There are 2 ways to create Subcategories:

1. You can click the button “Add New” and select the option Subcategory. If we choose this option we have to select the Category from a dropdown list the newly created Subcategory belongs to.

Subcategory Visibility:

You can show/hide a Subcategory on your customer facing apps through the MC. The visibility of a Subcategory can be managed per Store Group and/or Channel.
