**Setting up products — step 1 of 3.** Start with categories, then [Product Attributes](../product-attributes/), then [Create Products](../product-setup/). In Dual and Net modes you can designate some of these categories as trade-in devices — see [Trade-In Catalog](../store-modes/trade-in-catalog/).

## Setting Up Categories

For an electronics buyback store, you might create categories like:

*   **Phones** — Apple, Samsung, Google
*   **Tablets** — iPad, Galaxy Tab
*   **Laptops** — MacBook, Dell, HP

Type the name into **Name** (1) and click **Add new category**. To nest one category inside another, pick its parent under **Parent category** (2).

Categories help organize your storefront. Customers browse categories to find the product they want to sell to you.
