Product Categories

Organize configurable products into a hierarchy of categories. Each category has a localized name and a unique code, and can have a parent category and connected products.

Use categories to synchronize a catalogue navigation structure. Products provides the configurable product records; Product Groups serves sharing and embedding workflows.

Important behaviour

Create parent categories before assigning children. Manage connected products separately from general category settings: PUT replaces membership, POST adds members and the remove operation disconnects selected products. Preserve complete translation maps when changing a name. New categories are inactive by default.
