Store Setup
Categories
Organize your products with categories.
Categories help organize your products and make it easier for customers to find what they're looking for.
Creating a Category
- Go to Categories in your dashboard
- Click Add Category
- Enter a Category Name
- Choose whether the category is Exclusive
- Click Create
Exclusive Categories
The Exclusive option is important for certain product types:
Standard Categories
- Customers can add multiple items from this category to their cart
- Good for: Cosmetics, consumables, bundles
Exclusive Categories
- Customers can only have one item from this category in their cart
- Adding a new item automatically replaces the previous one
- Good for: Ranks, subscriptions, or any mutually exclusive items
Example: If you have Bronze, Silver, and Gold ranks, make them an exclusive category. When a customer adds Gold to their cart, it will replace any existing rank they had selected.
Managing Categories
Viewing Categories
Your categories are displayed in a table showing:
- Category name
- Category ID
- Type (Standard or Exclusive)
Use the search bar to filter categories by name.
Editing Categories
- Click the Edit button on a category
- Update the name or exclusive setting
- Click Save
Deleting Categories
- Click the Delete button on a category
- Confirm the deletion
You cannot delete a category that has products assigned to it. Remove or reassign the products first.
Best Practices
- Use clear names: "VIP Ranks" is better than "Ranks1"
- Group related items: Keep similar products together
- Use exclusive wisely: Only for truly mutually exclusive items
- Plan ahead: Think about your product structure before creating categories
