It takes a very long time to go into every sub-sub-sub category and delete them before you can delete your main categories.

14 clicks to get to subcategory zazzle.PNG

Here is an example from my store. The subcategory is 7 levels deep, and you have to click on the Categories tab within each one to get to the next level, so it would take 14 clicks, plus 2 to confirm delete, to get to delete that subcategory. Over many categories, this takes a long time.

If the categories are empty - have no products in them -  then I don't see why we shouldn't be able to delete a category and all the empty sub-categories within it. It would really help me re-organise stores with poorly designed categories.

ALSO, having to edit categories in this way means opening a lot of tabs, which seems to trigger Zazzle's 'Are You A Bot' popup, which REFUSES to close for me no matter how many attempts or if i log out / clear cookies.

Hey @JessicaAmber,

Thank you for your suggestion. I will let the team know.

Talking about categories, there is really something I would to say and suggest. I see the products are already categorized as merch type in the main products gerarchy by main departement menu, for example "Woman fashions/clothing/leggins".

I used category in a different way, suggesting also the mood/trait of the designs. In this way the customer can get the best match searching for a product/design.

I'm new to Zazzle so I do not know how is better about SEO and general management for improve sales. Moreover, I'm not really say this for destroy something or feeling me "Upper".

The category options for designers to organize and manage are very well. It would be good to have a most large management options for that. If you look at my Osearts store you can see I separated "Product types" from "Product mood/trait" category and I used "LowCase" and "UpperCase" to show the difference.

There could maybe be other differences in addition to the two ones I did and explained in paragraph above in this post.

Therefore, there could be the option to create more than one main category gerarchy to let anyone manage everything following their needs.

Best,

Osea C.

Basically, what I mean is makable with current options available, but there maybe could be some new idea for better showing in this ways.

However, I understand @JessicaAmber concern. I prefer consider sometimes it need times to manage products in the store. Most better things is to do and manage it carefully.
