Organizing Categories / Shopify Collections

Q: I am trying to find a way to organize the categories as they come over from turn 14 into their respective categories on my site. For example, all brake related items to the brake category.

A: We create the categories as Collections in your Shopify store; so for instance your brake-related parts, will automatically go into that category/Collection, and you don’t have to do anything.

The app also creates category tags, if that checkbox is on in Content. These tags are there for plugins to use to generate category menus or whatever you like to organize your store. You can check out Mega Menu as a plugin that could possibly be used to sort items into categories by tags, but we don’t get into the web design end of things too much. We’ve just heard that it works well for some of our other customers. 

This is the checkbox you need to have turned on for the app to generate the category-based tags:

Turn 14 Distribution’s longstanding partnership with Data Here-to-There has helped countless ecommerce businesses integrate their inventory into Shopify and BigCommerce: “Jay reached out to us back in 2018, and we worked through the integration process. By the middle of the pandemic, we had launched the first Shopify app. It was the first time a company had approached us saying, ‘We want to build an app on a platform,’ and now it’s one of the most heavily used integration options available”, explains Dan.
