20. Create Product

45. Create Woocommerce Category

46. Product categories • Product categories are the primary way to group products with similar features. You can also add subcategories if desired. • For example, if you sell clothing, you might have “t-shirts”, “hoodies” and “pants” as categories. • How to add/edit product categories • Categories are managed from the Products > Categories screen. • Similar to categories on your posts in WordPress, you can add, delete, and edit product categories. • Add a Name. • Add a Slug (optional); this is the URL-friendly version of the name. • Choose a Parent if this is a subcategory. • Enter a Description (optional); some themes display this. • Choose the Display type. Decide what is shown on the category’s landing page. “Standard” uses your theme’s default. “Subcategories” will display only the subcategories. “Products” only displays products. “Both” will display subcategories and products below that. • Upload/Add Image (optional);  Some themes have pages where product category images are displayed, so this is a good idea.

49. Create Woocommerce Tags

50. Product tags What are product tags? Product tags are another way to relate products to each other, next to product categories. Contrary to categories, there is no hierarchy in tags; so there are no “subtags.” For example, if you sell clothing, and you have a lot of cat prints, you could make a tag for “cat.” Then add that tag to the menu or sidebar so cat lovers can easily find all t-shirts, hoodies, and pants with cat prints. How to add/edit product tags Tags can be added similarly to adding product categories and work in exactly the same way as post tags. See the WordPress.org Codex for more information.
