Inherited pricing

€0.20 – €0.90 per SKU or category event

This capability shares the Merchandising Specialist's metered unit. A SKU or category event is counted once at the role level regardless of which capability handled it. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the per-action price.

What this capability handles

How it works in detail.

Category Curation reads the merchandising calendar — seasonal windows, campaigns, new-collection launches — assembles category-page components from the CMS, orders ranking against search-platform rules, and writes updates with previews for merchandiser review before publish.
