Overview

You can update any category's name, description, image, featured status, and SEO settings at any time. Managing which products belong to a category is now handled on its own dedicated page, separate from the category's details.

How to Edit a Category

  1. Go to Products > Categories in the left menu
  2. Find the category you want to edit
  3. Click EDIT next to the category name
  4. Update the category details:
  • Name
  • Description
  • Image (if Beautify Category is active)
  • Featured status
  • SEO settings
  1. Save your changes

Note: Saving the category only updates its details. It no longer adds or removes linked products. Product links are managed and saved separately (see below).

Managing Products in a Category

Products are linked to a category on their own page, so you can update a category's details and its product list independently.

  • On the category edit page, the Linked Products tab is read-only. It shows the products currently in the category, with a search box to find a specific product and paging to move through the list.
  • To add or remove products, click MANAGE LINKED PRODUCTS. This opens a dedicated page where you can search and browse your full catalogue, add one or more products to the category, and remove products already in the category.
  • Changes on the Manage Linked Products page take effect as you make them, so you do not need to go back to the category edit page and save again.
  • A category can hold up to a maximum number of linked products. If you reach the limit, the system tells you how many more you can add, so remove some products before adding more.

Tip: A brand-new category must be saved first before you can link products to it. Once the category is saved, the MANAGE LINKED PRODUCTS button becomes available.

Renaming a Category

When you rename a category, the URL may also update. If you have external links pointing to the old category URL, they may stop working. Check if you have shared category links externally before renaming.

Category SEO

Update the SEO title and description for each category to help search engines understand the content of the category and rank it appropriately.

Regular category maintenance keeps your store organised and ensures customers can always find what they are looking for through clear, descriptive category names.
