Category management helps organize your rental products into clear, easy-to-browse sections. Whether you sort by product type, use case, or customer need, categories make it simpler for customers to find what they’re looking for, and for you to manage your inventory at scale.
Why this feature matters
- Makes your storefront easier to navigate, especially when you offer many products.
- Reduces booking friction by helping customers find relevant items faster.
- Gives you control over how your products are grouped, displayed, and promoted.
- Supports different business models, like separating DIY tools from professional gear, or kids’ parties from corporate events.
How Be‑Bookable solves it
- Easily add categories with names, short descriptions, and images that represent each group.
- Edit or update any category at any time, great for seasonal or changing inventories.
- Choose whether each category is visible in your storefront or used only internally.
- Assign products to categories directly from the product management screen for efficient setup.
- Categories display as clean, clickable cards that help customers browse with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I assign one product to multiple categories?
No. Currently, each product can only be assigned to one category at a time.
Do categories affect product visibility?
Yes. If a category is hidden, products inside it are still visible—but the category card won’t appear in the storefront.
Can I change the order of categories?
Not yet. Categories are currently sorted by creation date, but manual sorting is on the roadmap.
