Mapping for eBay Store categories

Similar to Creation Profiles, Store Mapping profiles create a connection between BigCommerce product categories and corresponding custom categories of an eBay Store.

Every Store Mapping Profile is based on the selected eBay account. Each eBay account can only have one eBay Store shared across all marketplaces.

Create a Store Mapping Profile

To create a new Store Mapping Profile, navigate to Salestio > eBay > Profiles > Store mapping profiles > Add Store mapping profile.

In the above example, store category "women's tops" will be mapped to eBay store Primary category "Pens > Brush Pens", and Secondary category "Pens > Rollerball Pens". When Salestio creates new listings, they will be placed according to the mapping.

Create new mapping

Each mapping should use a unique set of Conditions. For example, if you want to sell Fine Earrings made from various metal types, creating 2 or more mapping with the Condition 'Category equals Earring' would not work for you, as it can be added only once. In such cases, you might consider adding the products to matching BigCommerce categories. They might be 'Gold Earrings' and 'Silver Earrings' in the case of jewelry. So, the correct conditions here might be 'Category equals Silver Earring' for one mapping, and 'Category equals Gold Earring' for another mapping. The same might be added for rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. This is an example of Jewelry. Depending on what products you want to sell on eBay, Categories, product types, and sets of conditions will vary.

After setting conditions for BigCommerce products, select the corresponding eBay Store category. If new eBay Store categories were created in eBay UI - click Refresh Categories, so they can be selected for the new mapping.

Click 'Add new mapping' for it to appear in the list. Multiple mappings can be added.

After adding all mappings, click Save changes to create the new Store Mapping Profile.

Use the Store Mapping Profile


To enable store mapping, edit the Ebay Profile:

Enable the Allow Store Mapping checkbox and select the previously saved mapping. After making changes, run the Full Revise action for the items that need the update.
