Store categories and layout

Store categories can be used to organize the items in your store. Purchase Options, products, gift cards, and Events can be placed in one or more store categories. Your store is equipped with default categories, which you can modify and you can create as many custom store categories as you need.

After you have created categories for items in your online store, you can determine the order in which these categories appear as well as the order in which the items in each of your categories appear in your online store.

Any item that is not assigned a store category will be placed in the Unassigned category. You cannot edit or delete this category. If you do not create any other categories, every item in this category will be displayed in your online store by default.

For more information on how to add an item to a store category, see Setting an item’s store category.
