Module 4: Categorizing Products
The Category Manager helps you define the categories
for your WebStore and assign products to them. This
can be a combination of the merchant’s products and
Associates products.
Products must be in the catalog for them to be
searchable, browsable, or recommended on the
WebStore.
Step 1: Manage your Categories
Step 1 of Category Manager allows you to easily add, remove, edit and rearrange categories.
Step 2: Assign Products to Categories
There are 5 tabs in Step 2 of Category Manager
1.
My Products:
This tab displays all merchant’s products.
2.
Unassigned Products:
This tab displays all products that are not currently assigned to a
category.
3.
Category:
This tab displays products in the selected category. You can change the category
using the breadcrumbs.
4.
Search:
This tab allows you to search for products based on keyword. You can also search for
Amazon Associates products using this tab.
5. Associate
Products:
This tab displays all Amazon Associates products in your catalog.
6.
Excel Upload:
This tab allows you upload an Excel file with your product to category mappings.
In each of these tabs you can use the Export to Excel link to generate an Excel file with products in a
given tab.
Associates Products
Associates products are a valuable tool to help merchants increase their product selection. Merchants
earn referral fees for selling Associates products.
Note:
Your site must be published in order for your Category Manager changes to be visible on
your WebStore.
