How to manage categories?

Add a category in store.link

To add a new category, navigate to the products section of your store.link dashboard. Here, you will find the option to Open Product Sheet. Click on this to access your product listings in a Google Sheet format.

Within the Google Sheet, you can directly add new categories. Simply enter the category name in the designated column for categories.

Check changes

After adding or modifying categories directly in the Google Sheet, the changes will be immediately reflected on your store.

Reorder categories

You can easily reorder your store categories. To do this, return to the store link dashboard, navigate to Settings, and then select Categories.

Here, you will find a Sync From Google Sheet button. Click this button to update the categories in your online store with any new additions or changes made in the Google Sheet.

Now simply drag and drop the categories into the desired order. This is how you can control, which categories appear first on your online store.

Assign multiple categories to a product

If a product falls under multiple categories, you can assign it to more than one category to increase its visibility.

To do this, in the Google Sheet, add the categories to the respective product cell, separating each category with a comma. For example, if a shirt is both casual and sportswear, you would enter "Casual, Sportswear" in the category cell for that product.

Remove a category

To delete a category, simply remove it from the Google Sheet. Note that this action will also delete any product listings associated with that category, as a category is required for an item to be listed.

Add image for a category

To add a category image, go to Settings > Categories and click on the gear-shaped icon next to the desired category.Click on Category Image to upload an image, then click on Update to save your changes.

Set SEO data for a category

On the same page, you have the option to add a Meta Title, Meta Description and Meta Image.

View Category

Now that we are finished making changes, let's see how the updated category looks on the online store website.

Note

For online stores without category images, the online store website will look like this:

And also to add, if you have less than 2 categories in total, Store.link does not display the category as a separate list on your store by default.
