How Do I Manage Categories in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 21, 2023 @ 3:57 pm

Adding products to your WooCommerce store is just the first step. In order for customers to find the products they’re looking for, you need to organize them into categories.

In this article, we’ll show you how to manage categories in WooCommerce.

When you first install WooCommerce, it comes with a few default product categories. These are:

  • Uncategorized
  • First Category
  • Second Category

You can add new product categories by going to WooCommerce > Products > Categories. From here, you can add a new category by filling in the following fields:

  • Name: This is the name of your category.
  • Slug: This is the URL-friendly version of your category name. By default, WordPress will generate a slug based on your category name.
  • Parent: This is the parent category for your new category. By default, new categories are added as subcategories of the Uncategorized category.
  • Description: This is an optional field where you can provide a description of your category.
