Automated Category
Automated Category addon for CS-Cart allows users to create categories with specific conditions effortlessly. Simply select your desired categories.
The Automated Category add-on for CS-Cart lets store owners build categories that fill themselves based on rules instead of manual product assignment. You choose a category, set conditions, and once the category is activated any product that matches those conditions appears in it automatically on the storefront. Conditions can be based on product attributes such as price, product amount, popularity, sales, review count, average rating, discount, name, vendor, weight, availability, image count, search words, free shipping, tags, and creation or update time. It is aimed at merchants who want to keep categories organized and up to date without editing product-to-category links by hand.
The Automated Category Addon for CS-Cart helps users create categories based on set conditions easily. Just select the desired category, and products that match the chosen conditions will appear automatically once the category is activated. Users can then visit the storefront to view products arranged dynamically in that category, making browsing smoother. This addon makes product categorization simple and efficient, improving both admin management and the customer shopping experience.
It also keeps the store organized by automatically grouping products based on their features like price, sales, rating, or popularity. This automation saves time, reduces manual work, and ensures customers always see updated and relevant products in each category for a better shopping experience.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Automated Category add-on decide which products appear in a category?
You set one or more conditions on the category, and every product that matches those conditions is added automatically once the category is activated. As your catalog changes, matching products are grouped into the category without manual assignment.
What conditions can I use to build an automated category?
Supported conditions include price, product amount, popularity, product sales, review count, average rating, discount, product name, vendor, weight, availability, image count, search words, free shipping, tags, and creation or update time. You can combine these to control exactly which products show up.
Can any existing category be made automated, or only new ones?
Any category can be designated as a virtual (automated) category. You select the category you want and apply conditions to it, so both new and existing categories can be turned into rule-based ones.
