Web categories make up the foundation and navigation of your App and Web, these are what the customers see when they arrive at the explore page.

The categories can be configured to offer different kinds of products and services to your customers, you pick the size, images, texts and colors for each category.
You are also able to use a category as a building block for your explore page, by inserting a title between categories as a divider for example. Web categories can also be sorted and rearranged from BRP.

The "Show" checkbox must be ticked for the web category to be visible.

The 'Show on customer website' checkbox indicates whether the web category should be displayed on the Web.

The 'Show in app' checkbox indicates whether the web category should be displayed in the App.

It is possible to change the order of the web categories with the "Up/Down" buttons in the list where you see all web categories. You can also sort products within the subscription web category with the “Up/Down” arrows.

Check the "Featured" box and the web category is enlarged to the full width of the Web, in the app the box grows in height.

Check "Include in: Shortcuts" if the web category should be included in the shortcut button in on the Web. This setting can also be retrieved via API3.

It is not possible to change the type of web category, or the product type within a web category, if there’s products added to it. If you want to change the product type of a web category (or the type of the category itself) you need to first remove the products from it. (TP61171 / 2024.41)
