How do I create and manage product categories?

The Role of Categories

Categories group similar products together—such as Summer Collection, Accessories, Footwear, or Best Sellers. Clean category organization helps customers find what they want in seconds.

How to Create a New Category

1. In your sidebar menu, click on Catalog → Categories.
2. Click Add New. The Add Category window opens.
3. Category Name: Enter a clear category title (e.g., Casual Wear), 3 to 30 characters.
4. Active in Store? Keep it on to show the category to customers; turn it off to hide it for now.
5. Click Save Category.

Managing Existing Categories

• Toggle Active Status: Click the visibility toggle switch next to any category to instantly show or hide it on your customer storefront.
• Edit Category: Click ✏️ to change the name, then Update Category.
• Delete Category: You can safely delete categories that have no active products. StoreYug prevents accidental deletion of categories containing products to protect your catalog integrity.
