If your eShop has a lot of products you may consider categorizing them to better organize them. This will help when customer’s browse your store.

How do product categories work?

All products within your store will show the following information about the category they belong to:

• The category name. If your users click the category name, they will be brought to that categories page.
• The number of products within that category
• If you uploaded an image for the category, it will show.
• The category’s description

When a user arrives to a category page, they’ll see the category’s description and a list of the products within the category.
