Categories

Categories represent the various groupings of products available in your store, such as footwear, apparel, or electronic devices. These categories aid customers in efficiently locating their desired items.

A product may be associated with multiple categories simultaneously, and these categories can organize themselves into hierarchical structures. However, a product belonging to a child category does not automatically belong to its parent category.

Please note, reorganizing category hierarchies is a resource-intensive operation due to its impact on search indexing. Consequently, changes to the category hierarchy may take some time to propagate to the search index.
