category Mapping

In the new dialog, pick the corresponding target category and click Set Selected Category.
