Product Category helps you display WooCommerce product categories in a clean, customizable, and conversion-friendly way. Instead of sending visitors through a plain category list, you can build stylish category sections that guide shoppers toward the products they want faster.
Use it on landing pages, shop pages, homepages, blog posts, sidebars, and custom layouts. Whether you prefer the Block Editor, Elementor, SiteOrigin, or a simple shortcode, Product Category gives you a practical way to showcase selected categories with layout, typography, image, color, and pagination controls.
The plugin is built for store owners, designers, and developers who want more control over how WooCommerce categories appear without writing custom templates.
Compatible with:
<ul>
<li>Shortcode for classic pages, posts, and custom content areas.</li>
<li>Block Editor with a dedicated Gutenberg product category block.</li>
<li>SiteOrigin Editor with a product category widget.</li>
<li>Elementor with a product category widget.</li>
</ul>
The main strength of this plugin is its editor flexibility: choose your preferred workflow, select the categories you want to highlight, and adjust the display to match your store design.

WooCommerce sends stock notifications to a single store-wide email address. Category Notifications for WooCommerce lets you route those notifications to additional recipients based on the product’s category — so the right people get notified about the right products.
Need your supplier to know when their products are running low? Want your warehouse manager to receive alerts only for items in their section? Have multiple category owners who each need to track their own range? This plugin makes that effortless.
<h4>Why use this plugin</h4>
<ul>
<li>Skip the noise. Each recipient only gets notifications for the categories they care about.</li>
<li>Multi-supplier shops. Notify each supplier when products from their range hit low stock or sell out.</li>
<li>Multi-warehouse setups. Route alerts to the location that handles the affected category.</li>
<li>Category managers. Give purchase managers, brand managers, or product owners alerts for just their range.</li>
<li>Drop-shippers. Forward stock alerts to the supplier responsible for the product line.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Add unlimited rules — each with one or more include categories, optional exclude sub-categories, and one or more email recipients.</li>
<li>Comma-separated email lists per rule (<code>a@example.com, b@example.com</code>).</li>
<li>Hierarchical category support. Set a rule on a parent category and it automatically covers all child categories. Set a rule on a child category and it only covers that branch.</li>
<li>Sub-category excludes. Include a parent category but exclude specific sub-categories that should be handled by a different recipient.</li>
<li>Multi-include. One rule can match several categories at once, sharing the same recipient list and the same exclude set.</li>
<li>Variation-aware. Variable products correctly use the parent product’s categories when a single variation hits the threshold.</li>
<li>Rich select2 UI. Both include and exclude fields use WooCommerce’s enhanced select, with categories indented by hierarchy depth for easy navigation.</li>
<li>Works alongside the standard WooCommerce stock notification — these are additional recipients, not a replacement.</li>
<li>Translation-ready (<code>jalma-category-notifications-for-woocommerce</code> text domain). Swedish (<code>sv_SE</code>) included.</li>
<li>No external services, no telemetry, no API keys.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Configure rules at WooCommerce → Category notifications: pick one or more include categories, optionally pick sub-categories to exclude, and enter the email addresses that should be notified.</li>
<li>When a product reaches low stock or sells out, the plugin checks the product’s categories (and parent categories) against your rules.</li>
<li>Matching rules fire and their email addresses receive a clear notification with the product name, current stock, and a link to edit the product.</li>
</ol>
This runs on top of WooCommerce’s existing low-stock / out-of-stock hooks, so it respects all your normal stock-notification settings (thresholds, manage-stock, etc.).
