Online Store Categories

Online store categories allow campaigns to be assigned to a category which is displayed on the left sidebar when one visits the store. For example, you can organize your campaigns by:

• Organization (PTA, Ed Fund)
• Program (Athletic Booster, Music Program, etc)
• Function (Field Trips, School Supply Kits, etc)

Campaigns can be added to a store category and still appear in the storefront. This is a great way to show featured campaigns. Store categories are optional. If you only have a few items in your storefront, there really isn’t a need to use them. However, if you are running a few pages of campaigns, it’s time to get organized.

Adding Categories

1. In the Admin, under Channels, click Online Store.
2. Click the Categories tab.
3. Click Add Store Category.
4. Enter a Name. To make it a subcategory, pick a Parent Category. Leave it on None (Top-level) for a main category.
5. Click Save. Add as many categories as you need.

Putting a Campaign in a Category

1. Open the campaign and click Edit.
2. Click the Store tab.
3. Make sure Sell in the online store is checked.
4. Choose the category from the Store Category dropdown and save.

The Store Category dropdown only appears once you have at least one category and Sell in the online store is checked.

Sorting Campaigns

On the Categories tab, click Sort next to the storefront or any category to drag its campaigns into the order you want families to see them.

Notes

• A campaign can belong to at most one category
• Subcategories go one level deep: a subcategory can’t have its own subcategories
• Store categories without any campaigns are hidden in the store
• Store categories are displayed in alphabetical order
• The name of the store category supports translations
