Understanding ePrice Product Categorization

ePrice is one of Italy's largest online electronics retailers, offering a vast selection of consumer electronics, appliances, computing equipment, and tech accessories. With millions of products across thousands of categories, proper categorization is essential for visibility in this competitive Italian marketplace that serves tech-savvy consumers nationwide.

The ePrice marketplace uses a detailed electronics-focused taxonomy that organizes products by category, brand, specifications, and technical features. Unlike general marketplaces, ePrice's classification system emphasizes technical specifications—processors, screen sizes, storage capacity, and energy ratings are all important classification factors. Understanding this tech-centric taxonomy is crucial for reaching Italian consumers who rely on ePrice for competitive pricing and technical accuracy.

Manual categorization for electronics presents unique challenges due to rapidly evolving product specifications, new technology categories, and the importance of accurate technical attributes. A laptop needs categorization not just by brand but by processor type, RAM, storage, and screen size. Our AI-powered categorization API handles these complexities automatically, ensuring your electronics are placed in the optimal categories with accurate technical attribute mapping.

ePrice Electronics Taxonomy

ePrice organizes its marketplace using a comprehensive electronics taxonomy that reflects both Italian consumer preferences and international tech standards. The taxonomy includes main categories for Informatica (Computing), Telefonia (Phones), TV & Audio, Elettrodomestici (Appliances), Gaming, and Fotografia (Photography). Each category has deep subcategories for brands, specifications, and use cases.

The taxonomy follows Italian electronics retail conventions with detailed technical classification. For example, a gaming laptop might be classified as: Informatica > Notebook > Notebook Gaming > NVIDIA RTX > 16GB RAM. This layered approach ensures products appear in relevant technical filters that Italian tech consumers expect.

Best Practices for ePrice Categorization

Achieving optimal product categorization on ePrice requires understanding Italian electronics retail conventions and technical specification requirements. Here are essential best practices developed from our experience categorizing millions of electronics products for the Italian market.

Include Technical Specifications
Always include key specs like RAM, storage, processor, screen size, and resolution. ePrice customers filter heavily by specifications, and accurate spec extraction improves search visibility.
Use Italian Product Names
Provide descriptions in Italian when possible. Terms like "pollici" (inches), "Grigio Siderale" (Space Gray), or "Nero" (Black) help accurate categorization.
Include Model Numbers
Include manufacturer model numbers and SKUs. These help the AI cross-reference product databases for accurate specification extraction and categorization.
Specify Brand Clearly
ePrice organizes many categories by brand. Include the brand name prominently—Samsung, Apple, LG, Sony, HP, Lenovo—for accurate brand-based categorization.
Include Energy Ratings
For appliances, include EU energy ratings (A+++, A++, etc.). Italian consumers are energy-conscious, and ePrice features energy filtering prominently.
Note Connectivity Options
Specify connectivity: WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C, HDMI 2.1. These technical details help with accurate subcategory placement in ePrice's detailed taxonomy.
