The category management concept allows you to create and manage categories, subcategories, and category trees.
Categories are essential to every online business — they organize products and help employees and customers find what they need. Emporix aims to make category management easier by providing you with a customizable classification solution.
Our newly improved Category Service provides you with enhanced performance and scalability. Enriched, redesigned features allow you to build efficient classification solutions with guaranteed performance.
The Emporix category concept comes with a set of features, described in the table below:
Localized category names and descriptions
Deliver category names in languages that your business operates in.
Category customization
Adjust the category model to suit your business needs with the help of mixins.
Category trees
Build category and subcategory structures for better product management.
Assignments
Assign products to a category.
Visibility statuses
Decide which categories should appear on the storefront by setting them as published.
Time-limited categories
Along with using the published status, decide which categories should be visible in a specific timeframe by setting a date range for their validity.
Sorting
Sort and rearrange the categories according to your needs. There is a convenient functionality that allows you to easily move the categories and change the order in which they are displayed.
For a B2B company that offers a wide variety of products, it is essential to provide a robust and flexible classification solution for employees and customers. Thanks to the Emporix Commerce Engine, you can group products into a flexible classification structure using categories that are most suitable for your business offering.
Our brand new Category Service allows you to freely nest categories and create as many subcategories as you need, along with the attributes assigned to them. Categories can be represented either as a flat list or as a hierarchical category tree to suit the needs of your employees and customers. These views are created and updated automatically.
