Manage Categories in Your Store

This guide will provide a step-by-step process on how to manage categories in your online store. Proper category management is crucial for organizing your products and providing a seamless shopping experience for your customers.

Prerequisites

  1. You should have administrative access to your online store platform.

  2. Ensure that you are logged into your account.

Step 1: Access the Categories Section

After logging into your account, navigate to the “Stores” and then the “Categories” section, typically found within the main menu or settings area.

Step 5: Delete a Category

If a category is no longer needed, you can remove it from your store by locating the category in the list, clicking on it, and then clicking on the “Delete” button or a similarly labeled option. You will likely need to confirm your decision in a pop-up window. Please note that deleting a category will not delete the products within the category, but those products will no longer be associated with that category.
