Learn how to resolve category based errors in bulk using this template

The major function of the Missing Category Specific is to resolve errors on your SKUs, so we're able to push them to the market. Occasionally, a SKU will be imported, or created without category information. If this happens in bulk, you aren't going to want to update these missing fields one-by-one. 

Unlike the Category Specific Add/Update template, we'll only give you SKUs that has a missing field that's required by that marketplace. 

If you're looking to update every category field with data, we recommend using the previously mentioned template, as it will display all of your SKU data for a given marketplace. 

Download Templates

To start, you'll want to go to the Bulk Edit Templates page. You can find that under Listings on your menubar. From the dropdown, select Missing Category Specific, and click Download. This template will allow you to pick a specific marketplace, so you're able to refine your results. Keep in mind, not every marketplace in Listing Mirror allows you to edit categories. 

Editing Templates

All fields in yellow are required fields. Any field in yellow that does not have anything in the cell is a missing category specific that needs to be filled out. This spreadsheet makes it very easy to see exactly what needs to be updated. 

You're able to input any information in these fields, so make sure the spelling is correct, and it lines up with the correct SKU. 

From our testing account, here's an example of what a marketplace might look like:

Uploading Templates

Finally, once you've completed editing your template, you'll want to head back to the Bulk Edit Templates page and upload your template. Select Missing Category Specific from the dropdown, then simply hit Upload.

You can check the progress of the upload on the Bulk Upload History page, under reports on the menubar. If there are any errors, you can read about them on your Notification History page.
