Categories

Categories organize products into browsable groups (e.g. "Smartphones", "Laptops", "Tablets"). They can be nested hierarchically.

Where to find it

Admin: /commerce/categories

What you can do

  • Create, edit, and delete categories
  • Set a parent category for hierarchical navigation
  • Upload a category image (displayed on the storefront category page)
  • Add a description shown above the product grid
  • Set SEO fields — meta title and meta description for search engines
  • Control display order and active status

Creating a category

  1. Go to Commerce → Categories
  2. Use the "Add Category" form on the right
  3. Enter name, optional parent, and description
  4. Save

After creating, click the category name to open the edit modal where you can upload an image.

Image uploads

  • Formats supported: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP
  • Max size: 5 MB
  • Images are stored at /uploads/categories/ and the full URL (including your domain) is saved to the DB so they resolve from the storefront on a different domain

Storefront behavior

On the storefront, each category page shows:

  • Category name, description, image
  • Filter sidebar (price range, brand, device type)
  • Product grid with pagination
  • Sort options (name, price, newest)
