—>RINGS (my input- which shopify changes to JEWELRY after a few days)
----->Determines US tax rates
If I input RINGS - a few days later I come back and Shopify has changed it to JEWELRY. Why is Shopify doing this and how can I prevent it from doing it?
Just a wild guess but it could be changing based off of the UPC you have entered for those products. Again, big guess but if 99% of the stores using that UPC code assign that item as jewelry, then it might automatically populate to that category assuming that is the most correct one.
Handmade - no UPC So I don’t think that is it.
Odd. Ours has changed in the past as well and we thought it was because of the UPC.
