▪ Categories page URL is a web address provided to the categories page on

your Eshopbox. Create a categories page URL which is simpler than

system generated categories page URL

dynamic categories page URL generated automatically by system. You can

rewrite this categories page URL to

http://www.yourstore.com/category/homeappliances. This is a simpler

brand page URL and easily understandable
