Hierarchical product classification. Categories organize products into navigable groups and may support parent/child relationships, SEO metadata, images, ordering, and active state.

Typical operations

  • Create and update category metadata.
  • Assign a parent category where hierarchy is supported.
  • Associate products with one or more categories according to the data model.
  • Control visibility and display order.
  • Resolve category paths for storefront navigation.

Implementation guidance

Prevent cycles in a category tree, validate parent identifiers, and consider the impact of deleting or deactivating a category that still has products or child categories. Use stable slugs/identifiers and escape any rich text rendered by the storefront.

Verify

Confirm the actual category entity, parent relation, product join, unique constraints, and route registration in the v6 source. Do not copy v5 endpoint paths into a v6 integration without testing.
