Organize products with categories

More than 5 products? Your customers need categories to find what they’re looking for. Here’s how to organize your catalog on PayFacile.

When do you need categories?

More than 5 products? Your customers need categories to find what they’re looking for. Without them, they scroll, get lost, and leave your storefront.

For a catalog of 1–3 products, the default storefront page is usually enough. But once you have 4–5 or more offerings, categories become essential.

Think about categories from the customer’s perspective: "By type" (courses, ebooks, coaching) or "By topic" (marketing, finance, productivity).

Create a category

Go to Products → Categories. Click New category and fill in:

  • Name — the title visible to your customers in storefront navigation
  • Description (optional) — a short text describing the category’s content

Save. The category appears in the list and is immediately available for product assignment.

Assign products

Open a product in the editor, then select one or more categories in the dedicated field. A single product can belong to multiple categories. This lets you create overlaps: a cooking ebook can appear in both "Ebooks" and "Cooking."

Expected result

Categories display in your storefront’s navigation bar. Your customers can filter products by category in one click. You can reorder categories from the Categories page to control the display order in navigation.

FAQ

Can a product be in multiple categories?
Yes. You can assign a product to as many categories as needed. It will appear in each one on your storefront.
Do categories appear on the payment page?
No. Categories only display in your storefront navigation and on collection pages. The payment page only shows product information (title, price, description, image).
