Assigning Blocks to Category or Product Pages

The topic describes how to create a category and a product details page by assigning CMS blocks to those pages.

This might be useful if you decided to hold a marketing campaign, a set of activities (sales, discounts) geared towards some event or add a banner to the page. In this case, you can embed a CMS block containing the marketing content that will be displayed only on category or product detail pages you specify.

To start creating the category or product detail pages, navigate to the Content Management > Blocks section.
