Set up your Product Category

A clear category structure is the backbone of fast sourcing, accurate POs, and clean reports. Follow this exact process — it takes less than 5 minutes and works for every importer we onboard.

1. Go to Products → Product Categories
2. Create main categories (Level 1)
   At the top, click + Create new category
   
   Enter broad groups, for example:
   Apparel | Bags | Souvenir Hats | Accessories | Home Decor
   
   Click Confirm.
3. Add sub-categories (Level 2, 3…)
   Hover over any category → click + Add sub-category
   
   Examples:
   
   
   • Apparel → Women’s Tops
   • Women’s Tops → Kimono Cardigans
   • Women’s Tops → Hanfu Blouses Repeat as needed.
4. Add categories on the same level
   
   Hover over any existing row → click + Add same-level category to create another main or parallel group.
5. Edit
   
   Hover → click the gear ⚙️ icon:
   • Change parent (move the category)
   • Merge with another category (all products transfer automatically)
   • Delete (only possible if the category is empty)
6. Verify the structure Click the ☰ hamburger icon on any category to see all assigned SKUs. Empty = ready for new items.

Once the tree is built, every new product you add will automatically inherit the right category path for reporting, pricing tiers, and customs declarations.

You’re now ready to import your first supplier catalogs or create SKUs manually. Next step → go to Products → Items and start adding.
