Category selection
Choose which Swell categories to sync to Framer. Only sync what you need to keep your project fast and organised.
How category selection works
When you connect your Swell store, TGC fetches all your categories. You choose which ones to sync:
Selected categories are synced to Framer CMS
Unselected categories are ignored
Products in selected categories are included in the sync
Selecting categories
Open the TGC plugin in Framer
Go to the Sync tab
You'll see a tree of your Swell categories
Check the categories you want to sync
Click Sync selected
Category hierarchy
TGC supports two-level hierarchy (parent → children):
Selection rules:
Checking a parent automatically checks all children
Unchecking a parent unchecks all children
You can check individual children without the parent
Product counts
The selection UI shows how many products will sync:
Products in multiple categories are only counted once.
Best practices
Do | Don't |
|---|---|
Sync only categories you'll display | Sync your entire catalog "just in case" |
Review selection before syncing | Blindly select all |
Re-sync when adding new categories in Swell | Forget to add new categories |
Changing your selection
You can change which categories are synced at any time:
Open the TGC plugin
Adjust your category checkboxes
Click Sync selected
Adding categories: New products appear in your CMS.
Removing categories: Products unique to that category are removed from CMS.
