It is an option that we provide, not a requirement. Please take a few moments and go through each of our communities and sub-communities to find the most specific and proper placement for your products. Choose at least one and up to five places to have your URL listed. Categories can be removed keeping in mind that anything that resides under the category or sub-category will be removed as well. Categories and sub-categories are the main structure of the catalog and should be well thought out as they are the base that everything else will build upon.
Every catalog is completely different.
There isn t One way to configure what will work best for you. Many people find that there is no need for more than main categories with products placed directly under the main level. Other people require complex tree structures that allow customers to find specific products starting from a general topic. People who sell only one line of products can often list the products directly at the main level without needing categories at all. We highly suggest browsing through current catalogs in order to find structures and design ideas that might inspire you.
