Turn categories into a shoppable storefront experience
One suite for category navigation, branded landing pages, guarded SEO, and safe scheduled publishing — built for the Odoo eCommerce catalog.
The problem
Odoo’s native category handling is functional but plain: categories sit in a bare sidebar filter, category pages cannot be customized, there is no rich description or SEO metadata, and taking a category live or offline has no safeguards or scheduling. Merchants end up commissioning custom development just to make their catalog feel intentional and discoverable.
The solution
Website Product Categories Suite adds a category-driven header menu, branded landing pages with subtitles and live product counts, guarded SEO metadata with live previews, three drag-and-drop shop-by-category snippets, and safe, schedulable publish controls — all built directly on Odoo’s existing product category model.
Everything a category needs, in one suite
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Category header menu
Auto-generate a responsive, mobile-collapsible website header menu from your category hierarchy, with hover dropdowns for subcategories and an option to hide selected categories from guests. Turn it on with a single toggle in Website settings.
Branded category pages
Give every category a subtitle and a live product count on its storefront page, replacing Odoo’s bare default layout with a page that looks intentional and on-brand.
SEO guardrails
Edit meta-title, meta-description, and slug per category with a live character-count widget and a Google-style search-result preview, plus bulk SEO editing across many categories from the list view.
Safe unpublishing
Unpublishing a category runs through a confirmation wizard that warns you when the category still has active products, preventing an accidental storefront outage.
Scheduled publishing
Set a publish date and an unpublish date on any category and let an hourly scheduled action bring it online or take it down automatically for campaigns and seasonal drops.
Shop by Category grid
Drop a drag-and-drop website-builder snippet that displays your categories as a clean visual grid, ready to place on any page.
Auto-scrolling carousel
Showcase categories in an infinite, auto-scrolling carousel snippet, giving shoppers a visual alternative to list browsing.
Two-pane category browser
Let shoppers click a parent category to reveal its children in a second pane, then click straight through to a pre-filtered shop page — a faster path through deep hierarchies.
Backend list & form overview
See product counts, publish status, and SEO columns for every category in one list, with a decoration for unpublished rows and an option to roll child-category products into the parent count.
How it works
Turn on the header menu
Enable the category header menu for your website from Website > Configuration > Settings.
Build the category page
Add a subtitle and description to each category so its storefront page looks branded and complete.
Tune SEO with guardrails
Fill in meta-title, description, and slug per category, watching the live character count and search preview, or bulk-edit several at once.
Place snippets & schedule
Drag a grid, carousel, or browser snippet onto any page, then schedule publish and unpublish dates for upcoming campaigns.
