Feature · Shopify categories
The right Shopify category for every product.
Categories from Shopify's own taxonomy, each with a confidence rating.
A product's category tells marketplaces, ad platforms and AI what it is, and decides which attributes it can have. Pelican finds the best match for every uncategorised product.
- Shopify's own product taxonomy
- A confidence rating on every suggestion
- Unlocks attributes and the Google category
Confidence, not guesswork.
Finds the uncategorised
Every product with no category, or sitting in "Uncategorized".
Picks from the real taxonomy
The best match from Shopify's taxonomy, chosen from the title, type and tags.
Kept in its lane
Suggestions are constrained by product type, so knitwear can't land in Home & Garden.
A rating on every match
Accept the confident ones in bulk and look at the rest.
The Google category, for free
Switch it on and the matching Google product category is looked up, not guessed.
A background job
Suggests a category for every product without one. On automatic, it only applies the ones it's highly confident about.
“Product Pelican found a lot of improvements on my product pages and all that new category data is stored natively in Shopify.”
The category is saved to the product's native Shopify category field.
Questions about categories.
Why do categories matter so much?
Colour, size and material are defined per category, so there's nothing to fill until one is set. An uncategorised product also loses 30% of its GEO score.
Does it set the Google product category too?
It can. Tick Google Product Category on the Category prompt.
Can it run automatically?
Yes. The categories job queues suggestions, or applies the highly confident ones and leaves the rest for you. It never changes a category you've set.
