Categories are a great tool to keep your eCommerce experience user-friendly. Their purpose is to organize inventory items in the various stores.
-
The Corporate Shop displays categories as a sidebar menu.
-
In the Web Office Store, you’ll see them as tabs along the top of the page.
-
In the eCommerce Shop, categories live in the sidebar menu and the Products dropdown menu.
Adding a Category
To add a new category:
-
Click the + New Category button.
You navigate to the New Inventory Category page.

Parent Category - Select from a list of previously added categories if you want it to be a sub-category.
