Mapping (Category, Brand and Attributes)

The drawer where you translate your product into the marketplace's own language: which category it belongs to, which brand it is and which attributes…

Where to find: Product form → Sales Channels card → the Map / Edit button in the channel row Who it's for: Anyone publishing a product on a marketplace for the first time In short: The drawer where you translate your product into the marketplace's own language: which category it belongs to, which brand it is and which attributes (colour, fabric, warranty…) it has. A product cannot be sent without a category and a brand. If you want, you can let AI fill in everything.

What is it for?

On marketplaces you cannot use your own categories. Trendyol has a fixed category tree, and every category says "this product must carry the following information": shoe size for shoes, size for t-shirts, warranty period for electronics.

Mapping connects your product's information in Treyza with the information the marketplace expects. Once you have done it, the product becomes sendable.

You pick three things:

Marketplace Category — the category the product will be listed under there.
Brand — from the marketplace's brand list.
Attributes — fields that change with the category you picked. Those marked * are required.

Opening the drawer

Scroll down to the Sales Channels card on the product form.
Turn the Publish switch in the channel row on once. The Map / Edit button only appears after a listing record exists for that channel.
Click Map / Edit.

A drawer slides up from the bottom of the screen. Its title says Mapping and shows the product's barcode next to it:

Mapping · 8681234567890

If you saved selections earlier, they are loaded automatically when the drawer opens; you don't start from scratch.

Important note for variant products

If the product has variants, this explanation appears at the top of the drawer:

"This mapping applies to all variants of the product — you don't need to map each variant separately."

In other words, you do not map a product with 24 variants 24 times. You do it once, press Save, and the selection is applied to every variant.

Filling it in with AI

There are two separate AI buttons in the drawer. The difference matters:

Button	Where?	What does it fill?
Auto-map with AI	At the very top of the drawer, inside the dashed box	Category + Brand + Attributes — all at once
Suggest with AI	To the right of the Attributes heading	Only the attributes — you must have picked the category yourself

Auto-map with AI

The dashed box contains the text "Let AI fill category, brand and attributes". Click the button next to it.

The ⓘ icon beside it explains:

"Uses AI to fill the category, brand and attributes in one go based on your product info. You can review and change the selections before saving."

The system reads the product's name, short description and description, finds the most suitable marketplace category and brand, then fills in that category's attributes.

When it finishes: "AI mapping complete ({count} attributes)"

Suggest with AI

Use this if you picked the category yourself and only want the long attribute list filled in. Its explanation:

"Uses AI to auto-fill category attributes based on your product info. You can review the suggestions before saving."

When it finishes: "{count} attributes filled by AI"

If AI cannot find anything

You see this notification:

"AI could not find a match, please select manually"

This usually happens when the product name is too short or vague ("Product 1", "New model"). Enrich the product name and description and try again, or pick the fields manually.

Always review what AI filled in. Suggestions are not saved directly; nothing is final until you press Save. A wrong category leads to your product being rejected.

I get "No active text model is available in your plan" when I press the AI button. AI features depend on your subscription plan. If your plan has no AI, you can fill the fields manually; the whole mapping can be completed without AI.

Marketplace Category

Clicking the Marketplace Category box opens a search field.

Click the box.
Start typing the category you are looking for. You must type at least 2 characters; before that you see: "Type at least 2 characters to search".
Click one of the results.

Results are shown as a full path, so you can be sure you picked the right branch:

Shoes > Women > Sneakers

Things to know:

Only the deepest (product-accepting) categories are listed; intermediate branches do not appear.
At most 50 results are shown. If you can't find it, type a more distinctive word.
If there are no results at all it says "No results".

If you change the category, the attributes you filled in are cleared. Because every category has different attributes, the list is loaded from scratch. Settle the category first, fill the attributes afterwards.

The category is what determines which attributes are required. Its on-screen explanation: "The category determines which attributes (size, colour, etc.) are required, so it must be selected before sending."

Brand

The Brand box is searchable too, but it differs from the category in one way: as soon as you open it you see a list of brands; a search runs once you start typing.

You must pick the brand from the marketplace's list; free text you type yourself is not accepted. Its on-screen explanation:

"The product's brand on the marketplace. It must be chosen from the marketplace brand list; if missing, you may need to apply for the brand in the marketplace panel."

If your brand is not in the list: you have to apply for the brand in the marketplace's own seller panel. Once approved you can search for it here. If it is not your own production, pick the manufacturer's brand.

Attributes

The Attributes section appears the moment you pick a category. The fields here depend entirely on the category you chose: "Shoe size" for shoes, "Fabric type" for t-shirts, "Memory" for phones.

