How To Add a Product Category in Website Builder

Organise your Online Store's Products by creating Categories in Website Builder, which will make shopping easy for your customers.

Important: The Store option is only available for the eCommerce Website Builder plan and will not appear on all other Website Builder plans. If you want to easily set up an Online Store with complete SSL protection and easy setup and monitoring of Products and Orders, you will need to upgrade your current Website Builder plan or purchase a new eCommerce Website Builder plan.
