Tips and Tricks:
The most important things to remember!!!
-
Keep names simple and clear - Use names your customers would actually search for. If it’s easy to understand, it’s easy to find.
-
Think like a shopper
Ask yourself: “If I were visiting this shop, where would I look for this product?” That helps you place categories correctly. -
Start big, then break it down - Create main categories first, then add subcategories later as your shop grows.
-
Don’t overdo images - Images are nice, but only add them if they really help. Too many visuals can make things look messy.
-
Check the category order - Make sure categories are in a logical order so customers don’t feel lost.
-
Save often - After making changes, always click Save so nothing gets lost.
-
You can always change it later - Don’t stress about getting it perfect the first time. Categories can be edited, moved, or renamed anytime.
