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 |

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.
