How to select the right category for a product
Learn what to consider when selecting the appropriate category. See also how and when you can change the categories of your listed products.
Why choosing the right category is important
- Category names indicate what products buyers can find in them. They make it easier for buyers to find what they are looking for.
- We determine the parameters you need to complete in your offer based on the category. This way, we can display your offers when buyers use filters. Learn more about parameters.
Is it necessary to select a category for every product
In many cases, you do not need to do it. When you enter the name or GTIN (EAN) of the product in the listing form and select one of the suggested products — we will automatically assign the correct category to your offer. If you want to change it, click [edit]. Learn more.
If you want to list a product not included in our Catalog, click [continue without selecting product] at the bottom of the page. Pick one of our suggestions or select the category manually.
How to select the right category for a product
- Choose a category that allows you to describe the product as accurately as possible using the available parameters. If you do not find one, you can list the product in the Other category.
- Make sure the name of the product fits the name of the category or other products listed in it.
- List your products in categories that are related to their intended use. Example: list massage candles in a category for candles, and not for massage equipment.
- Make sure to select the correct category when you list:
- spare parts. Example: If you are selling an oven coil, list it as a part (Electronics — Consumer Electronics and Household Appliances — Built-in Household Appliances — Parts) and not as an oven (Electronics — Consumer Electronics and Household Appliances — Built-in Household Appliances — Ovens).
- accessories. Example: If you are selling a tablet case, list it as an accessory (Electronics — Computers — Tablets — Accessories) and not as a tablet (Electronics — Computers — Tablets — Devices).
We are working on a guide to help you navigate the categories and ensure that your products reach the right buyers. You can find the first categories we covered here (available in Polish).
How to change the category in a listed offer
If you list an offer and later decide that the category you have chosen is inappropriate, you can change it in some cases. It will be possible if:
- 12 hours have not passed since you listed the offer
- no one has made a purchase in that offer yet.
In order to change the category:
- Find the offer in the My Assortment tab.
- Click the three dots next to that offer and select [edit].
- Go to the Category section and click Edit.
- Choose the new category and click [save] at the bottom of the page.
