Trade Me category changes: Electronics & Photography

Today Trade Me made a change to the categories in the Electronics & photography section.

Although OMINS updates categories automatically the instant it detects a change, there is still the task of updating your products to match the new categories.  We understand this can take a bit of time, so we thought of how to best solve the problem…

We considered providing a list of changed categories to help customers adjust their products, but decided that just providing a list isn’t good enough.

So instead, we’ve devised a way to automatically correct your products when this happens.   This means that whenever Trade Me makes a category change, OMINS will automatically adjust your products to match up with the new categories and your products will continue listing without a hitch.

We’ll implement this feature within the next week, so next time a category change happens you probably won’t even notice!  In the mean time, we’ll run the script manually to update everyone’s categories due to this change so everyone’s products will continue to list.

Just another way OMINS saves you time.
