Map your categories to OLX
Updated
Category mapping tells Tidelist which OLX category each of your shop categories belongs to.
Load the OLX categories
Press Load all OLX categories once. It runs in the background and takes a few minutes.
Pick a category for each shop category
Type in the search box next to a shop category and choose the OLX category. You can use the suggestion button.
Save the mapping
Press Save mapping. Choices that are not in the last level of the OLX tree are not saved, and you are told how many.
Which categories can I choose?
OLX accepts adverts only in the last level of its category tree, the so-called leaf categories. Tidelist shows only those, so you cannot map to a category where OLX would refuse the advert. A product uses the nearest mapped category: if a subcategory is not mapped, the category above it is used.
The category list
Tidelist reads the category list from your OLX site and keeps it for seven days. Until it is loaded, a short built-in list of fashion categories for Bulgaria is used. For other countries, load the list first: it needs your connected OLX app.
Suggestions
The suggestion button proposes an OLX category by comparing names. You always decide: nothing is saved until you press Save mapping.
Products without a mapped category
A product whose category is not mapped cannot be published. The preview says so: “Not mapped: this product has no OLX category. Set it in the category mapping.”
