Managing categories
Categories are groups of related or similar products on your store's website. They structure the way products are displayed, making it easier for customers to find what they're looking for.
Cova and Greenline stores
If your store is integrated with Greenline or Cova, you can match categories between those platforms and your Breadstack website menu. See our category matching article for steps.
Once your categories are matched, you can edit their thumbnails and descriptions in Retail > Products > Categories. Depending on your website theme, these elements may or may not be visible to customers.
Creating a new category
If your store is on WooCommerce and is not integrated with an eCommerce platform, you can create or delete website menu categories in Products > Categories.
- Go to Product > Categories and click Add New Category at the top right.
- Add details about your category.
- Assign any other category as a Parent Category to create a hierarchy, if desired. For example, "Baked Goods" would be a Parent Category of "Muffins".
- Choose the category's Display Type.
- Write a Description of the category.
- Assign a Thumbnail image (Optional).
- Click Save.
Once you've added a category, you can start assigning products to it. To edit or delete categories, go to Products > Categories and select Edit or Delete under any category in the list.
