How to make product categories in WooCommerce

Categories are managed from the Products > Categories screen.

Similar to categories on your posts in WordPress, you can add, delete, and edit product categories.

  • Add a Name for category.
  • Add a Slug (optional); this is the URL-friendly version of the name.
  • Choose a Parent category if this is a subcategory.
  • Enter a Description for the category (optional); some themes display this.
  • Choose the Display type. Decide what is shown on the category’s landing page. “Standard” uses your theme’s default. “Subcategories” will display only the subcategories. “Products” only displays products. “Both” will display subcategories and products below that.
  • Upload/Add Image for category (optional);  Some themes have pages where product category images are displayed, so this is a good idea.

When you add a new product via Products > Add Product, you can select this new product category from the list.

Alternatively, you can go to Products > Add Product directly, and select Add New Product Category.
