How do I create shop categories for my products and designs?

In order to add categories through links or dropdowns within your shop, you would need to have some basic HTML knowledge. Alternatively you can create categories by altering your shop's header and footer.

There are three different ways you can link to your products: through design, product or text searches. For the example link below, replace the asterisks with the Shop ID and appropriate information.

• In order to show all items with a certain design, the Design ID is needed for the code. Find the design ID (design_id) by clicking on Designs in your shop menu, and then hovering over the design that you want.

  Example link: http://*****.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/Index/design/*******

  Practical example: http://48574.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/Index/design/1662292

• In order to show all articles in a certain product category, you would use the following: http://48574.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/Index/productTypeCategory/2

  Each Product Category ID is listed below.

  Men=1
  Women=2
  Junior=16
  Jacket=12
  Sweatshirt=3
  Kids=4
  Underwear=8
  Accessories=9
  Cap=5
  Gift=14
  Sneakers=284
  
  Another alternative using product categories is to link to all articles in a certain category you created: http://48574.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/Index/category/6494

• The third linking alternative incorporates your product name with the search/text code. You would need to name the product with the appropriate word you are searching for. Spaces in between words will not be recognized.

  Example: http://48574.spreadshirt.com/us/US/Shop/Index/Index/search/Angel links to all products with "Angel" in their name.
