Categories group your products for browsing — on your own product list and on your customers’ storefront.
New 2026-10-07: categories now have their own image and a storefront-visibility setting, and live on their own Categories screen rather than being a plain field on the product form. This page didn’t exist before.

​
Before you begin

Managing categories — creating, editing, reordering, deleting, or changing an image or visibility — requires a supplier administrator. This is different from products themselves, which any team member can manage — see View and manage products.

​
Create a category

  1. Go to Categories and select New category.
  2. Optionally add an image — this can appear on your storefront’s category tiles. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 50 MB.
  3. Enter a Name.
  4. Leave Visibility on to show the category to customers, or turn it off to keep it internal (see below).
  5. Optionally assign products to the category right away.
  6. Select Create category.

​
Reorder categories

With the list sorted by Order, drag a category by its handle to a new position, or use the up/down arrows next to it. This order is what customers see when categories are presented on your storefront.

​
Add, change or remove a category’s image

Open the category and use the image field to upload, replace, or remove its image — the same dropzone handles all three.

​
Storefront visibility

Turning visibility off for a category removes it from customer-facing category browsing, filters and tiles. It does not hide the products assigned to it — those products stay orderable, either shown under another visible category they also belong to, or without a category label if that was their only one.
