In General Information, you specify such parameters as: Name, Is Active, URL Key, Description, Image (upload it right here), and Page Title.

Next, there are Meta Keywords and Description, Include in Navigation Menu, Main navigation menu style (None or Mega-Menu with background image), Mega-menu background image and Mega-menu background link target (both options are available for the appropriate menu style).

In Display Settings, you choose Display Mode (Products, Static block, Products + Static block) and CMS Block (select a static block here), activate Anchor, decide how to sort Available Product Listing (Position/Name/Price or use all attributes) and Default Product Listing (Position/Name/Price or use config settings), as well as configure Layered Navigation Price Step (specify necessary parameters or tick the Use Config Settings option).

In Custom Design, you can use parent category settings, apply your custom design to products, choose custom design, specify time intervals of its activity, decide what page layout to use, and add custom layout update.

In Category Products, you have a grid with products from the category you are configuring. It is possible to hide certain products from your Mega Menu here.

Frontend
