Categories

Store → Categories controls how products are grouped on the storefront, in filters and in the category cards on the homepage.

Fields

Field	Notes
Category name	Shown on cards, filters and product pages
Icon or image	Pick an icon from the built in set or upload a square image, resized to 500 by 500
Sort order	Number that decides position, lower numbers come first

Open the form

Use Add Category at the top of the page.

Name it

Keep it short, the name also shows up in the mobile filter row.

Pick an icon

The picker searches by keyword, for example key, shield or gem. Uploading an image replaces the icon.

Set the order

Lower numbers appear first. Equal numbers keep creation order.

Deleting a category does not delete its products. They become uncategorised and keep selling; move them to another category when you can.
