Categories
How to create and manage product categories to organize your catalogue effectively.
What are Categories?
Categories help you organize your products into groups. For example, a clothing store might have categories like "Shirts", "Pants", and "Accessories". A restaurant might use "Appetizers", "Main Course", and "Desserts".
Every product in Cashvio belongs to a category.
