Product Category¶
What is a Product Category?¶
Product category is the most important key in how you present, organize and sell your products.
Key features about Product Category:
- A category gives the opportunity to group products easily. A parent category can have multiple sub-categories.
- Each category and/or subcategory is like a folder that contains:
- A list of products inside
- Other folders inside (sub-categories)
- Both a list of products and other folders inside
- A product category is the key link in setting up programs/classes and further features.
- Products/classes are placed "inside" categories, and customers can browse through each category to find products of interest.
- All top level categories will be visible when a visitor first enters the main catalog
- Sub-categories will only be visible when a user clicks on the "parent" category
A sample of a parent category and its sub-categories is shown below:
Note : If for a certain class/program, category is not chosen, then it will show as uncategorised.
In this section, we will see how to add a new category.
