Modifying Categories

Modifying a category includes the following tasks:

Modifying the values of the category attributes such as the Display Name and Description.
Defining merchandising relationships to other products and categories.

Merchandising consists of creating associations between products and/or categories in order to enhance sales. Merchandising uses the MerchandiseType Lookup as defined by the Administrator. For more specifics see Managing Lookups. For example, MerchandiseType could include Accessories, Bundled Items, Replacement part or Cross- and Up-Sell options.

In Orckestra Commerce Cloud, products can be added to category using the multi-selection options.

Tip: while modifying a category, you cannot navigate away from the Category Details panel unless you either save or discard your changes.
