Service Subcategories Overview

Service Subcategories Overview

Service Subcategories allow you to further organize your services within your main Service Categories. They create an additional layer of structure that helps both admins and customers navigate large service catalogs more easily.

While Service Categories define your top-level structure, Service Subcategories help break those categories down into more specific groupings.

This is especially powerful for:

• Large single-business setups with many services
• Multivendor marketplaces with multiple service verticals
• Platforms offering diverse service types across industries

Accessing Service Subcategories

1. Log into your Admin Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Settings → Services → Service Subcategories.

This section displays all subcategories currently configured on your platform. Each one belongs to a parent Service Category.
