Organize Your Store with Categories
Categories allow you to organize your store in a way that makes it easy for your customers to find exactly what they're looking for. They are especially important when your store has many different products. Can you imagine walking into a big-box store that didn't have its products organized by departments? You'd never find anything! And that's how your customers will feel if your store doesn't have categories to help them.
Products can belong to more than one category, so you can also use categories to feature different products. For example, you might create an "On Sale" category to showcase all your items with sale prices. Or you might create a seasonal category. When products are assigned to more than one category, they automatically show up on every assigned category page.
For example, take a store that sells apples. Say the store has both a Fruit category and also a Fall Fruit category that they display on their Storefront from September-November. They put fruit in this category that know customers are looking for during that season, making it easier for them to find it. Apples are in the Fall Fruit category, but customers are also be able to access apples by scrolling through the Fruits category page.
