FAQs

Important:

We are in the process of releasing the ability to create subcategories to stores that have the Category page. These subcategories can be displayed in the Category page menu.
We suggest also adding categories to your site menu.

Make sure your site visitors have easy access to your store's categories by setting up your site's menu to display them. This way, customers can see what you offer no matter what site page they are currently viewing.
