Paste a product title or description. Get its ecommerce category from a taxonomy of 1,360, plus tags that help shoppers search, filter and find. Built for catalog teams, marketplaces and analytics platforms.
A product in the wrong category is invisible to anyone browsing the right one. Clean categories and tags improve search, navigation and the decisions shoppers make.
Tags give the search box inside your store more words to match, so shoppers find products even when they describe them differently.
Consistent categories make menus and filters trustworthy, so shoppers keep browsing instead of leaving.
Sales by category only means something when categories are right, which matters for every buying and pricing decision.
One answers "where does this belong". The other answers "what words describe it". Most catalogs need both.

One person who signs off edge cases before anything is imported.
The tool reads the text you give it. Richer text produces more precise categories and more useful tags.

Whether you keep our categories as they are or map them to your own, these principles keep the tree usable as it grows.
"Sofas" not "Seating Solutions". Use words people type into search.
A product's main category should be obvious. Use tags for everything else.
Deeper trees hide products. Shallower trees overload pages.
A category with 2 products and one with 2,000 at the same level is a sign to split or merge.
Renaming categories often breaks links, bookmarks and reports. Change rarely and deliberately.
Leave space for the product types you plan to add next year.
Manual categorization and tagging often takes a minute or more per product once you include checking and typing tags.
Your own numbers depend on catalog complexity. The direction never changes.

Build "gift ideas" or "barista tools" pages from tags automatically.
Target emails by the kinds of products customers browsed.

Hundreds of products dumped into a catch-all category nobody browses and nobody owns.
"Coffee Gear" and "Coffee Equipment" splitting the same products and confusing shoppers.
Each supplier's own naming leaking into your tree with every new feed.

Store owners, catalog managers, marketplace operators, feed managers, agencies and ecommerce analytics platforms.
