When source categories are migrated as Shopify automated collections, our LitExtension experts use matching product tags and collection conditions to assign products correctly.
For example, your source store may contain two categories with the same name:
- Eyeglasses (Category ID 12) contains Product A.
- Eyeglasses (Category ID 35) contains Product B.
If both Shopify collections used only the tag Eyeglasses, Products A and B could appear in both collections. To keep them separate, we may create identifiers such as Eyeglasses-12 and Eyeglasses-35, then assign the corresponding tags to their products.
The numeric string is therefore intentional and helps preserve the original category-product relationships. You can rename the collection after migration, but its conditions and corresponding product tags must remain matched.
