Shopify is a great platform for any merchant with a product or service to sell. However, one major limitation with Shopify is that lack of a comprehensive categorizing system. While there are apps out there that attempt to add the ability to create multiple categories, they are clunky and difficult to use. Both sides of the purchasing process desire a better system:

  • Online shoppers need a system that allows them to find what they are looking for quickly and easily while also being mindful of other products that they may be interested in purchasing in addition to their original search
  • Merchants need a system that easily adapts to changing product offers and services, and is unbounded by technical limitations

Categories by BTP provides the ability to create categories out of Shopify smart collections and gives merchants free reign to customize their product categories to be as deep and intuitive as they want. The system is designed to provide merchants with the following:

  • Virtually unlimited nesting
  • Easy-to-use interface
  • Drag-and-drop new and existing smart collections into categories with a simple click and drag of the mouse
  • Advanced settings for making the process of adding products to the collections more efficient
  • Better search engine indexing of your product pages for better SEO

Please note that this application works exclusively with smart collections. If your shop uses custom collections, please visit our FAQ page for instructions on how to convert your existing custom collections to smart collections.
