Categories group products in the product list, catalog builder, public catalog, and reports. Use categories when customers or staff need a clear way to browse the retail catalog. Categories list ## Good Category Names Good retail category examples include: * Clothing * Fragrance * Skincare * Accessories * Over-the-counter * Seasonal * Clearance Keep categories short and customer-friendly. If customers would not understand the category name, staff probably will not either. ## Before Adding Products Create the main categories before adding a large product list. Products are easier to review, filter, and add to a catalog when category names are already settled. Category form
