Associating Products to Categories
Categories are used to group similar products. You can have as many categories as you need to organize your catalog in a clear, user-friendly fashion. Publishing products in multiple categories will increase their product visibility in the catalog.
Example: jogging pants can be associated with the mens', womens' and outdoor wear clothing categories.
