Add a new Root Category

Last Modified Dec 9, 2025

  1. Navigate to Taxonomy > Categories in the main menu.
  2. Click Add Root Category.
    • Enter the category Name and Description.
    • Enter a URL Key that is used to build a human-readable URL for the category page in the store.
i

The URL key must be unique within the site. No two products, categories, or other pages can have the same URL key, as this would cause navigation conflicts. If a URL key that already exists is generated, a numeric suffix will be added to differentiate it (product-name-1, product-name-2).
Only alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), hyphens (-), and underscores (_) are allowed.
The URL key should be readable and representative of the content. Irrelevant or redundant words should be avoided.

In the absence of a URL key, the category ID will be used in its place.
