About

Categories allow Admins and Employees to set the weight attribute (in grams) for each Product type. The name attribute of a Category corresponds to the type value of a Shopify product, and the Category’s weight is utilized to calculate the shipping rate for a Product upon the creation of the Shopify product. The existing Products within our Catalog belong to a pre-set Category. These Categories exist by default and do not require any additional setup. The main attributes of a Category are:
  • Category Name: The Category’s name that will be selected while using the Create Product feature.
  • Weight (grams): The Category’s weight in grams.

Create Category

Categories may be created by both Admins and Employees. Click the Create Category button from within the table, and a modal will appear. A custom Category allows you to set a different weight for a Product than is assigned to the default Category for a product type. This is helpful if the product has a higher weight. title

Update Category

Updates can be made to both default and custom Categories, but only the weight attribute can be modified, as the name of a Category is immutable. Click the Update button from within the table, and a modal will appear. title
