It is important to categorize products in your store. This is because it helps to de-clutter your WooCommerce store.

Categorizing also helps to guide users to the page or product they want. Customers can easily scan and find the products they are searching for.

However, it is important to add product categories first in WooCommerce. Let us get right into it.
