4. Mapping Dashboard

On your **Category Mapping Dashboard**, you will see several options:

*   In the top right, you'll notice two buttons: **Match By Name From** and **Match By Name To**. When used, these will attempt to find and match the corresponding WooCommerce category with the exact name of the coreSTORE category.
    
*   **Do Not Transmit** checkbox: Prevents any items in the corresponding category from being transmitted.
    
*   In the **Mapping From** and **Mapping To** fields, you can manually assign your preferred categories.
