<chr>       <chr>      <int>             <dbl>
e-shop      Clothing   4                 4265.300

df1 %>% 
  left_join(select(df2, Store_type, prod_cat, prod_subcat, Total_amount,
  by =c("prod_subcat_code"="prod_sub_cat_code")))

One way could be:

df1 %>% 
    left_join(df2, by=c("prod_subcat_code"="prod_sub_cat_code")) %>% 
    select(Store_type, prod_cat, prod_subcat_code, Total_Amount) %>% 
    filter(prod_subcat_code == 4)

Output:

  Store_type prod_cat prod_subcat_code Total_Amount
  <chr>      <chr>               <dbl>        <dbl>
1 e-Shop     Clothing                4        4265.

Please provide a data sample using dput.

Otherwise, this should work:

left_join(df1,
          df2 %>% 
            select(-prod_cat_code, - prod_subcat),
          by = c("prod_subcat_code" = "prod_sub_cat_code")) %>% 
  relocate(Store_type,  prod_cat, prod_subcat_code, Total_amout)
