Manage Categories and Subcategories

You can add a 'Category' and 'Subcategory' for each product that you include on a store. Categories and subcategories are a great way to provide a familiar navigation experience to customers. We will discuss where categories and subcategories are displayed/organized, how to go about creating them, and how to organize your products with them

Here is how subcategories appear to a customer on the store:
