NOTE: The Key field is used to link a Category from the eCommerce
system to a product database. This field will be dictated by the product
database unique key.
NOTES ON FIELDS:
Sort Order
allows for arrangement of categories in a list such as the menu. The
sort order is subject to parent/child relationships in most instances
<!-- -->
Handling Charge
can be used in combination with a custom shipping provider to add
handling fees onto an order. Handling Charges are not fully functioning
unless enabled with the shipping provider.
<!-- -->
IsVisible
allows for a category to be seen within the storefront. This can be set
for lower levels of Categories which are available in the catalog
filters but not the menu.
<!-- -->
IncludeInMenu
allows for a category to be seen within the main navigation menu.
<!-- -->
SEO data fields
allow for keywords to be placed within Category pages to increase their
search results standings- not required
From within the edit screen of a Category, go to the "Parent Category"
tab
Use the ">" (expand) arrows icon to find the parent category
Select "+"(add) icon for the Parent Category for the category being
editted
Repeat process until all parent/child relationships for a category
branch have been created
NOTE: A Category with no Parent exists at the top level. For
Instance, if that Category was selected as “Visible In Menu” it would be
visible at the highest level. This continues down the chain of
Categories.
Category content can be used to display text and images on category
landing pages, mega menu, product associations, kit building wizards and
more. These implementations typically require customization to display
text and images from the Category. Category Content uses will be custom
per your project
