How to sort products into storefront sections.

SECTIONCatalogREAD~2 minUPDATED

Create a category

  1. New category
    “Catalog” → “Categories” → “New category”.
  2. Subcategories
    The “+” button on a category row is “Add subcategory”.
  3. Order
    Drag 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.
