Managing Categories: Categories in each e-store are very important to organize your products. They provide a way for your clients to navigate the content of your store. But If you are running a small business with very few products categories are most likely not required.
Add new category:
Click on the “Add new” button and new category will be created. You can also create a new one by clicking on the “root” with the right mouse button and then click “Create”. New categorie “New node “ will be added to the tree.
In “Category information” window is shown all the information and settings for the newly created category as follows:
