Automatic Product Categories for WooCommerce vs AutomatorWP – No-Code Workflow Automation, Integration & Webhooks Plugin, now with AI

Save hours of manual work by automating how your WooCommerce products are categorized. Automatic Product Categories helps you keep your store structured, searchable, and up-to-date – whether you’re managing 30 or 3,000 products. Define flexible rules to assign product categories and tags based on product data, events, or schedules – no coding required. Build rules with many condition types (including stock status, whether stock is managed, attribute values, attribute term names, and category lists with is/is not matching), reorder conditions as needed, and use inline help where selections work as multiselects. Example use cases After imports or migrations – bring large catalogs in line by assigning categories and tags from product data as you standardize. Parent and child categories – e.g. when a product is in a child category, automatically add a parent category too. Stock or sales-based merchandising – organize or highlight products using stock status, stock quantity, total sales, or sale state. “New” or “recently updated” collections – use days since created or modified to keep time-based categories or tags accurate. Seasonal or promotional groups – move products in or out of promo categories using titles, tags, attributes, or scheduled runs. More context and ideas on the BerryPress blog.

Details: Automatic Product Categories Pro. 🚀 Pro Features Automatic Product Categories PRO extends the free plugin with stronger rule management, richer conditions, and safer testing. Rule management & workflow 🔥 Dry Run – run a rule and preview what would change without applying changes live 🔥 Run summary – per-product results showing which terms were added or removed. 🔥 Search – search the rules list 🔥 Filters – filter rules by enabled/disabled and by group 🔥 Groups – tag rules with groups (dedicated column + filtering) 🔥 Clone rules and clone conditions in one click 🔥 Import / export rules as JSON from a dedicated admin screen Scheduling 🔥 Hourly and weekly scheduled runs, in addition to daily (free) Pro conditions, match types, and actions You get everything in Available conditions, plus extras aimed at larger or more customized catalogs. Custom taxonomy names (e.g. brand name) – For brands, vendors, and other product taxonomies beyond core categories and tags, you can match the names of assigned terms using the same kinds of rules you already use for category/tag name conditions. (WooCommerce product attributes stay covered by the free attribute conditions above.) Brand value – If your site registers the product_brand taxonomy, choose brands from a searchable list and match them like category value (including options such as is/is not, only these terms, or whether a value is set at all, where the UI offers them). Index – Match products by their position as the rule runs (for example, “skip the first 10 products”). Probability (%) – Each product gets a random chance to match (0-100%). Use it when you want a different random subset of products each time the rule runs. Probability (count) – About N products match each run, chosen at random from your catalog – handy for a small rotating spotlight without maintaining a list by hand. Richer list matching (Pro) – On attribute, category, brand, and similar pick-list conditions, Pro adds stricter options: only these exact terms, or is set / is not set when you care whether a field has any value. Actions on custom taxonomies – Rules can add or remove terms on those same taxonomies (such as brands), not only on WooCommerce categories and tags. UI 🔥 Searchable (SelectWoo) dropdowns for long lists when picking categories, tags, and taxonomy terms Support 🔥 Priority support from the BerryPress team Planned Features: 🔥 Advanced rule logs 🔥 Schedule rule execution on specific dates 🔥 Group conditions (Pro) – in development: organize conditions into groups inside one rule and combine those groups with AND/OR logic, so advanced setups stay readable. This will ship in a future Automatic Product Categories Pro release, not in the free plugin. 👉 Get Pro: Automatic Product Categories Pro Something missing?
