# Marketplaces > Cdiscount > Configuration > Categories - Cdiscount Flux

Use this tab to choose which product categories you want to export to Cdiscount and link them to the **Models** you created.

### How It Works

* **Select Categories:** On the left side, check the boxes for the categories you want to send to Cdiscount. Only products inside checked categories will be exported.
* **Assign Models:** On the right side, choose a model for each selected category. 
* **With a Model:** Cdiscount Flux will use the model settings to create **new product listings** on Cdiscount.
* **Without a Model:** The system will **only update and sync** products that already exist on Cdiscount. It will not create new listings.
* **Product Count:** The number on the right side of each category shows how many products are inside it.

### Time-Saving Shortcuts

* **Bulk Selecting (Shift Key):** Check the box for your first category, hold down the **Shift** key on your keyboard, and check the last category. All categories in between will be selected automatically.
* **Copy Models (Double Arrow):** Click the double arrow icon to quickly assign the same Model to several categories at the same time.

### What is a Model?

Models tell Cdiscount Flux how to match your PrestaShop product details with what Cdiscount requires. 

| 💡 Tip for Beginners: For your first export, only fill out the mandatory required fields (marked in red). You can always come back later to add more details and improve your listings.

#### Managing Your Models

* **Add a Model:** Click the **+ Add a Model** button to start configuring a new model.
* **Automatic Creation:** Use this tool to automatically generate models based on the data already in your shop.
* **Edit a Model:** Click **Edit** next to an existing model to change its settings.
* **Delete a Model:** Click **Delete** to permanently remove a model. A message will pop up asking you to confirm.

---

### Main Settings

* **Model Name:** Type a clear name for this model so you can easily find it later.
* **Mapping Universe:** Select the main high-level category that matches your items on Cdiscount.
* **Cdiscount Category:** Select the exact marketplace category where these products should be listed.

### Price & Shipping Rules

* **Default Price Modifier:** Set an automatic price change (like an increase or decrease) for all items using this model.
* **Price Alignment:** The maximum percentage you will allow the system to lower your price to compete with other sellers.
* **Shipping Modifier Type:** Choose to raise or lower your default shipping costs (for example, entering `-1` lowers the shipping fee by 1 currency unit).
* **Preparation Time:** The number of days you need to package and ship the items (choose between 1 and 10 days maximum).
* **Weight Rule Constraint:** Block heavy products by setting a maximum weight limit in kilograms.

#### Discounts and Rounding

* **Discounts / Specials:** Choose whether to send sale or promotional prices to Cdiscount. If you select **No**, your regular prices will be used.
* **Price Rules on Specials / Discounts:** Select **Yes** if you want your standard price rules to also apply to items that are currently on sale.
* **Smart Rounding:** Turn this on to automatically clean up your prices to make them look more attractive (for example, turning €10.53 into €10.59).

---

### Product Details & Descriptions

* **Product Description Field:** Choose which text from your PrestaShop store to use as the main description on Cdiscount.
* **Marketing Description Field:** Select the text source for Cdiscount's marketing description. This supports rich HTML formatting, but any external website links (URLs) will be automatically removed.
* **Image Limit:** Choose the maximum number of images to send to Cdiscount for each product.
* **Stock Break-Even:** A safety buffer for your stock. If you enter `2`, an item with 5 units in your store will show as having 3 available on Cdiscount. This helps prevent overselling.
* **Product Title Format:** Choose how you want your product titles to look on the marketplace (e.g., Category (Cdiscount), Brand (Manufacturer), Name, Attributes).
* **Default Comment:** Enter a standard note for your listings. If a product already has its own specific comment in your shop, it will overwrite this default text.

---

### Target Audience & Variants

* **Public (Target Audience):** Select who the items are for (such as adults, babies, or children).
* **Gender:** Choose the intended gender for the items (men, women, or unisex).
* **Size:** Select the PrestaShop attribute or field that holds your product sizes.
* **Color:** Select the PrestaShop attribute or field that holds your product colors.

### Specific Data Mapping

This section lets you fill out specific technical details required by Cdiscount. You can use the **Auto-fill** button to let AI suggest matches for these fields, but make sure to check them before saving.

For each row, you will see two main columns:

* **Default Value:** Enter a backup value here. If a product is missing this information in PrestaShop, the system will use this default value instead. For example, if you set the default color to "White," any product without a color option will be listed as White.
* **Features:** Choose a feature from your PrestaShop store (`Catalog > Features`). If this feature is filled out on your product page, Cdiscount Flux will use it.

⚠️ **Note:** If you have configured in the Mappings tab some associations for attributes or features, it will be these matches that will be sent, for example:

    * Your Product sheet contains the value "Dark Blue" for the feature "Color"
    * You specify *Dark Blue > Royal Blue* in the Mappings tab
    * It will be the value *Royal Blue* that will be exported in the Feed for the "Color" feature in this Model.
