You can update product categories, add subcategories, and assign products for easier classification and search capabilities. This will create a better user experience and make it easier for customers to place orders on your B2B store.
Important: All new B2B stores created after 12 May 2024, will now have Product Groups from Unleashed pre-populated as Categories and the assigned products will be linked in the B2B store.

B2B: Using Product Categories
Re-Importing Product Groups from Unleashed
IMPORTANT! You must ONLY re-import product groups when you start building your B2B categories. If you import product groups after you have created B2B categories and subcategories, all your existing categories will be deleted and replaced with the product groups from Unleashed.
If you have created product groups in Unleashed and want to import them to start building your B2B Portal categories, then click Import
The Unleashed product groups will be imported and displayed in the B2B Portal as Categories and the products will be assigned automatically.
Please note that currently Sub – groups will not be imported into B2B.
Any changes you make to the Categories will not affect the product groups in Unleashed. The Categories are applicable only for your B2B store(s).
If you have imported your product groups initially and then add more product groups in Unleashed, you CANNOT import only the updated product groups. All your existing categories will be deleted and replaced with the product groups from Unleashed.
