Category variables let you define a set of fields and fill in different values per category. Each product automatically gets the content matching its primary category. Same schema, different values per category.
Set them up on the Categories tab in Settings > Content Logic.
How to use them
- Define a schema — Create fields (e.g.,
material, care_instructions) with a key, label, and type (text, long text, or URL).
- Fill in values per category — Select each category and enter its specific values.
- Reference in content — Use
{{category.your_key}} in any formula-enabled field. Each product resolves to its primary category’s value.
Use case examples
1. Category introductions for short descriptions
Write a one-liner per category and inject it into every product’s short description using Set Field Value.
Key: short_intro | Value |
|---|
| Fasteners | High-grade fasteners for structural and industrial applications. |
| Electrical | Industrial electrical components for professional wiring and installations. |
| Safety Equipment | Personal protective equipment meeting EU safety standards. |
{{product.name}} by {{product.brand}}. {{category.short_intro}}
“Stainless Steel Hex Bolt M10x50 by Fischer. High-grade fasteners for structural and industrial applications.”
2. Material specifications per product type
Different categories use different materials. Store them per category instead of per product.
Key: material | Value |
|---|
| Fasteners | Stainless Steel AISI 304 |
| Electrical | Copper / PVC insulation |
| Plumbing | Brass CW617N |
| Safety Equipment | High-tenacity polyester / polycarbonate |
Reference in descriptions:
Material: {{category.material}}
3. Care and maintenance instructions
Every product category has different care requirements.
Key: care_instructions | Value |
|---|
| Fasteners | Store in dry conditions. Avoid contact with dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion. |
| Electrical | Keep away from moisture. Inspect insulation regularly. Comply with local electrical codes. |
| Safety Equipment | Inspect before each use. Replace after impact. Clean with mild soap and water. |
| Paints & Coatings | Store between 5-30°C. Keep container sealed. Dispose of according to local regulations. |
Append to descriptions with Append/Prepend:

4. Size and measurement guides
Link to category-specific sizing resources.
Key: size_guide_url (URL type) | Value |
|---|
| Fasteners | /guides/fastener-sizes |
| Electrical | /guides/wire-gauges |
| Pipes & Fittings | /guides/pipe-dimensions |
| Safety Equipment | /guides/ppe-sizing |

5. MOQ and ordering info per category
Different product types may have different minimum order quantities.
Key: moq | Value |
|---|
| Fasteners | 100 |
| Electrical | 25 |
| Heavy Machinery | 1 |
| Safety Equipment | 10 |
Minimum order: {{category.moq}} units. {{global.lead_time_text}}
“Minimum order: 100 units. Ships within 3-5 business days.”
6. Category-specific SEO keywords
Pre-define keyword sets per category and inject them into meta keywords.
Key: seo_keywords | Value |
|---|
| Fasteners | bolts, nuts, screws, anchors, fixings, industrial fasteners |
| Electrical | cables, wiring, connectors, circuit breakers, electrical supplies |
| Safety Equipment | PPE, safety helmet, safety glasses, protective gloves, workwear |
Set SEO Keywords using Set Field Value:
{{product.name}}, {{product.brand}}, {{category.seo_keywords}}
7. Regulatory standards per product type
Different categories fall under different standards and certifications.
Key: standards | Value |
|---|
| Fasteners | EN 14399, ISO 4014, DIN 931 |

| Heavy Machinery | Freight shipping required. Delivery by appointment. Pallet or crate packaging. |
| Fasteners | Standard parcel shipping. |
| Electrical | Handle with care. Anti-static packaging included. |
Use in a conditional block or append directly:
Shipping: {{category.shipping_note}}
9. Installation guides per category
Link to or embed installation instructions relevant to the product type.
Key: installation_text | Value |

Tips
- Category variables are resolved using the product’s primary category. Make sure your products have a primary category set — use Set Primary Category to assign them in bulk.
- Combine category variables with brand variables for multi-layered content — e.g.,
{{category.short_intro}} {{brand.tagline}}.
- The progress indicator (“3/5 filled”) helps you track which categories still need values entered.
