Product category tree chart example.

A product category tree organizes a catalogue from broad departments down to the groups customers browse. It is helpful before building a menu, importing products or assigning ownership of content. Start with a few clear top-level categories and avoid putting the same item in several branches unless the shop supports cross-listing. The diagram makes gaps and overly broad categories visible early. For a larger catalogue, expand the relevant branch one level at a time rather than trying to show every SKU in one drawing.
