• Each category has: name, slug, description
• Supports multi-language
• AJAX inline creation from the product editor

Frontend URL: /product-category/{slug}

Product Tags

Flat taxonomy for product tagging.

Admin → Products → Tags

Frontend URL: /product-tag/{slug}

Variable Products

Variable products have options like size or color, each with their own price and stock.

Creating a Variable Product

1. Create a product as normal
2. Scroll to the Variations section
3. Add variation attributes (e.g., Size: S, M, L)
4. For each variation, set: price, sale price, SKU, stock status

Frontend: Customers select from dropdowns, price updates dynamically.

Add custom fields to products using the ACPT system:

Product Reviews

Customers can leave star ratings and text reviews on product pages.

Moderate reviews: Admin → Shop → Reviews
