Description
The plugin provides an easy way to automatically assign your woocommerce products to relevant product categories. The plugin looks up your product title, content, excerpt and tags, matches the key words with already available product categories and automatically assigns the product to those relevant product categories.
This plugin will be really helpful if your website has a huge number of products and product categories. The plugin minimizes the effort of manually assigning each and every product to relevant product categories.
For example, if you create a product with a title “IPhone 5S Reviews” and you have product categories like “IPhone”, “Reviews” available, then the product gets automatically assigned to these product categories.

- Compatible with older WordPress versions, down to 3.0.
