Product Categorization
Overview
A well-structured product taxonomy makes products findable and drives SEO through category pages. Every platform handles categorization differently: Shopify uses Collections and tags, WooCommerce uses hierarchical Categories and tags, and BigCommerce uses Categories with subcategories. Understanding the platform's native model and configuring it correctly is more impactful than building a custom taxonomy system.
When to Use This Skill
- When building a product catalog that needs a navigable category tree (clothing > women > dresses)
- When migrating a flat product list into a structured taxonomy
- When breadcrumb navigation is missing or generating wrong paths
- When category pages need SEO-optimized URLs and meta tags
- When ingesting large supplier catalogs that need automatic categorization
