Best practices for organizing categories

    Hi!

    We are building a jewelry woocommerce website. We are struggle how to organize categories, bellow is our current system.

    Woman (Parent category)
    – Necklaces (child)
    – Bracelets (child)
    – Rings (child)
    – Earrings (child)
    – Gifts (child)

    Man (Parent category)
    – Necklaces (child)
    – Bracelets (child)
    – Rings (child)
    – Gifts (child)

    Gifts (Parent category)
    – Woman (child)
    – Man (child)

    We want the user to be able to shop by type as well, so can we we display both Woman and Man bracelets on one page? Would it make more sense to not have any parent categories? But how would we display only woman bracelets on one page then?

    What are best practices in this situation, because many shops have this type of organization?

    And another thing are attributes. We have product from different categories with the attribute “summer collection”. How can we display only product that have this attribute but still be able to filter those products by type and parent category?

    I hope someone will understand our struggle, any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Hi @lapd

    Thanks for your question!

    We want the user to be able to shop by type as well, so can we we display both Woman and Man bracelets on one page? Would it make more sense to not have any parent categories? But how would we display only woman bracelets on one page then?

    More into your specific question: But how would we display only woman bracelets on one page then?.

    You can use a shortcode for that, so you can create page and then copy paste a shortcode on that page like this example (say the category ID of Woman Bracelet is 212:

    [products category="212"]

    The above shortcode will show products from that category only.

    Please refer to our doc on shortcode usage: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/#section-9

    I hope that helps!
