Dividing items into categories

Site URL: https://www.vibrantlylivingsara.com/shop

Hi... 

I started creating my shop last night and all items are all appearing on my main page. I wondered if I could have then divided into categories on the main page with the different options in a bar on top to chose from and then people can click on each category and see those items within the category.

I don't want them to have to endlessly scroll through all the items I am adding to my shop.

Many thanks,
Sara

@paul2009thanks for this ! That's amazing. I can now see it... 

Do you know by any chance how you can change the order of the categories ? 

I currently have them : All - Oil Blends - Single Oils - Starter Kits - Wellness

But I would want them to be : All - Starter Kits - Single Oils - Oil Blends - Wellness ?

Thanks so much for your help !

The category list usually appears in alphabetical order because this is predictable; it is what the user will expect and it's very effective because it's the optimal order for users to scan quickly.

On Squarespace 7.0 there isn't a feature that allows you to reorder them (there's a feature on 7.1) but if you're feeling adventurous you can do it with some code. Here's a link to another thread that should help you:

@paul2009 oh that makes sense now. 

Will have a look. Thanks again for your help !
