1. Understand Taxonomies
In StoreConnect, each store uses a taxonomy to organize product categories.
A taxonomy is essentially the root structure that contains all your product categories.
When your store is first created, a default taxonomy is also created.
If you create additional stores, you’ll need to manually create a new taxonomy for each.
2. Access Your Store’s Taxonomy
In Salesforce, open the StoreConnect App.
Go to StoreConnect Navigation > Configuration > Stores.
Select your store and scroll to the Key Relationships tab.
Under Taxonomies, click on the existing taxonomy to manage it.
3. Create a New Product Category
Inside the taxonomy record, scroll to Categories Belonging to This Taxonomy.
Click New to create a new category:
Enter a name (e.g., “Toys”, “Apparel”).
Make sure it’s assigned to the correct taxonomy.
Click Save.
Once saved, this category will appear in the menu header of your website automatically (after a refresh), even if it contains no products yet.
4. Add Child Categories (Optional)
To create subcategories, open an existing category (e.g., All Products).
Scroll to Children of This Category and click New.
Select the new category you created earlier to nest it as a child.
Click Save.
Parent categories display all products assigned to both themselves and their child categories.
5. Assign Products to Categories
Open any product record (e.g., Steve Plushy).
Scroll to Categories Containing This Product.
Remove it from old categories (if needed) and add it to the new category or subcategory.
Click Save.
Now the product will appear in both the subcategory and its parent category if applicable.
6. Verify on the Website
Go to your live StoreConnect storefront.
Refresh the page to see:
New categories in the main menu.
Products listed on the pages of their assigned categories and subcategories.
