Not exactly. This limitation exists because affiliates have visibility into the campaign categories. If each merchant were allowed to create their own categories, it would result in disorganized and overlapping categories, as merchants may create similar or duplicate categories. Therefore, the ability to manage categories is reserved exclusively for the network owner, ensuring a clear and consistent experience for affiliates.
If you grant merchants permission to modify categories, it introduces the risk of confusion and inconsistency. For example, one merchant might rename a category from Drugs to Pharmacy, only for another merchant to change it back to Drugs. Such changes can cause unnecessary confusion and are not beneficial for effective category management.
Allowing merchants to manage categories can lead to disorganization and a poor user experience for affiliates. Only the network owner should have this capability.
