Ready to streamline your product categorization? Here’s how to get started with Taxonomy Matcher in just a few steps:

Step 1: Sign Up / Log In

If you haven't already, register for a free account or log in to your existing account. Your first 5 product matches are on us!

Step 2: Prepare Your Product Data

You need your product data in a simple CSV format with columns for id, title, and description. Make sure to use a semicolon (;) as the separator.

id;title;description
101;Organic Cotton T-Shirt;Soft, breathable crew-neck t-shirt made from 100% organic cotton.
102;Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones;Over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation and Bluetooth 5.0.

Titles and descriptions longer than 2000 characters will be automatically truncated.

Step 3: Go to the Matcher

Navigate to the Matcher page within the application.

Step 4: Input Your Data

  • Option A: Paste Data: Select "Paste CSV Data" and paste your prepared CSV content directly into the text area.
  • Option B: Upload File: Select "Upload CSV File" and choose your .csv file.

Step 5: Choose Your Taxonomy (Optional)

  • Default: If you want to match against the standard Google Product Taxonomy, simply leave the "Custom Taxonomy" section empty.
  • Custom: If you have your own taxonomy (e.g., for Amazon, Otto, or internal use), click "Choose File" and upload your .txt file. Remember to format it with levels separated by >. Download an example here.

Step 6: Start Matching

Click the "Start Matching" button. The AI will process your products.

Step 7: View & Export Results

Once processing is complete, the matched categories will appear in a table on the page. You can review them directly or go to your Dashboard to view your full match history and download the results in CSV or JSON format.

That's it! You've successfully categorized your products using AI.
