Add product categories
Group the products customers can choose from into browsable tabs.
Categories become the tabs across the top of your builder. Each one holds the products a customer can pick from.
Create a category
Open your builder and go to the Products tab.
Click Add Category, below your existing categories.
Enter a Name of the category — for example Candles.
Click Create category and select products. The category is created empty, at the bottom of the list.
Click + Add Products inside the new category. Search for and tick your products in the Shopify picker, then confirm.
Click Save.
Each product shows as a row with its image and title. Click the arrow on a row to see the price of every variant.
Offer only some variants
In the Shopify picker you can tick individual variants — say two colours out of five. Customers then only see the variants you ticked. If you tick the whole product instead, variants you add in Shopify later show up on their own.
Add products to an existing category
Click + Add Products inside the category and pick more. The picker opens with the category's current products already ticked, so you can also change which variants a product offers. An empty category prompts you with No products added yet.
Manage categories
Open the ⋯ (Category options) menu on a category:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Rename | Change the category name. |
| Delete | Removes the category and all its products from the builder. You're asked to confirm first. |
Click a category's header, or the arrow at its right, to collapse or expand its products.
You can also drag a category by its handle to change the order it appears in as a tab, and remove a single product with the trash icon on its row. Unticking a product in the picker doesn't remove it — use the trash icon.
Reorder products inside a category
Products have their own drag handles too. Drag one up or down within its category to change the order customers see it in the grid — put your best sellers first. A product can't be dragged into a different category.
Product details keep themselves current
When you edit a product in Shopify — its title, image, handle, or variant prices — the builder picks the change up automatically. You don't need to remove and re-add the product, or even open the builder. On your storefront, prices and stock are also read fresh from Shopify every time the page loads.
Deleting a category doesn't touch your Shopify products — it just removes them from this builder.
How many products per category?
Keep it to 20 or fewer per category so the page stays usable. Past that, customers scroll instead of choosing.
If you have more, split them into more categories — Citrus candles and Floral candles beats one long list.
Name categories the way customers think
Candles, Soaps, Bath bombs — concrete and scannable. Avoid internal language like SKU group A or Tier 2 items.
