Creating and editing a product category
Categories group related products and help customers navigate the catalog. For example, a clothing store can use categories such as Dresses, Shoes, and Accessories.
How to create a category
- Open Store → Categories.
- Select the action to create a category.
- Complete the required fields and add media, description, and SEO details when needed.
- Save the category.
Main fields
- Category name — the visible name in the catalog and on the category page.
- Page URL — the address segment after
/category/. You can generate it from the name or enter it manually. Use lowercase Latin letters, digits, and hyphens; the URL must be unique within the selected store.
Image and banner
- Category image is used in category menus and lists when the selected catalog layout displays images.
- Banner appears on the category page and is suitable for a wide image or a seasonal message.
Choose media that clearly represents the category. The category image and banner are configured separately.
Category description
Use the description to explain what the category contains, help customers choose products, or provide other useful details. It can appear above the products or below the products.
SEO settings
- Meta title — the page title used by search engines and browser tabs.
- Meta description — a concise page summary for search results.
SEO fields do not replace the visible category name and description. After saving, open the category page and check its URL, media, and description position.
