How to add products to a category

Once a category is created you will need to add products to it for purchase through your storefront website. Here’s a handy guide on Creating products, if you are yet to create your first product.

There are 2 ways you can add products to a product category or sub category:

1) From within a product Go to the product you want to attach to a category to. Go to the ‘categories’ box and click on the field. This will bring up a drop down list of all of the categories that have been created. Click on the categories you want the product to be attached to. Hit ‘save’ to confirm your changes.

2) Within the category itself

Go to the category you want to add a product to. Hit the ‘add product’ button. This will add a blank product card to the category. Click on the field labelled ‘product’ this will bring up a drop down list of products. Click on the product you want to add. Hit ‘save’ to confirm the changes.

Products can be placed in more than one category. For example they can be both in a parent category and sub category.
