The BigCommerce API does not currently support the migration of Category Landing pages and Brand Landing pages. The workaround is to perform a Bulk Content Migration of Categories, Brands, Widgets, Widget Templates and Pages.
Category Template Layout File selection that is present in Product Categories
Layout_file, which is a visible attribute on Product Categories (e.g. category.html) is picked up from the Theme file, specifically Template>Pages>Custom folder. Example setting is as follows:
"layout_file": "category.html"
