Category Management
What are Categories?
Categories are used to group your products to allow for more logical searching and browsing of your site, the better your categorisation, the easier it will be for potential customers to find your products. You can assign products to more than one category, for example a football shirt may be in both your sports and your clothing category, this allows you to advertise your product in several different sections of the website.
