To make it easier for your customers to navigate your site, you can create categories to sort your products on across your site pages.
Categories are a great way to tag specific products and organize them by topics, for example.
You can tag specific products you want to display under the same category by adding the same tag.
Once you create a new category, we will automatically create a page for it as well, which is where these products will be displayed!
Creating, editing and deleting categories
To create, edit and delete categories on your Podia site:
Go to the Products page by clicking Products in the sidebar menu. Then, click on Edit next to the product you'd like to edit.
On the following page, navigate to the Details tab. Next, you'll scroll down to navigate to the Categories area.
Adding a new category
To add a new category, click the + New category button, give it a name and hit Create to save it!
Editing a category
Once a category has been created, just click the Pencil icon to have it edited. You’ll be able to change its name!
Deleting a category
You can also delete a category by clicking directly on the trash icon.
Deleting a category will have a few implications. Your category page will also be removed along with any of its category sections on other pages. If you have added a link to it in your Header, you will need to delete that manually.
You cannot recover this category so if you simply wanted to rename it, please use the pencil icon.
