Taxonomies

Taxonomies define reusable classification systems for products.

TruCommerce taxonomies management screen

Taxonomies define structured classification systems used to organize products.

What this feature is for

Taxonomies define reusable classification systems for products. Use them when the catalogue needs a structured grouping dimension beyond the built-in category/tag concepts, especially when that structure will be reused across many products.

A practical way to use it

  1. Decide what classification question the taxonomy answers.
  2. Create the taxonomy before bulk-assigning products.
  3. Add/maintain the relevant terms through the supported taxonomy workflow.
  4. Assign products consistently so filters/browsing remain useful.

How it connects to other features

Store Settings can choose which product taxonomies participate in the store. Product assignments then make those taxonomies useful to storefront layouts/widgets that expose them.

What to expect after changes

Changing a taxonomy structure can affect many product listings/filters at once. Avoid creating overlapping taxonomies that encode the same customer-facing concept in different ways.
