Products in WooCommerce are organized by categories. You can change the category of a product by editing the product and selecting a new category from the dropdown list.

If you want to bulk edit products and change their categories, you can do so using the WooCommerce Bulk Edit tool. This tool allows you to select multiple products and then bulk edit their details, including categories.

To change product categories in WooCommerce:

1. Edit the product that you want to change the category for and select a new category from the dropdown list.

2. Alternatively, you can use the WooCommerce Bulk Edit tool to bulk edit products and change their categories.

3. Save your changes and your products will be updated with the new categories.

PRO TIP: If you are considering changing product categories in WooCommerce, be aware that this could have a negative impact on your store’s performance. In particular, if you have a lot of products and/or product variations, changing categories can be very time-consuming and may cause your site to slow down.
