How to Import categories in Shopware to help you build up your online store.
Categories are menu items in the main navigation, but they can also be found in the service navigation and the footer navigation. The category structure is displayed as a fold-out menu on the left side. There, you can change the sorting by dragging and dropping – this is possible at every category level – and you can also move a category into another category as a subcategory. As previously stated, the categories are also used for footer navigation and the service menu. Working with two or three category trees, can be beneficial for clear administration. The “…” button opens the context menu for each category, which can be used to perform additional functions: • New category before: Adds a new category to the same level as the selected one. • New category after: Adds a new category to the same level as the selected one. • New subcategory: Generates a new category one level beneath the currently selected category. • Edit: Opens the right-side display for editing the selected category. • Delete: Removes the selected category, as well as all subordinate categories.
