3 min read
Important:
We're releasing a new version of product categories that is not yet available for all users. If your category creation page doesn't match the image below, click this link and the links inside the article to learn how to add and display categories.
Product categories (previously called product collections) are a handy way to organize your products. You can use product categories to display different types of products on different pages, to create custom filters, and more.
In this article, learn more about:

Adding products

  2. Click the relevant category.
  3. Click + Add Products.
  1. Click to select the products you want to add.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Click Save.
You can also:

Changing the order of products

  1. Go to Categories in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click the relevant category.
  3. Click and drag the products to change the order.
  4. Click Save.

Adding a category name and image

Give your category a name and image so you can easily identify them.

Category names and images do not appear on your live site.

Deleting a category

You can delete a category you no longer need. If your site has a product gallery that displays that category, make sure to first remove the gallery or select a different category to display so that customers won't see a blank gallery. 
Note:
Deleting a category does not delete the products in it.  

To delete a category:

  1. Go to Categories in your site's dashboard.
  2. Click the More Actions icon   on the category you want to delete.
  3. Click Delete.
