Categorization Tab
The Categorization tab organizes your product for browsing and filtering on your store.
Categories
Section titled “Categories”Search existing categories or create new ones by typing. Multiple categories can be assigned. Each assigned category appears as a removable chip. Categories help organize products into a hierarchical structure on your store.
Search existing tags or create new ones. Tags are flat (non-hierarchical) labels useful for cross-category grouping and filtering. For example, you might tag seasonal products with “Summer Sale” across multiple categories.
Brands
Section titled “Brands”Search existing brands or create new ones. Assign brand identity to products for brand-based filtering and display on your store.
Product Attributes
Section titled “Product Attributes”Attributes define product characteristics like Color, Size, or Material.
- Add Attribute — Create a new attribute with a name and values.
- Attributes help customers find and filter products on your store.

When no attributes exist, a helpful empty state explains their purpose.
