As a freelancing developer building e-commerce stores and ERP integrations, I kept seeing the same problem: products losing visibility on Google Shopping because of missing or incorrect Google Merchant Center attributes like Google Product Category, Gender, and Age Group.
Finding the right Google Product Category Taxonomy manually is slow and frustrating, while most existing tools are expensive subscription services. So I built a simple bulk-processing tool that maps the correct Taxonomy ID, Gender, and Age Group from a CSV in seconds.
Instead of another monthly subscription, I chose a pay-as-you-go pricing model—you only pay for what you use.

Does it pull taxonomy updates automatically when Google changes their categories, or do you have to re-map everything manually each time?

Hi @rem1219681 , no it does not pull taxonomy updates automatically since google has not updated its taxonomy since 2021. If it does in future then I will release an update. So if the google brings in new categories in future then you will need to remap your categories. But since no one knows when that is going to happen, i thought it won't make sense to create a overkill feature. So you do not need to worry about your Category IDs breaking due to sudden new version releases.

How does this handle products that could fit into multiple categories, and does it let you override the suggestion if you disagree with Google's mapping?

Hi @hayrettinkqn4e lemme answer one by one, 1st- if a product is falling in multiple categories i have implemented a custom AI engine to sort it into the most closely related "this makes sense" category! 2nd- Yes definitely, you can watch the video, where i have explained how the Google's own suggestion put "Dog's Sweater" in "Optics Category" and how i use the app to fix that through shopify, but you can also update through supplemental feed in GMC, which i would not recommend! Show your love with upvotes!

The clean instant mapping is genuinely useful, especially the way it cuts down on hours of trial and error with Google's taxonomy tree. Nice work on shipping something that solves such a specific pain point.
