Add product categories

Help your customers quickly find what they need in your store by creating product categories and sub-categories. You'll need to be on the Websites + Marketing Ecommerce plan or have a Premium Online Store.

1. Go to your GoDaddy product page.
2. Scroll down to Websites + Marketing and select Manage next to your website or store.
3. Open Categories from your Dashboard
   • In Websites + Marketing, go to Store and select Categories.
     
   • In Online Store Premium, go to Products and select Categories.
     
4. On the Categories page, select Add or Add Category.
5. Enter a Category name and Description (or SEO Description). You also have the option to edit the Category link. Your category link provides a direct URL to products in this category, and should closely match your Category name.

   Note: While not required, adding keywords in the name and description fields helps customers find you.

6. When you're done, select Save to close the window. The category is added to the Categories page.
7. Rearrange the categories by clicking and dragging to change the order.
   
8. Click and drag a category below or on top of another to make it a sub-category. Main categories can have two levels of subcategories. So "Clothes > Shirts > Women" would work but "Clothes > Shirts > Womens > Blouses" wouldn’t.
   
9. Once you've created a category, remember to create a product or edit existing products.
10. To make your changes live, publish your site.
