### Category Selection & Profile Mapping

* **Choose Categories:** Select the checkboxes next to the categories you want to export. Only products belonging to enabled categories will be synchronized with Amazon.
* **Profile Mapping:** Assign a previously configured Profile (e.g., *Mug*, *Shirt*) to each category using the dropdown menu.
* **Synchronization Mode:** Categories with an assigned Profile will be used for both **Product Creation** and offer synchronization. Selected categories without an assigned Profile will only synchronize **Offers** for existing products on Amazon.
