Product Categories

Use product categories to organize the product catalog for both merchant operations and customer browsing.

Common tasks

  • create categories before adding many products
  • group similar products together
  • improve storefront and dashboard organization

Best practices

  • keep names clear and merchant-friendly
  • avoid overlapping category structures
  • review categories before launch campaigns or large imports

Typical workflow

  1. define the main category structure before bulk product creation
  2. create or refine categories for the real customer browsing journey
  3. assign products consistently
  4. review category clarity on Catalog or other public surfaces

Why categories matter

Category changes affect:

  • dashboard organization
  • product-entry consistency
  • customer-facing storefront navigation
  • campaign merchandising and featured collections
