What are options and categories?

Categories
You can divide your products into different Categories, for example, brands or groups. If you assign categories a menu appears allowing your customers to view only products of a certain category.

Options
You can use Options to specify different types of a product, for example, sizes and colors. A menu appears after a customer has selected a product.
