One item linked to different categories.
Completed
Hi,
Currently, it is only possible to link a service item to 1 category. It would be great to link services items to more categories. This would also avoid sellers to duplicate items just to have it in different categories and it will also avoid more uploading data (pics etc) and not slow down the site.
Thanks!

We are working on getting this up soon. Thank you for upvoting this!

Agreed. This absolutely has to be added, perhaps as a Checkbox. A listing could apply to more than 1 category.

I also agree and really need a listing to link to many different categories. Arcadier, are you considering this change in your pipeline?

I think a workaround is to list the listing 2 times under different categories. It's not very scalable but if we're managing the listings our selves it would be easy to do.

Hi everyone,
Thank you for the feedback. At present, items can only be parked under 1 category, but the workaround for your consideration is to use custom fields to tag 1 item to multiple classifications.
For instance, if you have 'black socks' as an item for sale, it could fall under the category of socks, but you can configure checkbox custom fields for merchants to mark 'black socks' as 'men's clothing' or 'women's clothing', or any other classifications. While they will not appear in multiple categories, they can be found using filters. Hope this helps for now.
The suggestion you have raised is definitely a cool feature to have, and with your support and upvotes, we'll put it in future enhancement updates. Thank you!
