Shappio Help Center / Products / Product Categories

Product Categories

With categories, you can easily group similar products together. You can categorize your items based on their common traits. There are three levels of categories to choose from:

  • Category - Main Category
    • Sub Category - 2nd level
      • Sub Category - 3rd level

Sub-categories are a necessary part of category organization, as products can only be assigned to sub-categories. Therefore, each category should have at least one sub-category.
