Shop Category Model - Cobi Documentation

Important: The shop category model has dependencies on both the shop and category models. The shop_id field must reference an existing shop and the category_id field must reference an existing category. It’s recommended to upload shop and category data before uploading shop category mappings.

Best Practices

UUID Format: Use valid UUID v4 format for all ID fields
Data Dependencies: Ensure shop_id references an existing shop and category_id references an existing category
Region Codes: Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes (e.g., “CA” for Canada, “US” for United States)
Data Consistency: Ensure consistent data across all shop category mapping records
