Difference between Default and Associated Categories?


Recommended Posts

On the product screen/edit, what is the difference between the Associated categories (the ones created in PS) and the Default category. The shop I have has a OpenERP connector that 'created' a default category. Would the reason for the Default category be for the sole purpose when using accounting software to sync with?

Associated categories - all categories, in which you will find this product.

Here's what the official PS guide has to say about Default category.

 

The "Default category" selector is useful when an article is filed under several categories. It serves mainly to clarify which category to use in case your customer arrives at your site from a search engine, since the name of the category will appear in the product's URL.

Are there any answers to my inquiry above? Does the default category or would the default category 'mess' up the sync if changed if the PS is tied into a connector for a 3rd party software such as Quickbooks or OpenERP?

Well, I think it all depends on how the module is written..I have never worked with Quickbooks or OpenERP, so I don't know what their files look like, but it would only make sense to export the default category. Ask the authors of the module, they will surely know.
