What does Categories Uncomplicated do?

It builds a hierarchical set of categories and sub-categories from your existing Shopify navigation menus, then shows sub-category drill-down icons and category-based breadcrumbs on your collection and product pages - so shoppers can see how products are grouped and find what they want faster.

Does Shopify support sub-categories - and how does this app help?

Shopify has no native sub-collections; everything is a flat collection. Categories Uncomplicated gives you true-feeling, multi-level category navigation by reading the menus you already maintain, so you get category depth without building a separate taxonomy.

Do I need to build a separate category structure?

No. The app reads your standard Shopify Menus. Change a menu and your categories, icons and breadcrumbs follow - nothing extra to manage.

How do I get it on my Shopify store?

Install it from the Shopify App Store - see the App Store listing for current pricing, plans and trial details, and to add it to your store with one click.

Does it add breadcrumbs and JSON-LD too?

Yes. It shows category-based breadcrumbs and emits structured BreadcrumbList JSON-LD on collection and product pages, which is good for SEO. The breadcrumb capability of Breadcrumbs Uncomplicated is included.

Is it multilingual?

Yes, in two distinct ways. The app’s own admin interface (settings, labels, instructions) is available in English, Spanish, German and French. Separately, the category breadcrumbs and sub-category icons rendered on your storefront work with any language your store supports through Shopify Translate & Adapt - so a Japanese, Polish or any other store gets fully localized navigation, even though the app’s admin interface itself only ships in the four languages above.

Which themes are supported?

All modern Online Store 2.0 themes via drag-and-drop in the Shopify Theme Editor. Older 1.0 (“vintage”) themes are supported with an embed - see the Vintage themes guide.
