⚠️ Please note: Categories must be uploaded into the system by the Bidlogix Support team. Contact us at [email protected] and provide your category list in the format described below.
Why Categories Are Important
Categories are essential when uploading auctions and items into the software. For example:
When creating individual items, you’ll select the category by title.
When using bulk upload, you’ll refer to the category by its ID.
Categories will appear:
In your Item List view:
In the Item Edit view:
They also power important features such as Filtering and Search, which help your bidders find relevant items more easily. Which is why it is very important to provide these to us in the correct format.
Categories are shown:
On the Search page;
Under the Categories filter at the top of auction pages:
