PrestaShop Category List Management

Having the ability to perform multiple manipulations with your PrestaShop category list using functions placed close to each other makes category management fast and convenient. Since PrestaShop admin functionalities provided for category list ordering are quite limited, the Store Manager tries to enable the missing options.

It is tremendously important to keep your category tree well-organized, because usually, shoppers search for products by category names, e.g. Dresses, Laptops, Accessories, etc. Having your categories mixed up or containing the wrong products might push your customers away and make them leave your store to save their time and nerves.

Rich PrestaShop Store Manager’s category toolkit at hand allows to easily handle even a very complex category tree structure. Most of the options are available in the context menu, so you don’t have to constantly look through the toolbar to find a necessary button. Bearing in mind that many of the above-listed functions are unavailable in PrestaShop admin, Store Manager seems to be a perfect tool for keeping your store neat and well-structured.
