How to link categories of the shop with categories of the wholesale?

Linking categories allows you to limit the assortment only to selected categories from the wholesale and allows you to automatically assign a new assortment appearing in XML files to the category in the shop.

Before binding the categories, it is necessary to correctly configure the integration according to instructions and the first import of products.

After the download process is complete, open the wholesale edit window (pencil icon) and go to the tab "Category linking" (1).

Assignment of categories is done by selecting the shop category (on the left), and then marking the check boxes for all categories of the wholesale (on the right), from which products should be automatically assigned to it during import (2).

IMPORTANT: Several wholesale categories can be assigned to one shop category. One category of wholesale can be assigned only to one category in the shop. The category association does not transfer products already in the shop to selected categories. In order for the assignment to be carried out automatically, you must delete your assortment and then re-download the products from the wholesale.

IMPORTANT: In order to limit your assortment to only related categories, please go back to the "Configuration" tab and select "Yes" in the option "Download only from related categories". Otherwise, the new assortment from unassigned categories will appear in the hidden category with the prefix _IMPORT
