(i) Category ID
Category ID refers to the category code of the product. When editing the batch upload form, each product needs to fill in the correct category code.
(1) The Category of each site is different. Shopee will provide a category code conversion table, which can convert the Category ID of the product to the corresponding site with one click. Since the categories of each site will be adjusted and changed from time to time, the “Category ID Conversion Tool” table will be updated from time to time. Please consult the investment manager for the update time.
(2) The current Category ID of each site will be displayed in the “My Product” interface of the Seller Center. Click “Batch Action” and “Add New Products” in the upper right corner, and you can see the “Category List” in the lower right corner of the interface. Click to view details.
(3) If the product of a certain site is not a prohibited item, but the converted Category is classified as a prohibited item when it is added, which affects sales, the seller should check whether the prohibited products of the corresponding site have been updated in time, and contact their investment manager to obtain the latest prohibited product category list. If there are prohibited products, the seller should remove the relevant products in time. For products that are misclassified as prohibited items due to incorrect classification, the seller should adjust the product classification in time.
(II) How to use the Category Tool
First, fill in the new content form of the site correctly, then copy and paste all the new content on the “Category ID Conversion Tool” form, and click the corresponding site conversion button according to your own needs (click once, click twice will result in an error).
After converting the Category ID (category code), convert the price (price is in local currency unit), and then upload it directly to other sites (new content on the Taiwan site must be translated into Traditional Chinese before it can be uploaded, and other sites can directly upload English).
Indonesia and Thailand sites can directly launch English products first. Products with good sales performance or potential will be translated into local languages by the platform. If the Taiwan site has Chinese product information, it can be used directly according to the above operations.
