Categories are essential for organizing your product catalog. They help customers navigate your store and find products easily.

​
Overview

Categories create a hierarchical structure for your products. You can create:
  • Parent categories - Top-level categories (e.g., “Clothing”, “Electronics”)
  • Subcategories - Nested categories (e.g., “Men’s Shirts” under “Clothing”)

​

Category Hierarchy

Categories can be nested to create a logical structure: 
Electronics
├── Computers
│   ├── Laptops
│   └── Desktops
├── Phones
│   ├── Smartphones
│   └── Accessories
└── Audio
    ├── Headphones
    └── Speakers
To create a subcategory:
  1. Create a new category
  2. Select the parent category from the dropdown
  3. Save the category

​
Managing Category Order

Categories can be reordered to control how they appear in navigation:
  • Use drag-and-drop to reorder categories
  • Position determines the display order on your storefront

​
Category States

  • Enabled - Visible to customers and appears in navigation
  • Disabled - Hidden from customers but products remain categorized
Create a clear and logical category structure from the start. Reorganizing categories later may affect URLs and SEO.

​
Best Practices

Keep it Simple

Don’t create too many levels. 2-3 levels deep is usually sufficient.

Use Clear Names

Category names should be descriptive and match what customers search for.

Add Images

Visual categories help customers navigate faster.

Plan Ahead

Think about your full product range before creating the category structure.
