How to quickly auto-assign categories to a large number of products?

[Loz86]

Hi guys,

I have a large number of products in my store that need categories assigning to them to make them compliant within my Google Merchant Centre.

Does anyone know the best and ideally fastest way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

You must add conditions when creating collections so products will automatically be assigned to a collection if they reach your conditions settings

My recommendations is to ensure all your products have a product type values, because this value will be pushed to Google Merchant Center. Than using feed rules create a rule for each product type and assign a category: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/7450276?hl=en-GB

However, plase note, it is not required to add Google Product Categories. But if you see that Google's auto tagging is wrong, then it is best to self assign it.
