  • Image: This will be the standard image of the group.

  • Slug*: Slugs should reflect the category name or product type that will be added to that category. They can contain letters, dashes, and numbers, but no spaces or other characters, including periods. (e.g. mystore.com/products/organic-soaps)

  • Position*: Before or After will indicate where you would like the current category to be listed with another specific category.
