Categories help organize your products, making it easier for buyers to browse and find what they need. A well-organized catalog improves the buying experience and can increase order sizes.
📁 Best Practice: Create categories before adding products. This keeps your catalog organized from the start.
Path: Dashboard → Categories → Add Category
Category Name
Clear, descriptive name that buyers will understand (e.g., "Fresh Vegetables", "Dairy Products")
Description (Optional)
Brief description of what products belong in this category
Click "Create Category" or "Save" button. Your category is now ready to use when adding products.
Go to Dashboard → Categories, find the category, and click Edit. You can update the name and description.
You can delete categories that are no longer needed. However, you cannot delete a category that has products assigned to it.
⚠️ First move or delete all products in the category, then delete the category.
Keep Categories Broad
Don't create too many narrow categories. "Fresh Vegetables" is better than separate categories for each vegetable type.
Use Clear Names
Category names should be immediately understandable. Avoid jargon or internal codes.
Plan Before Creating
Think about your full product range and create all necessary categories at once for consistency.
