# Import Filters - Explanation

Import Filters allow you to choose exactly which products you want to import into your store, based on your business preferences (brands, categories, warehouses, etc.).

#### Important Notes Before You Start

* After selecting your desired filters, you must click: Apply Filters → Import Products
This will start the product import process.

* If you want to add new filters and keep your previous selection, simply select the new filters while keeping the previous ones checked, then click: Apply Filters → Import Products.

* If you wish to remove certain products, simply unselect the corresponding filters and apply the changes.

Most important step: Every time you make changes to the filters, you must click Apply Filters and then Import Products for the update to take effect.

### Category Mapping Reminder
If you are using Category Mapping:
* You must first create the categories in your store (For Shopify users: create manual collections).
* Then connect our Retailer Categories to your store categories inside:
Category Mapping
Please note:
* In Import Filters → Categories, once you select specific categories,
* When you navigate to Category Mapping, you will only see the categories you selected in the filters.
This helps you map only the categories you are importing.
