The product has several profiles in several categories

Error message:


Product “123” has several profiles in several categories !




Why this error occurs


The module cannot determine which profile to use because:


  • The product is assigned to multiple categories
  • These categories are associated with different profiles in the module
  • The default category of the product is not one of the categories selected in the module configuration



Example


The product is linked to several categories in PrestaShop:


Category associations – Image 1


Image 1:


  1. The product belongs to several categories
  2. Its default category is not selected in the module


In the module configuration, the Categories tab shows two categories selected — each with a different profile — and neither matches the default category:


Module configuration – Image 2


➡️ The module cannot decide whether to use Profile 1 or Profile 2.

This profile overlap may cause export failure or incorrect data being sent to Amazon.



How to fix it


Set the product’s default category to one that:


  • Is selected (checked) in the module
  • Has a profile associated with it


Correct setup example:


Assign default category – Image 3



Important note


The module does not always use PrestaShop’s default category automatically.

If the category is not selected in the module, the product may be skipped during export.
