Categories and tags

Categories and tags help you organise your product catalogue and make it easier for customers to find what they're looking for.

Understanding categories and tags

Categories create a browsable structure for your store. Think of them as the aisles in a physical store - they help customers navigate to what they want.

Tags are labels you can add to products for filtering and searching. A product can have multiple tags, making it easy to create collections like "New arrivals" or "Sale items."

Creating categories

1. From your admin, go to Products > Categories
2. Click Create Category
3. Enter the category details:
   • Name - The title customers see
   • Description - Optional text explaining what's in this category
   • Image - A banner or icon for the category
4. Click Save

Organising categories

You can create a hierarchy with parent and child categories:

• Clothing (parent)
  • Men's (child)
  • Women's (child)
  • Kids (child)

To make a category a child of another:

1. Edit the category
2. Select a Parent category
3. Save your changes

Filtering products by category

The category filter on the products page displays categories in a hierarchical tree structure. Parent categories appear at the top level, with child categories indented beneath them. Categories are sorted alphabetically within each level, making it easy to find the right category even in a large catalogue.

Adding products to categories

1. Open the product you want to categorize
2. In the Organization section, click Add category
3. Select one or more categories
4. Save the product
