Option to disable category sync

We need the option to no sync categories because of limitation on subcategories or multiple categories. I’d be ok with having all sync categories going to uncategorized and not being update by Square inventory at all. Any updates to the item triggers a sync which is good but then wipes out multiple category configurations.

    Instead of putting the inventory into an uncategorized category, leave the option to not move the products into categories at all.

    I have categories in my WC page that makes sense as they are all one category.

    On my square shop, I have the one category broken up into several categories (alphabetical) that eases with scrolling and finding the item if the item I have does not have a bar code.

    When a sync occurs (manual or hourly), one of two things happen:

    1) every item is dumped into the default category, forcing me to spend 1-2 hours re-sorting things on my WC site.
    2) new categories are created on the WC shop that match the categories on the POS and show up horrible. Again, I would spend 1-2 hours re-sorting things on my WC site.

    This is not how I would like to spend my time troubleshooting my site.
