Create a category
- New category“Catalog” → “Categories” → “New category”.
- SubcategoriesThe “+” button on a category row is “Add subcategory”.
- OrderDrag categories: up and down changes the order, left and right changes nesting. Up to 5 levels.
Add products to a category
- On the product page: the “Organization” block → “Choose categories”. The star marks the primary category — it sets the breadcrumbs on the storefront.
- From the product list: tick products and click “Add to category”.
- From the category page: “Products in listing” → “Add products”. That’s also where you drag products into their storefront order.
Category settings
- “Name and description” — the description appears above the products on the category page.
- “Image” — a category picture from the media library.
- “Show on storefront” — a hidden category hides its subcategories too.
- “Search and social” — how the category looks in Google and in a messenger link.
- “Standard category” — for search engines and feeds; buyers don’t see it.
DELETING
If you delete a category, its subcategories move up into its place and the products stay in the catalog — they’re just unlinked from it.
