To add a new sub-category to your store catalog:
- Log in to your Zen Cart store Admin
- From the Catalog menu, select Categories/Products.
- Click through to the category you wish to create a sub-category within. In this example, I have selected Hardware by clicking either on the green Edit icon or on the category name.
- Click on the New Category button. Note: A category cannot contain both products and sub-categories. You will not see the New Category button if the category already contains products. Likewise, for a category that contains sub-categories, the New Product button will not be available.

- Enter a name for the category in the Category Name field.
- Enter a description in the Category Description field.
- Either select an image by using the Browse button or type an image name (that has already been FTP’d to your server) in the filename box.
- If you would like your categories to appear in a specific order, enter a number in the Sort Order field.
- Click the Save button to create the new sub-category.
