🔧 eBay DE - Error : The category selected is not a leaf category.

Error message

The category selected is not a leaf category

La catégorie sélectionnée n'est pas une catégorie feuille.

What does this error mean?

Ebay require products to be assigned to the deepest, most specific category available, known as a "leaf category". This error can occur across all categories when you have mapped your products to a broader parent category instead of navigating down to the final, most specific sub-category.

How to solve this error

• Step 1: Identify the affected products that are currently assigned to parent categories by checking your error report.
• Step 2: Go to the "Categories Mapping" step in Lengow. Expand the category tree and update your mapping to select the most granular sub-category (the leaf level) available, rather than stopping at the parent category.
• Step 3: Perform a manual product push to resynchronize your feed and send the updated category mapping to the marketplace.