You see two kinds of field:

Field type	How to recognise it	What you do
With predefined options	Clicking opens a dropdown with a search box	You pick a value from the list
Free text	It is a normal text box	You type the value yourself

What does the star (`*`) mean?

The red * next to the field name means the attribute is required.

If you leave required attributes empty, the product is sent but rejected by the marketplace. The error message is: "Missing required attribute…" (see Statuses and Errors).

The ⓘ icon next to a field

Every attribute has a small ⓘ next to it. Hovering over it can show several pieces of information at once:

The explanation you see	What does it mean?
"Required — the product cannot be published on the marketplace without this attribute."	It cannot be left empty.
"Optional — can be left empty."	Up to you.
"Variant-defining: creates options like Colour/Size; this value is sent automatically from your variants."	A field that creates separate options on the marketplace.
"{count} predefined options."	Tells you how many values the dropdown has.
"If no suitable value is listed, you can enter your own."	Custom values are accepted.
"Multiple values can be selected."	The marketplace allows several values in this field.

Attributes on a variant product

On a variant product, variant-defining fields such as Colour and Size are not shown in the list. Instead a grey box explains:

"Variant attributes (Colour, Size) are sent automatically from your variants; you do not need to select them here."

The reason is simple: those values are already defined in your combination table. The system sends each variant's own colour/size to the marketplace automatically.

Red warning: the category does not support variants

If the category you picked has no variant-defining attribute at all, a red warning appears:

"This category has no variant attributes (like Colour/Size); a variant product cannot be sent to it. Please pick the correct subcategory that supports variants."

If you ignore this warning and save, the product is sent but ends in an error. What to do: go back to the category search and pick a more accurate subcategory.

The cause is usually picking too general a category. For example, instead of "Clothing > Women", pick the deepest category such as "Clothing > Women > Dresses".

Saving

At the bottom of the drawer there are the Cancel and Save buttons.

The Save button is disabled until a category and a brand are picked (not clickable). It becomes active once both are selected. If you force it you also get the warning: "Category and brand are required".

When you press Save the following happens in order:

The "Mapping saved" notification appears.
The drawer closes.
The product is sent to the marketplace automatically. You do not need to press Send as well. Shortly afterwards you see the "{count} pushed, {count} failed" notification.

The scope of the mapping you save depends on the product type:

Product type	What does the mapping apply to?
Simple Product	Only that product (its listing in that channel)
Variant Product	All variants of the product

If your product was previously in Rejected or Error status, saving the mapping puts it back to Pending and clears the old error message. So the "fix it and try again" flow works in a single step.

What does "Inherited: {category}" mean?

On a simple product you sometimes see a grey line under the channel row like this:

"Inherited: Women's Shoes"

It means: no mapping has been saved specifically for this product. The product is using a mapping that comes from the store category it belongs to. When it is sent, the marketplace category, brand and attributes defined for that category are used.

Situation	What happens?
The product has its own mapping	Its own mapping is always used. Inheriting is disabled.
The product has no own mapping, but its category does	It is inherited from the category and the screen says Inherited.
Neither exists	The product cannot be sent; the Mapping missing badge appears and sending fails with "No mapping…".

If you want to change the inherited mapping for this product, it is enough to save your own selection with Map / Edit — from the moment you save, your selection replaces the inherited one.

Frequently asked

Do I have to map every product separately? For products in the same category, yes, one by one (on a variant product all variants are handled in one go). The AI button exists to speed this up.

Can I change the mapping later? Yes. Open the drawer again with Map / Edit, change it and press Save. The product is re-sent to the marketplace with the new information.

I changed the category and the attributes I filled in disappeared. That is expected: the new category has different attributes, so the list is reset. Fill them in again or use Suggest with AI.

I can't find the category I'm looking for. Try a shorter, more distinctive word (start with "sneakers" rather than "women's sneakers"). Only the deepest categories are listed; intermediate headings do not appear.

My brand is not in the list. You have to apply for the brand in the marketplace's own seller panel. Until it is approved you cannot send products under that brand.

I pressed Save but the product is still Pending. Sending can take a few seconds; refresh the form. If the status does not change, read the red error text under the row: Statuses and Errors

Do I map separately for different marketplaces? Yes. Every marketplace has its own category tree and brand list; the mapping is separate for each channel row.

Marketplace Selling — Overview — Overview of the marketplace section.
Connecting the Marketplace Account (Trendyol) — Connecting your marketplace account.
Publishing a Product on the Marketplace (Sales Channels Card) — The Sales Channels card, publishing, buffer and price.
