Add manual categories

Creating a manual category means grouping individually selected products. The category stays the same until you add or delete products. You can add a new manual category in two ways: On the dedicated view Categories or on the product details view.

Skip to:

• Add a manual category on the category view
• Add a manual category on the product details view
• Add a product to an existing category

Add a manual category on the Categories view

1. In the sidebar of your cockpit, navigate to Products > Categories.
2. Select Add category.
3. Enter a name for the category.
4. On the Assign your products card, select Manually.
5. Select the input field Select products.
   You can now search products by product name or SKU and select your desired ones.
   
6. Check the products assigned to the category on the Products of this category card. Adapt the selection, if needed.
7. Select Save.

 Add a manual category on the product detail view

1. Select Products in the sidebar of your cockpit.
2. Select an existing product from the Product overview or add a new one.
