Categories

Default categories are used for both organization and behavior.

One way to use default categories is to organize the presentation of products in the store. Service Design Center allows you to create a hierarchy of categories to help with organization and presentation, which also define how products are viewed by the customer: The sub-categories can appear as tabs or carousels within the top-level categories. See Store Management With Categories for more information.

Another way to use default categories is to feature products and offers. Specifically formatted URLs in these type of default categories tie them to layout components in the branding framework, which define presentation of banners used to display featured products and offers. You can then use product and category rules in restrictions to define which segments of your user base can see these featured products and offers. See Featured Products for more information.

And another way is to use them to create custom store experiences.

Sign-up categories are used to group sets of products and fees customers can receive automatically. A sign-up category has several settings that determine how and when accounts or subscribers receive the products and fees within the category.

There are two sub-types of sign-up categories, determined in the category settings:

• Sign-up: Receives all
• Sign-up: Chooses one
