Custom category content
Add any type of custom content to your category pages with the "custom category content" tool. (See also the extra product content tool for product details pages.)
Features include:
- customise the appearance of your category pages
- add any kind of content, including dynamic content from apps like FAQ, testimonials, gallery, slideshow and more, or any kind of normal content, including video
- ideal for supporting advertising campaigns
The extra category content tool is available on the Advanced plan or as part of the extra product content add-on for the Ecommerce plan.
Add custom content to a category page
- Ensure you're on the Advanced plan (or have enabled this add-on for Ecommerce).
- In the manage products section of the shop app, edit any category and enable the Customise page content option.
- The "Manage content" button will open the full page editor in a new browser tab. Add your content using the content block menu, then save and close the tab when you're finished editing.
- Where the editor shows {category_name}, this text will be automatically replaced in the live site by your category name.
- Where the editor shows {category_breadCrumbs}, this text will be automatically replaced in the live site by the category's breadcrumbs (linked text that tells your visitors where they are in your shop).
- You can completely change the appearance and location of either of these things if you like.
- Back in the Edit category window, Save all changes to start showing your custom content on the category page.
Tips
- Use the Manage content button (step 3) to return at any time to make further changes.
- You can temporarily hide custom content by toggling the Customise page content option instead of deleting it and having to recreate it later.
