A product category is the predefined category of a product. Categories can be used to determine the rate at which the product is taxed. Your products may be subject to special rates or exemptions. When a product is categorized correctly, the most accurate tax rate will be collected at checkout. It can also be used to make it easier to sell products on other channels that require a standardized product type like Facebook. Shoplazza provides two options for you to use. You can use your own Custom categories, or Google's categories.

1. From your Shoplazza Admin > Products > click Categories. From here, choose the categories you want to create.
2. If you would like to create custom categories. Create a first-level category and edit the first-level category name.
3. Create a second-level category under the first-level category, and then the third category under the second level. You can always add categories by clicking the (+) sign.
