Ecommerce Categories Introduction

Ecommerce categories enable you to group products on your site in a way that provides a smooth and coherent user experience for potential buyers and casual visitors. This capability can give you an edge in turning site visitors into paying clients. It also gives committed buyers a way to access the product they need and close transactions as smoothly as possible.

Similar to Ecommerce Products, you can manage e-commerce category properties such as the following:

• Category Details: Enables you to add and manage categories and assign products to them.
• Media and Gallery: Enables you to upload images and other files for your categories.
• Custom Fields and Content: Allows you to add custom fields to capture custom categories.
• SEO Settings: Enables you to conduct search engine optimization on your ecommerce website for marketing purposes.

Why sophisticated categorization matters:

• Intuitive navigation: Guide your customers from the landing page to the checkout with precision. By utilizing parent-child hierarchies and manual weighting, you can control exactly how shoppers discover your products, and ensure your high-margin items always take center stage.
• Built-in SEO dominance: Every category page is an opportunity to capture organic traffic. With native fields for canonical URLs, Schema markup, and Meta tagging, Insites transforms simple collection pages into SEO powerhouses that tell search engines exactly why your store deserves the top spot.
• Social-ready collections: First impressions happen long before a customer hits your site. Our integrated Open Graph settings ensure that every time a category is shared on social media, it arrives with professional titles and descriptions optimized for maximum click-through rates.
