Step 3. First, name the subcategory. In this case we’re refining the Dolls and Accessories category by adding a subcategory for our Madame Alexander line.

Click the arrow next to Parent, and choose the category this one is part of.

Now, you can put new product into the subcategory, or reassign older products from the main category. Products can be in both, if you like.

 


Category Icons

Category icons are  created and assigned in the same way as top-level categories .

Many people use a toy from the subcategory as the icon. The easiest way to get one is to go to the front end of your site and Right click on the product thumbnail image, and save it to your hard drive.
