Released: Flexible Customisation of Category Pages on Editor is Now Live!
Introducing New Flexibility for Category Pages
We are excited to announce a significant development in the Editor: flexible customisation of product category pages is now available for all merchants using the Editor for their online shop!
The Solution You Have Been Waiting For
Until now, the layout of dynamic category pages was fixed and allowed little scope to tailor it to your product range or current campaigns. In recent weeks, following high demand from our users, we have extended the design options already familiar in the Editor to category pages.
Key Benefits and New Possibilities
Product category pages allow you to present your inventory, which in turn helps your customers find the products they are looking for. This update offers you greater control over the structure and representation of your category pages, making them more individual and fitting for your specific shop, all directly within the Editor and without requiring any programming knowledge.
Tailored Page Structure: You can delete, add, move blocks, and modify their settings to adapt the page structure to your brand identity and current campaigns. This helps you offer a highly relevant shopping experience to your customers, which supports the success of your shop.
New Block Templates for Product Category Pages: The new group Item Category has been added to your existing block template groups. It contains block templates developed specifically for category pages, such as Item Grid, Content Data, and Sorting & Filter. You can also integrate block templates from other groups.
Fine-Grained Element Control: Within several blocks, you can use drag and drop to change the order of elements (e.g., price, button, or filter facets) or hide elements. This allows you to position components exactly where they are most relevant for your customers.
Custom Images and Introductory Texts per Category: With the new Category-Data block template, you can display texts and images that you have maintained in the backend, directly on the category pages. Displaying this supplementary information can help appeal emotionally to customers and support your SEO measures.
Multilingual Setup: You can edit and save a different category structure for each language configured in your shop.
All Options, No Obligations
The new function is available to everyone who wishes to customise their category pages individually. Merchants who do not want to make changes can continue to use the predefined standard structure.
How to Start
These new features will be available after updating your shop instance.
Navigate to the Page Maintenance area of your Editor.
Select a product category.
Click the Edit button to modify, delete, or add blocks to the layout.
See the impact of your changes directly in the preview, or click the Preview Link to view the page without editing elements.
What's Next
This first iteration already offers you significant flexibility. Furthermore, we are continuously working to improve usability and flexibility by further expanding the options. Examples include individual layouts per category, as well as the customisation of product detail pages, which we are currently working on.
