A category page displays a group of products filtered by a section. The page shows custom content at the top (optional) with products automatically populated below based on the section's attribute rules.

Note: Before creating a category page, you must first create a section. See: Creating New Sections for Web Store Pages

For more on how category pages fit into the web store setup process, see: Web Store Setup & Management
