How to approve competitor matches in bulk

To approve competitor matches in bulk, use Massive Products Matches Approval in My Catalog: instead of opening each product’s suggestions and confirming them one by one, you match — or unmatch — every suggestion that fits your filters, across all selected products, in one run.

Approve competitor matches in bulk from My Catalog

  1. Go to My Catalog.
  2. Tick the products you want to process — or tick the header checkbox and click Select all N products to include the whole catalog.
  3. Click Massive Products Matches Approval in the selection toolbar.

Selecting products reveals the bulk toolbar — the same one you use to enable, disable or delete products together (see My Catalog: manage your products):

Choose Match or Unmatch

Under Select Matching Action, pick what the run does:

  • Match — approve suggestions: each one becomes a monitored URL on its product.
  • Unmatch — remove matches that were previously created from suggestions (see below).

Everything is set in a single dialog, and the button at the bottom always shows a live preview of how many suggested URLs the run will process:

The count updates as you adjust the options. If nothing fits your filters, the button reads No suggestions found for your filters and stays disabled — nothing can be launched by mistake.

Set the Similarity Range

Every suggestion carries a similarity score — how closely the competitor’s product resembles yours. The Similarity Range slider limits the run to suggestions inside the range, and each action starts from a sensible preset:

  • Match preselects 50%–100% — approve only the confident matches.
  • Unmatch preselects 10%–50% — target the weak ones.

Filter by domain (optional)

Under Select Filter Type you can narrow the run to certain competitors. Pick one filter kind at a time — None, Domain TLDs or Domains.

Domain TLDs approves only suggestions whose competitor domain ends with the extensions you pick — the quick way to keep the run to your country’s domains (see how to keep only competitors from your country). The list is searchable:

Domains approves only suggestions from the specific competitor domains you choose. The list contains the domains found in your current suggestions:

Overwrite Matched Products (optional)

By default a product that already has a match with a competitor is skipped, so existing matches are never touched. Turn on Overwrite Matched Products (shown for the Match action only) to replace them with the new suggestions instead — the preview count grows accordingly:

Start the run and follow its progress

Click Match N Suggested URLs to launch. The run happens in the background:

  • A banner shows Massive Auto-Match is running: N suggestions processed so far — click Cancel next to it to stop the run.
  • The toolbar button reads Automatch in progress… until it finishes.
  • Approved suggestions appear as monitored URLs on their products right away.

Unmatch: remove matches in bulk

The same tool works in reverse. Pick Unmatch and the action button turns red — it removes the monitored URLs that were created from suggestions inside your similarity range and filters. With the 10%–50% preset, it’s the fast way to sweep away low-quality matches after a large auto-match run:

Good to know

  • Each approved suggestion becomes a monitored URL and counts toward your plan’s monitored-URL limit. If the limit is reached mid-run, the run stops and you get a notification.
  • If a suggestion comes from a competitor you don’t track yet, it is added to your competitor list automatically (your plan’s competitor limit applies).
  • One suggested URL per product per competitor: a product never ends up with two monitored URLs on the same competitor.
  • Select all respects your current search and filters — filter the catalog first (for example to one brand), then select all to bulk-approve just that slice.
  • Sub-users need the Competitors read and edit permissions to see the button.
  • Suggestions are produced by auto-match, AI Discovery and Live Scraping; to review them one by one instead, see how quick auto-match works.
