On Enjovia you can split products into categories to streamline your customers’ shopping experience. It allows them to sort and browse through specific product / service types.
On the homepage it shows as a drop down on the homepage, by default this bar shows all products.
When your customer selects the category on products in that category will show in the homepage.
To create a category go to the category section in the sidebar menu, as always there are some required data fields and some optional.
The first time you login you will see this screen, inviting you to make a category, press the blue create category button to start.
After you've made your first category the category section will switch to a selection of your activated and draft categories.
The first section as always is the category name, the slug / URL is auto generated from the name but you are able to customise it, if you wish for the URL to be different to the name.
The second step is to add your products, simply search for the products that you want and add them to the category. You are able to change the order that products appear within that category by dragging and dropping them in the correct order.
That is the only information required! save as draft if you want to turn on the category later or save and activate for immediate activation.
There are a few additional optional settings for categories.
- Scheduled activation - turn you category to go active at a certain date and time and also set a deactivation date for if and when you want the category to be removed, this is a useful feature for creating temporary categories for holidays, like Mothers day or Christmas.
- Search Engine Listing - Edit the meta title and description to maximise your Search engine optimisation and ensure your categories appear on search engines.
- Banner - Set up a specific banner image that appears under the navigation bar to promote specific category products.
- Announcements - Text shown on the category homepage, this can be used to highly specific information regarding that category, perhaps health warnings or procedures or even promotions running in that specific category.
- Tags - This is a way to add additional data fields on a category which can be picked up by reports or third party integrations.
As always when your finished, make sure you save as draft for later or save and activate for immediate use.
