What topics do these e-commerce guides cover?

Our guides cover five main areas: product categorization (17+ industries), product taxonomy standards (8 classification systems), marketplace listing guides (10 major marketplaces), product feed optimization (8 feed types), and data quality & enrichment (8 practical topics).

Who are these guides for?

These guides are designed for e-commerce managers, product data specialists, marketplace sellers, PIM administrators, and anyone responsible for organizing and classifying product catalogs. Whether you manage 100 or 100,000 SKUs, the frameworks and templates scale to your needs.

Are these guides free to use?

Yes, all guides are completely free. We believe that better product data benefits the entire e-commerce ecosystem. Each guide includes category trees, attribute mappings, and classification rules you can use without any account or subscription.

How often are the guides updated?

We review and update guides quarterly to reflect changes in taxonomy standards (e.g., GPC updates its classification annually) and to add new industries and use cases based on user requests.

What is the difference between product categorization and product taxonomy?

Product categorization is the process of assigning individual products to specific categories (e.g., placing a running shoe under Sports > Footwear > Running Shoes). Product taxonomy refers to the hierarchical classification structure itself, often defined by standards like GPC or UNSPSC. Our guides cover both: the structure and the process.

Which taxonomy standard should I use?

It depends on your sales channels and industry. Use GPC for Google Shopping, GS1 GPC for retail and GDSN, UNSPSC for procurement and B2B, eCl@ss for industrial and manufacturing, and ETIM for electrical and technical products. Our taxonomy standards guide compares all 8 standards side by side.

Can product categorization be automated?

Yes. AI-powered tools can analyze product titles, descriptions, and images to automatically assign products to categories. With well-structured training data (which our guides help you create), automated classification typically achieves 90-95% accuracy.

Where should I start if I am new to product data management?

Start with the Product Categorization guide to understand the fundamentals of organizing products into categories. Then, if you sell on marketplaces that require specific standards, explore the Taxonomy Standards guide to find the right classification system for your channels.

How do I handle categorization across multiple marketplaces?

Maintain one master taxonomy internally and create mappings to each marketplace standard. For example, your internal category 'Running Shoes' can map to GPC code 10000043, Amazon Browse Tree node 679255011, and eBay category 95672. A PIM system can manage these mappings automatically.

How many categories should my product catalog have?

There is no universal answer — it depends on your catalog size and diversity. Most effective taxonomies use 3-5 levels of depth. A fashion retailer might have 200-500 categories, while a general marketplace could have 2,000+. Our industry guides provide recommended category counts and depth for each vertical.
