# Add Products to Your Categories

**Add Products to Your Categories**

Some shoppers like to leisurely browse while others know what they want. Make it easy for everyone with product categories.

**By** **organizing your products into categories, customers can easily navigate your store and find your products.**

**Here's how to do it:**

1. When you're creating a **new product or editing an existing one,** click **Add** **Categories** or **Edit** **Categories** to open the categories list popup
2. **Search** **or scroll to find categories**, and **select the box beside each category name**
3. Click **Apply** to assign your selected categories to the product and return to the **Product page**

If your store has a large number of categories, you may find it more convenient to click the **Advanced** option below the **Categories** label. You can then **add categories by their ID numbers**, separated by commas.

**Creating New Categories**

If you want to create a new category to which you can assign products, click the **Create New Category** link (to the right of **Edit Categories)** and **assign it to a navigation menu**.

**Additional options** are available when setting up categories at **Inventory \> Categories.**

**Summary**

An organized store is a well-shopped store. By assigning products to existing categories and creating new ones, you can provide an intuitive shopping experience that allows customers to find what they're looking for and discover even more products.
