Best Practices

Category Organization

1. Keep it Simple: Use 5-10 top-level categories maximum
2. Be Descriptive: Names should be self-explanatory
3. Think Like Customers: Organize by how customers shop
4. Use Groups: Group related categories together

Attribute Management

1. Reuse Attributes: Create once, use across products
2. Consistent Naming: Use standard terminology
3. Limit Options: Too many choices overwhelm customers
4. Visual Aids: Add images to help customers choose

Addon Strategy

1. Value-Add Items: Focus on genuinely helpful extras
2. Clear Pricing: Be transparent about addon costs
3. Relevant Suggestions: Match addons to product types
4. Don't Overwhelm: 3-5 addons per product maximum
