How the Web Categories are used - and how they are different from Product Categories and Price Categories.
- Price Categories are used for setting up product price levels with special pricing. They are not actual categories on products or on the web.
- Product Categories are used on the Category field on your actual products. They are a category usually provided by a head office or imported by you as a category you want your product under for reporting purposes and possibly also web purposes.
