Assign products to categories

Place each product in the right category so the catalog stays understandable.

Where this lives

Category assignment controls where products appear in the catalog and how customers discover them on the website.

Assignment rules that help

• Place each product in the category a customer would most naturally choose when browsing.
• Avoid dumping everything into one catch-all category because search and storefront browsing both suffer.
• Review category fit when a product changes use case, audience, or seasonality.

After assigning

• Check the public catalog order to make sure the product appears where expected.
• If the product still does not show publicly, verify it is active and not blocked by availability or visibility settings.
• Use category naming and assignment together so the storefront reads clearly.
