Wix Stores: Displaying Product Categories on Mobile

5 min read
If you display the category page on your site, customers can use it to navigate through your live categories.

However, it's important to remember that the category list is not visible on mobile devices. If you want customers on mobile to have access to your subcategories, add them to the site menu.   
You decide whether you want to add them only on the mobile version of your site or both on desktop and mobile. 

Adding categories only to your mobile site menu

If you prefer not to add your product categories to the desktop version of your site menu, you can still add them to mobile. This way, customers visiting your site using a mobile device can easily find the types of products they're looking for.

Adding categories to desktop & mobile site menus

By default, the category page is added to the site menu with the name "Shop". This link directs customers to the "All Products" category. You can add direct links to each of your other categories (e.g. Body, Nutrition).
