Turn product categories into smart collections and navigation

The new Category Organizer turns the categories on your products into shopper-facing smart collections and a navigation menu, using a guided, review-then-apply flow.

What's New

Categorify has always categorized products quietly in the background. The Category Organizer is the deliberate "organize my store" step built on top of that foundation. It reads the categories already on your products and produces a browsable storefront with collections and navigation in just a few clicks.

The output is Shopify smart collections, which are defined by rules, not hand-picked product lists. Once a collection exists, any newly-categorized product that matches its rule flows in automatically. Categorize first, organize once, and the navigation stays current on its own.

How It Works

An Organize Run moves through three stages:

1. Scanning — Reads your catalog and builds a Category Distribution: which taxonomy categories are actually in use and how many products each contains. You can optionally filter by Vertical (top-level category) or product tags.
2. Proposed — AI suggests how to group and name your collections based on your guidance, while ensuring every category lands somewhere (including a catch-all "Other" group). You review and edit the proposal before anything is applied.
3. Applying — Creates each group as a smart collection, and optionally links them into a navigation menu.

AI proposes the shape, you review and approve, then Categorify builds it. The process is assistive and reviewable, not a black box.

Pricing

An Organize Run costs 50 credits. That includes scanning, the proposed structure (which you can edit), creating the collections, and adding menu items to a navigation menu.

Get Started

Open Categorify and click Organize in the navigation. The guided flow walks you through each step.
