Category breadcrumbs and sub-category icons on a storefront

Organise collections into categories. Shoppers find products faster with icons and breadcrumbs.

Categories Uncomplicated builds a hierarchical set of categories and sub-categories from your existing Shopify navigation menus. On your collection and product pages it shows sub-category drill-down icons and category-based breadcrumbs, so customers can see how your products are grouped, move between related categories, and find what they want faster. Categories stay consistent with the menus you already maintain, with nothing extra to manage.

Build multi-level categories and sub-categories direct from your Shopify menus
Show sub-category drill-down icons on your collection and product pages
Add category-based breadcrumbs with structured JSON-LD data for search engines
Multilingual - supports all your store's languages via Shopify Translations

Excellent app. We have over 3,000 product collections for over 2million products. This app helped us organise this and get breadcrumbs on our product pages with ease. We're already seeing SEO benefits. Also fantastic speedy support from the developer. Highly recommended

Wow. That's huge! I didn't know that kind of scale was possible, but all credit to Shopify for expanding the capacity of the platform. Also really appreciate that my app could be part of your success story.

Provide a plan option that is free and some instructions on uninstalling the app to be sure it doesn’t mess up your site.

I never really used this app. Just tested a few things and decided it dint work for me.

Thanks for your review. I appreciate from your feedback that I must give clearer instruction so I've made some changes.

I've gone back into the "Help" screens to add a section on uninstalling the app. The app doesn't leave anything behind or require anything to be removed manually, it just uses the Shopify uninstall process to ensure your site isn't left in a mess:

I don't currently offer a free plan, but I'm looking into that too. Currently I offer a free 10-day trial, but I appreciate some stores would benefit from a longer grace period.

We have used Categories Uncomplicated for many years, since the beginning of our online store, without problems. Everything works perfectly. Recently, we had an issue with the front end online, and Shopify tech support identified the problem as being Categories Uncomplicated. Except it wasn't. Alex, when contacted, jumped right in to help and identified the actual problem. Even though he didn't need to since the issue had nothing to do with him or the app, he still took the time to look at our store and give me the instructions needed to solve the issue.
At the risk of sounding like Bill and Ted, it was most excellent service. I highly recommend this app and company.
