Swag Shop Categories refer to different types of items available for redemption through the loyalty program's online store, commonly known as the Swag Shop.
Explanation:
Category Groups: This is a broad category that groups similar types of items together. For example, a parent category might be "Apparel," which includes various types of clothing.
Categories: The child category is a more specific sub-category under the parent category. It narrows down the items within the parent category into more defined groups. For instance, under the "Apparel" parent category, you might have child categories like "T-Shirts," "Hats," and "Jackets." Each child category would include items that specifically fall under that sub-category.
Example:
If you're setting up the Swag Shop:
- Category Groups: Electronics
- Categories: Headphones
- Categories: Phone Accessories
- Categories: Smartwatches
Here, "Electronics" is the broad category (Parent), while "Headphones," "Phone Accessories," and "Smartwatches" are the specific categories (Child) that fall under it. The categories help customers more easily navigate and find the specific items they are interested in within the broader category.
