Key Terms
Parent Category
This is a type of category that is divided into subcategories. This is often used by stores to separate lesson or activity types.
Subcategory
A Subcategory is a subordinate grouping of products under an overarching parent category. A subcategory will only become visible once the parent category is selected.
Hidden Category
Unlike normal categories, hidden categories do not appear on the main page. These categories can be restricted to customer roles and specific URLs. These categories can be useful for renewal, discounted, or employee products.
Feature Detail
Categories are used to group similar products together onto a single PDP. Categories can be configured to function as parent categories, subcategories, and hidden categories. All products must be assigned to a category in order for the product to be visible in the store.
