Categories

Open in ClaudeOpen in ChatGPTView as Markdown

Categories sort your products into a hierarchy, and category is one of the filters on the product list.

Go to Catalog > Categories. Every category appears indented under its parent, with the number of products in it.

Add a category

Section titled “Add a category”
  1. Select Add category.
  2. Enter a Category name.
  3. Pick a Parent category, or leave it on None (top-level category).
  4. Select Add category again to save.

Categories nest three levels deep. A top-level category can hold children and those children can hold children of their own, but no further.

Choose the parent when you create the category. Editing a category only changes its name, so a category cannot be moved later. Create it again in the right place instead.

Put a product in a category

Section titled “Put a product in a category”

Open the product, choose from the Category dropdown in the Classification section, and save. A product sits in one category at a time.

The system category

Section titled “The system category”

One category is marked System. It holds products that have no category of their own, and you cannot rename or delete it.

Delete a category

Section titled “Delete a category”

Select the delete icon on its row. Its products are not deleted: they move to the system category, and the confirmation tells you how many will move before you commit to it.
