How Do I Add a Category in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 18, 2023 @ 12:10 pm

Adding a category in WooCommerce is simple. To do so, log into your WordPress Dashboard and navigate to Products > Categories.

From here, you can either add a new category or edit an existing one.

Adding a new category is simple. Enter the name of your category in the Name field and then click the Add New Category button.

You can also add a description for your category if you wish. This is optional but can be helpful for customers when they are browsing your products.

To do so, enter a description in the Description field and then click the Update button.

PRO TIP: If you are adding a new category in WooCommerce, be sure to set the parent category correctly. Otherwise, your new category may not appear in the shop page.
