How to Create Categories in Bagisto

The category is a structure of your catalog. By creating a category, customers can easily find the specific product amongst the lot on your e-commerce website. It is used for making the hierarchical arrangement of your website. Here we have listed down steps to create a new category and root category in Bagisto.

Root Category

Bagisto comes with a default root category, i.e., Root, but you can also create your own root category. The Root Category is not visible on the front end because it acts as a container to contain the categories to be displayed on the website.

Steps to Create a New Root Category in Bagisto

1. Click on Catalog >> Categories >> Create Category as shown in the image below.

   

2. Enter the general values like name, position, and description, and add images. Pick where the category sits under Parent Category. From Bagisto v2.4.9 this tree is drawn with plain connector guides instead of folder and file icons, matching the permission tree on the role page.

3. Display Mode - Display mode is about which content detail is visible on the category page. There are three options:

   • Product and Description

   • Product

   • Description

   • Product and Description: When you set the display mode to "Product and Description," then the product and description about the category both will be visible on the front end.

   • Description: When you set the display mode to "Description," then only the category description will be visible on the front end.

   • Product: When you set the display mode to "Product," the product will be visible on the front end.

   

4. Save the category, and a new category will be created by the name of Electronic Items as shown in the image below.

   

5. Now check the product edit page while creating a product, and you will be able to see the newly created category there.
