Creating a Sale category with all products you have special offers for is one of the best marketing practices. So, how can you manage the Magento 2 sale category?
You definitely can add or remove all the products from the sale category manually or with the CSV import, but it is really time-consuming. Doing this manual job on a daily or hourly basic you lose your time. Every business has to optimize their processes to move forward.
To automate the catalog management you can use dynamic category rules, but what is it? The dynamic category, judging from its name, is a category that is predetermined to be generated automatically.
