Organise products with categories and card colours
Create reusable catalogue categories and visual card colours, then assign them to products.
Create a category
- Open Products → Categories.
- Create a category with a name and URL handle.
- Add its description and image when useful.
- Choose its status and order, then save.
Use a stable handle because it becomes part of storefront browsing and import matching.
Create a card colour
- Open Products → Colours.
- Add a clear internal name and choose the colour value.
- Save it.
Assign organisation to products
- Open a product.
- On Basics, choose its required category.
- On Visibility, choose the optional card colour.
- Save and check the product card on the storefront.
Making a category Hidden removes that category from storefront category navigation. It does not unpublish products assigned to it; change a product's own status to Draft when the product itself must be hidden.
Import behaviour
A product CSV can create a missing category by name or handle. It never creates a missing tax class. Category imports match existing categories by handle.
