Categories

Product categories are a crucial component of the Tamio API. They serve as essential organizational tools for merchants who handle an extensive array of items, streamlining inventory management and enhancing the shopping experience for customers. Categories function similarly to folders, establishing a hierarchical structure, akin to a tree, for your products. Here's an illustrative example of how you might structure your categories:

Electronics -> Laptops -> Tablets -> Mobile Phones

In this structure, 'Electronics' operates as the parent category, encompassing several subcategories such as 'Laptops', 'Tablets', and 'Mobile Phones'. Each subcategory can then house specific products relevant to it. This hierarchical system enables you to segregate your offerings systematically and makes it easier for you to manage your extensive inventory.

But the utility of product categories extends beyond just inventory organization. When used in conjunction with the Tamio Site builder, categories can shape the structure of your online shop's menus. This integration enables your shop to present a well-organized display of your offerings, grouped logically for the customers' convenience. Customers can leverage these categories to browse through your shop's inventory, making their search for products more straightforward and targeted. The categorization system also supports searching functionality, allowing customers to find exactly what they're looking for quickly and effortlessly.
